1 session

This introductory workshop will provide a brief overview of your native camera, basic photographic composition tips and introduce you to one of the most commonly used editing apps on your iPhone or iPad called Snapseed. If time permits, demonstration of other post processing apps will be offered.  The goal of this workshop is to take you beyond the “native” camera in order to show you how to make creative images that reflect how you see the world. You don’t need to be an experienced photographer to participate. This class is geared for those who have never used post-processing apps.

Please bring your iPhone and/or iPad to the workshop fully charged and your charger, just in case. Please upgrade to the latest operating system. Most importantly, before arriving to the class, please upload Snapseed from the App Store. There is no extra cost for this app.  And lastly, have at least 3-5 images that you’ve taken with your iPhone that you’d like to work on.

There are many photo post processing apps available in the App Store and if there is time, we will look at 1 or 2 other apps. You’ll also be given a list of recommended apps available to purchase. Should you walk away from this workshop “hooked” on this art form, you may be wanting more and more apps to experiment with! The first tip I offer you is to learn one app really well before going on to another one.

Rebecca Bruyn is an alternative photography artist who has spent the last 25 years exploring ways to transform traditional photographic imagery. In 1999,  she began creating cyanotype photographic imagery, and in 2013, she discovered the iPhone camera and the ease with which it allowed her to capture spontaneous and unexpected moments. That discovery launched her into a new mobile digital art world, where she learned to post-process using a variety of apps on her iPhone and iPad—apps and pixels becoming her paintbrush.

Bruyn’s love of photographic imagery blends iPhone photography with historic and alternative processes, including cyanotype prints, vintage Kodachrome slides reimagined through iPhoneography, and most recently, gilded vellum prints. Her work bridges analog and digital practices, honoring photographic history while pushing it into contemporary forms.

In 2022, her work was exhibited at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum in Out of the Blue, alongside two other cyanotype artists. She has also exhibited at Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill, The Provincetown Commons, Cotuit Center for the Arts, Cape Cod Museum of Art, Cape Cod Art Association, The Creative Arts Center in Chatham, Soho Photo Gallery in New York City, and the 2017 Mira Mobile Exhibition EARTH in Porto, Portugal.

Bruyn has received numerous awards, including winning the Provincetown Pilgrim Monument 100th Anniversary Wine Label Competition in 2010.
