Portrait of Bola

Course(s): Smartphone Photography

Bola took the course so that she could use a smartphone to take pictures and leave a legacy for her family.

Bola tells us her story:

I am 85yrs old and Retired. I attend the Elderly Community Group organised by the Seniors in Touch in partnership with Peabody to socialise and interact with other Seniors and learn from whatever courses are available.

I was privileged to attend the Smartphone Photography Course. I found the course most interesting and inspiring. It taught me all about the different components of my camera and how to use the camera in providing useful images that tell a story. Learning to edit also help me in producing pictures that can be left as a legacy for my children and grandchildren. I am glad I can now provide images that look like professional photos.
