Robeson Pavilion Room A & B

Want to take better photos of your products or services? Good news—you won't need to purchase any fancy equipment; you can simply use your smartphone!

A good photo can make anything interesting; so why do we see so many bad photos in marketing materials and on social media?

Level up your smartphone photography skills to best market yourself, your business, or your services.  Communicate your credibility to your current customers and expand your target audience through better photos.

Join Holly Birch Photography and Kreative Visions Photography and learn: 

  • the basics of photography and how it applies to smartphones
  • how to style your product
  • how to properly focus and expose your images
  • how to find good lighting
  • budget-friendly hacks to make your photos stand out from the rest

This will be an in-person workshop that will not be recorded. This workshop is limited to 15 participants but will have a wait list. If you register but are unable to make the event, please let library staff know so that we can pass your spot to someone on the wait list.
