Smartphone Photography with Ginny Koppenhol
“Seeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph.” Ansel Adams
In this session, local photographer Ginny Koppenhol will help you to look beyond the obvious beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.
Using your smartphone camera, Ginny will offer tips and techniques to capture quirky details, create experimental images and celebrate the subjects you’re drawn to as you walk around Kirkby Lonsdale.
Covering photography fundamentals, editing techniques and plenty of playful tasks, this is a practical, mood-boosting session.
The session is suitable for beginners, but even if you have experience, you’ll come away with creative new ideas to try, as well as a mini-print of your favourite photo from the day.

” Ginny’s workshop was pitched so well. It created lots of ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ moments as we picked up lots of new tips and tricks. Thanks for being so encouraging, prepared, informative, flexible, engaging, inspiring, and a delight to be with. It was a great day”.
Nicola, Workshop Attendee
Ginny is a portrait photographer based in North Lancashire. Combining portraiture with the stunning natural backdrops of her local area, motivates her work. Prior to starting her photography business in 2015, she worked as an Occupational Therapist in mental health services. Finding out what holds meaning for the people she works with, is the thread that connects both careers. Ginny particularly loves photographing people involved in the arts, especially music. As a DJ, electronic music is another passion of hers and she is currently undertaking an interview / portrait project with people involved in the dance music scene in her local area. Ginny also enjoys running workshops and courses focusing on smartphone photography. She loves to promote the idea of using our phones for ‘creation rather than consumption’.
