Linda Holt will share tips and tricks on how to improve your photography skills with your smartphone.

In this program learn 6 tips to improve your smartphone photography skills, including:

  • How to use the smartphone like a DSLR camera
  • Best practices for mastering the lighting
  • How to get straight lines
  • The importance of the background
  • The correct way to zoom in
  • Linda's two favorite phone editing apps.

The program is suitable for both iPhone and Android users.

As a former professional photographer Linda Holt is no stranger to merging her creative eye with aesthetic appeal, having worked with more than than 5,000 celebrities, actors and models as one of Boston's top commercial head shot photographers. After 25 years in the business, she closed up her photography studio and enrolled in Design School. Today she uses her skilled photographic eye to help homeowners create a stylish, fresh and relaxed home that is reflective of their unique personality and lifestyle.

Over the past few years Linda put aside her heavy DSLR cameras and now shoots exclusively with her iphone and Samsung phone. She has become an expert in both smartphone photography and smartphone photo editing. After much encouragement, Linda combined her two passions of design and photography in order to help other designers master their smartphone photography skills. She is the creator of the on-line classes “Smartphone Photography for Interior Designers” ,“Better iPhone Photos” and “How to Photograph Your Short Term Rental Using the Smartphone”.

Memorial Hall Library is holding a photography contest as part of our 150th Anniversary celebrations! Come to this workshop to get tips and tricks to improve your phone photography skills, then snap a photo of the library for the contest. 

This program is sponsored by the Friends of Memorial Hall Library.
