Whether you are a budding photographer or someone just trying to get more likes on your Instagram posts, the ability to snap a good photo is an asset.

During the University of Delaware Library’s “Creative Photography: The Basics” workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of taking great photos.

In this hands-on workshop, you will explore composition, light, exposure, framing, color, motion and balance. By the end, you will know how to change your camera settings to achieve the desired effect; and how basic concepts like pattern, contrast and color impact the image.

The workshop will take place from 4-6 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 19, in Room B of the Student Multimedia Center in Morris Library. To attend, please register here.

Be sure to bring your digital camera. Don’t have access to one? Cameras are available for loan from the Student Multimedia Design Center service desk.

Nico Carver, coordinator, Student Multimedia Design Center Services, will lead this interactive workshop, which undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff are welcome to attend.

While workshops are free of charge, registration is required as seating is limited. For a complete listing of Library workshops, visit library.udel.edu/workshops.
