Course Description

Whether you’re experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or enjoying a weekend getaway, capturing beautiful memories to bring home is a must. Luckily, the days of lugging around heavy cameras, multiple lenses, and laptops just to get a frame-worthy photograph are behind us. With each new iteration, smartphone cameras become more advanced, revolutionizing the way we approach travel photography.

Join photographer Pei Ketron for an engaging three-hour seminar dedicated to capturing stunning travel photos with the camera always at your fingertips—your iPhone. Explore the key principles of travel photography, from strategically planning your itinerary to make the most of natural light, to understanding the technical nuances of photographing with an iPhone. The seminar concludes with a hands-on guide to editing your photos directly on your phone using Lightroom Mobile, allowing you to perfect your mobile-only workflow from start to finish.

For travelers eager to simplify their gear without sacrificing quality, this program offers the tools to capture stunning, share-worthy images with just your iPhone. Gain the skills and confidence to create professional-level photos—no bulky equipment required. Whether exploring new destinations or capturing everyday moments, learn how to make the most of your mobile device to produce visually striking images that stand out and tell a story.
