Industrial Bath With A Smartphone - Full Day Workshop - Saturday 1st March
There’s so much more to Bath than Georgian buildings!
Bath is full of unusual and appealing places to make images. The trouble is that much of it is well hidden!
Uncover some of Bath’s industrial heritage, past and present
Learn how to make engaging pictures of unusual areas with your smartphone
Discover the route to making your images stand out by editing on your smartphone
If that sounds good, this workshop is for you!
In a relaxed, informal group of no more than eight people, we start by learning three key skills that will take your smartphone photography to the next level.
We then head out for a couple of hours to see bits of Bath that you may not have seen before! We visit the canal, now a tranquil scene in a busy part of Bath, but once a busy waterway where we see an intriguing mix of ancients and modern. Then we visit an industrial estate with fascinating doorways and textures, where the railway runs overhead. Finally, we head back along a less frequented part of the River Avon, complete with more railway bridges, submerged boats and a chance to see where floods levels rose over the years.
Next, we head back to base for a presentation on image editing. After a light lunch (included in the price of the workshop), you receive detailed training on how to use the Snapseed editing app. This app is free and available for both iOS and Android users.
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 editing styles. 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 is on hand throughout the session to 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
The workshop starts at 9.30 and finishes at 4pm
Please bring your own smartphone – feel free to bring a tablet to edit on if this is easier for you.
The workshop involves some gentle walking. Please make sure you dress appropriately for the weather.
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.
