FAQs

Can I photograph my own products?

Yes, depending on the size. This workshop is for smaller products that fit on a standard sized backdrop. Please specify your approximate product dimensions when registering.

Is this for Android or iPhone?

Both!

Will older phones work?

Ideally, your phone should be no more than 5 years old (depending on the phone) with multiple lens available. Please contact us directly if you are unsure.

Will I be learning how to use the manual camera settings on my phone?

Not in this workshop. As we aim to cover a wide variety of topics, there simply isn’t enough time. We will be holding more focused workshops to explore manual settings in the near future. Sign up for our newsletter for future workshop announcements or join our workshop waitlist.

Can I use my camera instead?

You can, but you won’t be able to edit your camera photos “live” in class. Please contact us for options.

Is this location peanut or allergy-free?

As this location is an operating bakery, unfortunately we cannot guarantee an allergy free environment.

What To Bring

• A fully charged cellphone
