Through this workshop with Hamed Tabein, participants will embark on a journey of discovery, using their smartphones as tools to capture moments, tell stories, and create meaningful artworks. Participants will embark on a photo walk through Riverdale Park, followed by an editing and experimentation period where we will look at filters, cropping, and other editing tools.
