This class is designed to embrace the new technology and the raising interest in mobile phone photography as well as discuss its creative possibilities and visual influence.

The majority of the class will take place during your own time, in your own space.

We will meet for the first class to give out the details about how the scavenger hunt will function. This will include mobile phone cameras, apps, sharing, flickr and hash tags.

Then, each following week a new assignment will be ‘scanned’ in and the photography scavenger hunt will begin again for another 7 days.

The weekly assignments are aimed at promoting creative thinking, composition as well as self reflection. You have 7 days to submit your best 3 images for each assignment, so your ‘bests’ should be well chosen. 

This 12 week class (10 assignments) will close with a final group meeting where 10 choice images (one from each assignment) will be displayed in large print form for us to admire and discuss in person. Other selected images will also be displayed.  

*Please Note: Participants need to have or aquire a smart phone (iphone, blackberry) as well as relevant apps needed to complete the course using only the smartphone..*
