When you photograph your beautiful granddaughter you are making a couple of different statements. First, your granddaughter is beautiful and nothing in the world compares (Unless, of course, you have several grandchildren.)
Secondly, you love all your grandchildren. Pictures of your grandchildren say a lot about you.

This course is unlike any course I’ve ever taught.
It’s a comprehensive photography course with the iPhone at its center. Yes, it’s about the bells and whistles on an iPhone, but it’s much more than that.
It will help you to be a better photographer with any camera, not just your iPhone. And it will help you do it all with sensitivity, humor, and humanity. Again, that’s the heart part.

The world is a big place full of cracks and crevices containing wonderful photographs, all of them waiting for you and your camera. I intend to open you up to the possibility of photographing parts of the world that you’ve barely noticed, much less photographed. Then you can share your vision of that world using the most wonderful sharing machine ever made, the iPhone.
I always come back to sharing, because that’s really what it’s all about.

I’m going to use a variety of tools to teach the curriculum.
- Dozens of short super informative and entertaining videos about photography in general.
- Dozens of how-to-videos about the specifics of an iPhone.
- Office hours with a live human being and iPhone expert, course instructor Nick Kelsh.
- Dozens of editing tutorials using the photographs of Nick and students, befores and afters. All edited on the iPhone.
Of course I’m going to get a little bit technical. Photography, after all, is. When you embrace iPhone’s technology it can be a language of love. I'll say that again. When you embrace the technology it can become a language of love.
Repetition is important to good teaching. I do it all the time. The trick is to recognize the repetition when it happens. For example, the lessons you learn from photographing and editing a picture of a mountain also apply to a newborn baby. You just need to be able to recognize the similarities and patterns and understand why they work for both subjects.
And finally, we want to keep reminding you of how thinking visually and getting comfortable with your pocket sized camera connects you with your life, the lives of people you love, and a very large, beautiful world.
That’s the heart part.

Mastering the techniques of the great masters and combining those skills with one of the great pieces of technology ever created can connect you with a world you've never seen before and has always been there.
You photograph them, you share with them, you inspire them with the way you see the world. Photography is the language of love that very few people speak fluently. You can and will.
When you are alone in nature with just you and your iPhone you have an opportunity to connect with creation in a way nothing else can. It’s downright spiritual but you need to know how to use your phone.
This is a simple way of presenting yourself to the world, and preserving your spirit in perpetuity. That’s right, I said it. This is how you can live forever.
I will walk you through the bells and whistles of the iPhone and show you how they relate to various situations and subjects in your life. Some of them you will find useless. But some of them will transform the way you take pictures. When you master the ones that work for you and your life, you are well on your way.

There are many photographers that think the back of someone’s head makes for a bad photograph. Then again there are lots of great photographers that know the back of someone's head can be a real grabber. It just depends on how you see the world.
