Instructors: Rachael Sokolowski

9am - 12pm
1 session
The iPhone contains a camera that is a fantastic tool for the artist to ‘make’ images rather than just ‘take’ them. In this workshop, we will explore the native iPhone camera and all it has to offer. We will create interesting close-up shots, create wide and long panoramas, use different techniques for slow shutter images and explore low light photography.
We will put your newly found tools to work in the field and capture images. After our photo shoot, we will explore various editing capabilities including adding filters, adjusting light and colors, and using the different drawing and text tools.
The native camera and editor are already on your phone. Nothing to download there!
You will not need to purchase any apps but be aware that some of the features we will discuss are only available on later iPhone models. iPhone 13 Pro and later models are recommended but not necessary.
Rachael Sokolowski was an early adopter of the iPhone as her camera of choice. She works visually in photography, video and mixed media, often adding text and different filters from various iPhone apps. She prints to a variety of different media, often adding to the images with ink, pastel and water-based oils. For the past two years, Rachael has co-led Cape Cod Magic’ workshops with fellow photographer Rad Drew. Her images have been shown at juried and group shows at different locations on the Cape Cod and awards include honorable mentions in non-professional section of the 13th and 16th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards and the Creative Arts Center in Chatham and first place in the 2020 National Association of Digital Artists Resilience Competition. Her film Snowmageddon won best in show at the 2015 Provincetown Film Festival and was shown in New York City at the 2016 Dog Film Festival. She is a member of the National Association of Digital Artists, The Truro Group, and the Cape Cod Digital Arts Group. Rachael lives year-round with her wife, Amanda Reed, border collie, Meadow, and two cats Matilda and Morrison, in North Truro, Massachusetts.
