"GRAB YOUR DEVICE" with EVA BRADLEY
SATURDAY 14th SEPTEMBER , 1pm-2:30pm
For ages : 10-14 years
As a parent of two young boys obsessed with Minecraft, Hawke's Bay photographer Eva Bradley spends a fair bit of time wondering how to get her kids OFF their devices.
But what if you worked with the tech instead of against it, and turned a kid's love affair for their device into a natural portal for creativity?
In this workshop, Eva takes kids back to the basics of how to take a good photo on any camera, but specifically the one they always have with them on their device. There's no filters, no aps, no stickers and no selfies. Just good, old-fashioned principles of photography - tools to create a good photo that will stay with them for life.
1 hour session, limited to a group of 10. Must bring a smart phone, digital camera or tablet capable of taking photos.
Where : Hastings City Library
Cost $25.
Please make payment direct to FOTO IWI CHARITABLE TRUST
