Let's talk about Smartphoneography (smart phone photography)! Learn how to take professional-level photos with the tap of a smartphone in this introductory photography course led by Chris Charles. Gain insight on the basic principles of photography and a crash-course introduction to lighting, composition and editing images.
We recommend bringing your own equipment and making sure your phones are fully charged.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY with dreams of becoming an architect, Chris Charles studied Architectural Engineering at SUNY Farmingdale College of Technology prior to a "short" 12-year stint as a US Army Paratrooper (random, but true) ...all the while honing his skills in coffee making and chocolate cake eating. After some years in the private sector as an IT professional, Charles then earned a degree in Graphic Design from The Art Institute of Raleigh-Durham and has been able to use his technical training and natural ability to successfully carve a niche for himself in local and national markets.
