Digital storytelling today...
More photos and videos are taken by smartphones and tablets now than by all the world’s traditional cameras combined – after all, the best camera is the one you have with you right? Known collectively as 'iPhoneography', this is a new field of often quick and dirty snaps that when combined with the amazing range of editing options provided by apps has seen a new stye of mobile storytelling to emerge.
Workshops in mobile imaging are available from JNXYZ.Education that will help you make #Infopics or take your quick snaps and videos to new levels by showing you a series of simple creative steps you can take using free apps. While this is an incredibly pleasurable process in itself – you might also just end up with photo and video editing skills that can benefit your school, college, uni, business or blog as well.
