__**Original Price NT$2000, Early Bird NT$1200**__ **■ Location: Ding Ai Culture Daocheng Branch (3F, No. 21, Lane 239, Nanjing West Road, Datong District, Taipei City)** **■ This course consists of a 1.5-hour indoor session + 1-hour outdoor practical session** https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/phone-photography-comp-700x487.jpg Since the first iPhone was introduced, we’ve become accustomed to phones integrating numerous functions. Among these, the constant innovation in camera lenses is a key focus for every brand, making mobile phones an excellent choice for photography. If you prefer not to invest in DSLRs or digital cameras, a smartphone is indeed the ideal option: it’s portable without being heavy, its camera interface appears straightforward, and you can instantly share photos with friends and family. While convenient, after a while, you might start feeling the desire to elevate the quality of your photos! "I want to learn to take better-looking results with my phone camera!" Pressing the shutter button isn't difficult, but somehow all your photos seem to look the same... "I feel like some people's photos just look amazing! And they're using the same phone." It feels like there are still some features on the phone camera that I haven't quite figured out! "It would be so much better if there were some small tips or tricks!" **This two-and-a-half-hour workshop is specifically for those who aspire to capture beautiful photographs with their smartphone. Leveraging the convenience and intuitive operation of mobile phones, we will familiarize you with the basic camera interface, recommend useful functions, and introduce effective composition techniques. This ensures that those wanting to learn mobile photography can grasp the essentials and acquire practical skills in one session.** If you've encountered these challenges, the content covered in this workshop will offer solutions: ■ You see a beautiful landscape, but no matter how you take a photo with your phone, it doesn't look as stunning as the real scene. ■ At tourist spots, the crowds often make your photos look cluttered. ■ When taking photos for others, you worry about your shots not looking good or struggling to balance the proportion of people and scenery. ■ You're unsure about what some of your phone's camera functions are or how to use them. Compared to other photography tools that can seem intimidating, leading to hesitation even after a few attempts, starting with mobile photography is an excellent beginning! https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/%E6%89%8B%E6%A9%9F%E6%94%9D%E5%BD%B1%E8%AA%B2%E7%A8%8B%EF%BC%9A%E4%B8%80%E7%9C%BC%E7%9E%AC%E9%96%93_%E5%85%A7%E5%AE%B9%E5%9C%96-1.jpg **Course Content:** 1.
