Close-up Photography Playground! With Your Smartphone!

Registration opens Saturday, January 5, and will sell out quickly!

Outer Banks folks! Let your imagination run free! Have fun with easy, close-up photography in this hands-on class! You don’t need a fancy camera—in fact, you don’t even need a camera! We’re going to work only with smartphones. Download the free Snapseed app to your smartphone, charge it up fully, and bring it to class. Add a little kindergarten creativity. It’s all you’ll need!  

OBX professional photographers Eve Turek and Dan Beauvais will share ideas for this fun, take-anywhere style of photography.  After a brief introduction, you’ll play with all sorts of found objects like buttons, feathers, Slinkies, tiny shells, pipe cleaners, watch parts, colored pencils, leaves, and even a cheese grater! You’ll make images with your phone, and embellish them with Snapseed. It’s child’s play, for grown-ups! Come have a fun evening in the Close-up Photography Playground with Dan and Eve!

Abstract colors, made by twisting strands of shiny plastic beads into a helix, then photographing them at very close range and deliberately well out of focus. The reflection off each bead became an orb of color.
