The Art of iPhone Photography with Hannah Gamble

Tuesday 6th October
17.30 - 20.00

Photography has never been more accessible, but what makes one image stand out from the many photographs we take every day?

Join professional photographer Hannah Gamble for a friendly and practical workshop exploring how to get more from the camera on your smartphone. Through examples, demonstrations and discussion, Hannah will introduce simple techniques that can make an immediate difference to your photographs, including:

- composition and visual storytelling
- making effective use of light
- useful camera settings and features
- common mistakes and how to avoid them
- simple ways to improve everyday photographs

The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who already enjoy photography and would like to develop their skills. No specialist equipment or technical knowledge is needed - just bring a fully charged smartphone!

All smartphones are welcome. Hannah will demonstrate using an iPhone, so menus and controls may appear differently on other devices. Because layouts vary between makes and models, participants using other phones may occasionally need to help locate the equivalent setting on their own device. However, all the photographic principles and techniques covered apply across smartphones.

Following the workshop, guests are invited to a drinks reception and private viewing of 'Picturing Eton' in the Verey Gallery. Drawing on Eton College’s Photographic Archive, the exhibition traces the changing history of photography through images of daily life at Eton, from early photographic processes to the digital age. Hannah will use selected photographs from the exhibition to connect its themes with some of the ideas explored during the workshop.

This event forms part of the Windsor Festival programme.

The Eton Action Fair is Eton Action’s biggest charity fundraiser event of the year!

Eton Action transforms Eton College’s grounds into a community fair every year to fundraise for five chosen charities. Games, stalls and performances are organised by the students and staff of Eton College to raise money for charities supported by Eton Action (an independent charity conceived of and founded by Etonians to promote charitable activity and social responsibility). In addition to this, many outside organisations, mainly charitable foundations, are invited to bring stalls and raise funds for their own causes. Every year, the fair draws thousands of visitors from Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead, as well as parents and friends of Etonians, and raises large sums of money for a wide range of charitable causes.​ The income from all these events is pooled and divided between charitable foundations and projects chosen by the committee and voted on by every boy in the school.
