Online smartphone photography training

Since the start of the Pandemic, all of my training has moved online.  By far the most popular subject is smartphone photography. I have delivered online training to individuals and to groups of over 300. Smartphone photography courses make great staff training activities, link well with social media training as well as being purely for pleasure. Training is tailored to suit the needs of the client but typically involves the hidden features of the smartphone camera, taking control of your smartphone camera, getting better pictures and editing on your smartphone using Snapseed. I can also deliver courses on smartphone videography.

Nigel put together an excellent three hour online presentation on the use of smartphone cameras.  The content was well thought out, timed to perfection, presented seamlessly and so in demand that we ran a further 5 sessions for groups of 12 participants.  He adapted it to suit all camera models and covered most of their technical capabilities aswell as looking at the editing software.   His knowledge and presentation skills were appreciated by beginners as well as the more experienced photographers in our group.

Sea vessel exhibition at Oriel Myrddin in Carmarthen

Over the last few years, I have been working with ceramicist Peter Bodenham on a project highlighting the impact and scale of marine plastics by concentrating on a small stretch of a west Wales beach. While I have been photographing and filming the plastic, Peter has been making ceramic responses based on the objects found.

Peter’s ceramics and a film I created are currently on show at Oriel Myrddin in Carmarthen until the end of October 2020.

Over the last two years, I have been taking a Masters Degree in Fine Art. The course has allowed me to experiment further with familiar media such as film in video into new areas but also learn new skills such as welding, 3D printing, and ceramics.

This is a clip from a short art video produced as part of my final Masters Project.

The video can be seen at art shows online and physical (hopefully) over the next 12 months.
