iCan Click – Professional Quality Photographs of Handmade Items Using Smartphones and Tablet

---

Recently I had the pleasure of filming a class for F&W media for their Craft U, online courses.  Let me tell you, those folks are great to work with!  I had a ball filming and think you'll love this course.

I was asked to present a class based on using cell phone and tablet cameras to photograph handmade works.  We wanted to focus on makers and crafters who specialize in crochet, knitting, weaving, and beading... but anyone who uses a cell phone or wants to take great photos with that magical device in their pocket will get a lot of GREAT information to use. 

​Here's a little bit about my class and who should take it…

Inspiration… weeks of work… elbow grease… the occasional tear… They’ve all gone into making perfect handmade item. It’s finished! Time to show it off on social media or sell it online; but alas, photography is not a skill you’ve honed. Now what? 

It’s time to pull out your phone… Your smartphone camera is the ideal tool for taking that perfect shot of your handiwork; compact, powerful, and almost always found in your front pocket. It’s capable of capturing any special moment. You only need to learn to harness its full potential. 

In my course you will learn the basics of how Smartphone cameras work, find the right light for photographing any handmade project, create a professional environment for taking your photos, explore a few downloadable apps to assist you in your quest for the perfect photo, and I’ll give you one sure-fire tip that is certain to take your photos from drab to FAB.

I’ve spent the past 10 years learning how to take breathtaking photographs of handmade items on any camera. Come and learn the simple techniques you can use to get professional quality photos of your handmade projects with your Smartphone.
​
The class runs from March 15th – May 9th 2016, and covers topics such as: 

• Intro to Smartphone Use 
• Get to Know Your Smartphone Camera
• How to Manage Light & Other Useful Tools
• Composition, Creativity, & Personal Style
  
• Lightboxes, Swoops, & Backgrounds
• Editing Your Photos
• File Types, Sizing, Compression, & Storage
  
• Final Thoughts from a Professional Photographer
  

To make learning simple and because we know you're going to want to practice each technique before going on to the next, only one segment will be released weekly.  You'll never feel pressured to sit down and try to absorb everything one evening. You can register anytime during these weeks but I recommend you register now to take full advantage of the time available to re-watch previous lessons. Here's an added bonus... I'll be monitoring the forum/gallery, answering your questions and giving feedback to all your posted projects.
