Learn to capture stunning photos with the powerful camera you carry everywhere! In this workshop, you’ll go beyond the basics and unlock the full potential of your smartphone’s camera.

Perfect for beginners and content creators alike.
Gretchen Yost took up photography at the age of 9 when her 4th grade social studies teacher converted his supply closet to a darkroom and taught the class how to make shoebox pinhole cameras. Watching images appear from blank paper, under the red glow of a darkroom, was like magic to her and she’s never looked back. This Pinedale resident is now a professional photographer, capturing everything from families to weddings to birth to landscapes and architecture. She approaches photography with the eye of an artist, the ethics of a photojournalist, and the heart of a mother. Gretchen’s work has won numerous international awards and been featured in exhibitions both locally and internationally. She sees beauty in everyday life and can’t wait to teach locals some of the skills she’s learned after 36 years of photography.
