iPhone Artistry: On Location, Downtown New Canaan
September 27 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am
Downtown New Canaan is a great place to learn how to create photos using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and multiple exposure (ME) techniques with your iPhone. Using the Slow Shutter and Average Cam Pro apps we will explore New Canaan the same way we would Paris or London, leveraging the power of your iPhone and capturing the town using the two hottest trends in photography today.
We will meet at Starbucks on Elm Street for a quick review of how to use these apps, think abstractly and about which subjects best lend themselves to these creative photography techniques. We will then wander through the town and practice, experiment and “play” with the apps, taking photos of stationary objects (think storefronts), moving objects (cars, people, dogs) and everything in between. Deb will be by your side ready to help you decide which app might work best, what settings you should use and how to best compose the shot. For the last part of the class, we will go to the Library where we will be able to share images from the morning and ask questions.
This is a follow-up to the intro class Deb taught in the spring, but is open to anyone familiar with the basics of iPhone photography.
Cost is $75 for members or $90 for non-members. Please register below, class is limited to 10 people.
NOTE: Participants should download the SlowShutter and Average Camera Pro apps for the iPhone before the course. To download, go to the iPhone App Store and look for:
About Deborah Loeb Bohren
Based in Stamford, Connecticut, I won my first photography contest when I was in the 6th grade at P.S. 27 in Yonkers, NY and can’t remember when photography wasn’t a part of my life.
After a successful 30+ year career in strategic communications, marketing and advertising, I had an epiphany early one morning and decided to leave the corporate world behind in 2012 to pursue my photography full-time. My work is now part of private/individual and corporate collections nationwide, including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the Burke Rehabilitation Hospital and Willow Gardens Memory Care Center. “Homage to the Cubists in Paris” was awarded 1st Place in the 14th Annual International Color Awards in the Professional/Abstract category (2021), and my work has been in a multitude of group exhibitions in the US, as well as internationally.
I serve as a judge and guest presenter at camera clubs across the country, including the Stamford Photography Club, the Color Camera Club of Westchester, Fort Dearborn-Chicago Photo Forum and Palo Alto Camera Club. In addition I teach a range of photography courses including abstract photography, travel photography and creative iPhone photography in-person and via Zoom.
