The discipline
The phone is the most-used camera in history and the least-seriously taught. This workshop takes it seriously: computational exposure and its limits, raw capture, lens discipline on fixed focal lengths, and an editing workflow that ends in prints — because phone photographs survive paper better than most people expect.
No accessories are required beyond the device in your pocket and a willingness to stop calling it 'just' a phone.

Field notes
Wipe the lens. This is not a joke; it is the number-one image-quality upgrade.
Lock exposure before you frame. The phone's guess is a suggestion.
Print at postcard size weekly. The phone's screen flatters; paper reports.
Questions, answered
Which phone do I need?
Any phone from the last four or five years with a raw-capable camera app — we help you set one up on day one.
Is this photography-lite?
The exposures are computational; the seeing is not. Composition, light, and timing transfer entirely — several graduates report their 'real' cameras improved too.
Do you cover video?
A single afternoon of fundamentals. The workshop's heart is the still image.
