Smartphone workshop: Seeing & Perceiving

In this course, participants gain hands-on experience in unlocking the full potential of their smartphone cameras. We teach the fundamentals of optics and image composition: How does clear spring light transform a subject? What effect do different angles create? Through targeted photo challenges on the grounds of Leica Welt, students learn to scan architecture and nature through the eyes of a photographer. The goal is to build technical confidence and develop a conscious awareness of aesthetics and detail.
