Advanced smartphone editing - online - new dates coming soon!
Many people don’t realise just how creative they can be with a smartphone
Have a look at the images on this page: they were all created in just a few minutes using a smartphone. And they were all created using free or low-cost apps.
To create images like this there are three things that you should master:
How textures can make a big difference to an image
How to combine two (or more!) images
How to change colour
Introducing “Advanced smartphone editing”
In a relaxed, informal online group of no more than eight people, you learn how to take creative images to the next level with your smartphone. And it only takes four hours.
We start with introductions and sharing our goals. Then we will cover some of the different looks that can be achieved with the smartphone, along with examples. Next we will cover some simple editing apps, and also learn some of the advanced features of the Snapseed app, including using it in some ways that it wasn’t really designed for!
After a short break, it is time for you to share the images you would like to work on and we’ll discuss what we might do with them. Now it is time for you try out your new editing skills on your own images. Matt will guide you to ensure you achieve the best possible results. You have the chance to try a number of different apps and ideas. Finally, we share our images, receive feedback and celebrate what we have created!
Your tutor for the session is Matt Parker
Matt is an experienced photographer who has been creating smartphone images for many years. He has published four books of his work and his prints and cards are widely available.
Matt is a professional trainer and has studied brain friendly learning. He will lead this session and make sure that you receive tips, personal feedback and inspiration.
Two beautiful A5 art prints of your work are included
At the end of the session, you choose two of your images and Matt will create physical versions with art paper and archival inks, ready for framing. (These are delivered by post after the event.)
The details
This workshop is delivered online by Zoom. Ideally, you will log on with your computer so you can use your smartphone or table for editing. The session starts at 9.30am UK time and finishes at around 1.30 pm. There will be a short break in the middle.
Please note that I do not cover basic editing in this session. You should have already attended my session On How To Edit Stand Out Images On Your Smartphone or be a competent Snapseed user (and understand how to apply selective edits in individual layers) in order to benefit from this session.
You should download the Snapseed and Photosplit apps, which are free and available to iOS and Android, before the session. iOS users should also download the free versions of Mextures and DistressedFX.
You receive a recording of our time together so you can review what we have covered after our time together.
This workshop is subject to a minimum of four people booking.

Testimonials
I was lucky enough to attend a workshop with Matt and learned so much. Matt is an excellent tutor and presented the information in a clear and accessible way. He encouraged us to use our mobile phone cameras to take pictures that went deeper than the usual quick snaps. We also spent a little time on editing software which I found very useful. I took a photo that I really love which I had printed and have hung on the wall at home. I highly recommend this training if you want to explore better mobile phone photography.

I was lucky to be a participant in one of Matt's smartphone sessions.
The day revolved around thinking about what you want to say in your photos - how to construct a scene, how to choose angles, viewpoints and also how to edit your pictures to manage this.
For someone whose main ideas of photos previously had been a recorder of family events, the course was an eye opener.
The main attraction, however, is Matt's experience and ability to put this across. Matt has an excellent portfolio to illustrate his ideas and is a clear communicator in getting this across.
Very highly recommended.

Matt’s photography training simplified the photography process. He inspired me to be much more creative, seeing photographic possibilities in a whole range of subjects. I’d really recommend one of his workshops.
