The High Museum of Art is offering an interactive class to help people utilize their smartphone cameras in a more productive way.
The class, Pixel Playground: Capturing Life through Your Smartphone Camera Lens, will run 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. daily, through June 29 in the Wieland Pavilion.
The class is inspired by the exhibit, Evelyn Hofer: Eyes on the City, which is on display through Aug. 13. Hofer was a beloved innovative photographer whose prolific career spanned five decades.
Michelle Alba, a teaching artist at the High Museum of Art, is teaching the class. Participants will learn the essentials of smartphone photography, including tips on developing composition, choosing a proper setting, and learning photo editing. It will also explore architectural and portrait photography both in the gallery and on the streets of Midtown.
The final class will be dedicated to fine tuning images using the smartphone’s editing features, followed by a group critique and discussion of all bodies of work, which will then be printed and matted.
Participants must bring their own smartphone, but all other supplies will be provided.
