Seminar Description

Current details for apps are based on iOS 12.4 and expecting iOS 13 to be released mid-September, just after our class begins.

This seminar is still evolving. This was submitted for Fall 2019:
This seminar includes participant-led demonstrations where experienced photographers use multiple iPhone apps to create print-ready artwork. In-class demonstrations and online shared albums are our critique and learning platforms. This semester we will stylize collages of existing images. Visit our website for activities, demonstration videos, and examples of our artwork at https://rsiphonephotostudio.blogspot.com. New photo artists should expect to purchase $25 in apps. Requirements: iPhone 7, 8, X, XR, XS; iOS 11 or 12, AppleID. An iPad is helpful for editing photos. This is NOT a beginner photography seminar. We continue socializing at lunch after session.

Possible assignments include making collages from your library: 1) shapes, 2) textures, 3) flat colors, 4) color graduations, 5) faces, etc.

These collages will be processed by many apps to see how filters and effects 
change the images. For example:


To improve this image workflow we will want to add app and effect names. Easy to do using PicCollage or Apple Markup Extension. 

These effect studies will help as we apply styles to existing images.

While on vacation (hey, I'm retired - does vacation ever end?) I picked up some new ideas for printing and projects to share with your friends and family. Exploration, discovery and fun ahead!

Wacky Fall Schedule

My how the time flies. It is time to submit the seminar descriptions for the fall semester. First step is to request the library community rooms. Meeting schedule has been confirmed. Sept 5, 12, 19 and Oct 3, 17, 24.

You will notice some gaps in our six-session pattern. We can discuss how to fill the blanks with possible field trips or just stay with classroom dates.
