What you will need to bring
All you need is a smartphone and an editing app. My technical expertise is on an iPhone, but if you have an Android phone, you can still take this course. Some of the features on your Android camera will be a bit different to access from an iPhone. I will spend time helping you find those features on your Android, as I do have some knowledge of Android phone cameras. If you have an Android phone, please be aware that I may not be able to access all features; however, you will still benefit from this course.
Who is this for?
This workshop is for anyone, from beginner to professional, who would like to learn how to improve their property photos using their smartphone camera.

About Raina
I am an international award-winning photographic artist living in Provence, France, originally from the USA. I have been a photographer for 30 years and have a vast knowledge of photography, going back to the film days. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think a camera phone could create such beautiful photographs and make high-quality prints. I used to carry a big heavy camera and several lenses while traveling, which was quite cumbersome. Now, I most often use my iPhone, and I love the results. I believe that you do not need expensive gear to make great photographs.
I hope that you learn some new techniques to take your photography to the next level and that you have fun in the process.
Testimonials
“I had a truly fabulous experience with Raina!! She is a very gifted photographer and instructor. Raina is very skilled at teaching the nuances that make a great photograph and has a calm, beautiful way of empowering her students.
There were many things that stood out about Raina's photography sessions. First - she is unique in that she instructs using an iPhone! It made learning photography so easy and accessible. It is astonishing how fantastic my photos came out. Second, I loved the fact that Raina uses mindfulness at the root of how she teaches. By being mindful and noticing how you are seeing things creates an entirely new way to photograph. Third, Raina is an absolute pleasure to be with! She is fun, warm, and caring, and instructs in the most helpful of ways. Raina knows which environments create the best photos. To learn by walking in her footsteps was priceless. I would never have learned as much as I did or enjoyed myself as much as I did if it weren't for Raina.
My time with Raina was so inspiring and rewarding. I left transformed and uplifted and now have fabulous photos from our experience together. I can't wait for my next course with Raina!”

“I was always interested in photography, but Raina's Mobile Phone Photography Workshop was the first one I ever took. I enjoyed learning from a confident teacher together with a small group where all our questions were addressed and answered. Raina is a generous and inspirational teacher and the photos I produced by the end of the workshop were much better than any of my photos before. Strong recommendation! “
