(As well as access to the live event, you will automatically receive a link to the recording, valid for 28 days)
See how to move beyond quick snapshots and make images comparable with any ‘proper’ camera.
Learn from step-by-step demonstration through the controls for you to manage exposure, focus and composition in real time, helping you make deliberate creative choices rather than relying on automation.
Explore how to recognise strong compositions in everyday situations and how to work with available light to create depth, atmosphere and visual impact.
Understand how small adjustments in viewpoint, timing and framing can transform an ordinary scene into something more expressive and creative.
The session will also include a practical editing demonstration using Snapseed, a powerful free app. Jet will explain how to refine colour, contrast and detail without over-processing, showing how thoughtful editing can strengthen mood and clarity while keeping your images natural and authentic.
You will see how the camera you always carry, can become a creative tool capable of producing polished, professional-looking photographs.
