Last summer I was a teacher in the original Phone Photography Project class at Big Picture Classes. I’m happy to say that the class has been rereleased this summer as a self-paced class. Not only was this class a ton of fun, but the challenges were had me shooting and creating compositions with my Smartphone that I normally wouldn’t think of doing. You’ll get all the same great content from the original Phone Photography Project guided workshop (from summer 2013) to do at your own pace.If you don’t have a smartphone, don’t worry! All the challenges can be tackled with a DSLR or a point-and-shoot camera. You can sign up for the class HERE.

Here’s what Big Picture has to say:
