Create images worth keeping forever using the camera already in your pocket.
A focused 2.5-hour workshop designed for anyone who wants to take better photos with the phone they already carry. No camera gear required — just curiosity.
Learn to see and chase the light that makes great images — golden hour, open shade, window light, and beyond.
Anticipate and position yourself to capture moments before they happen rather than chasing them after.
Configure your camera app for maximum control — ProRes, manual focus lock, exposure compensation, and hidden gestures.
A repeatable system for capturing compelling images even in unfamiliar places with limited time.
A fast, consistent editing process in Photos and Lightroom Mobile that enhances rather than over-processes your images.
Understand what makes people stop scrolling — composition, story, and the moments worth sharing.
Core principles, light theory, and getting your iPhone configured for creative control.
70 minHead outside with instructor guidance — applying what you learned in real conditions.
50 minEdit your walk photos together using a clean, repeatable workflow you can take home.
45 minOpen conversation — share your images, ask anything, get personalized feedback.

Austin Mann is a professional photographer whose work has appeared in National Geographic, TIME, and CNN. He has collaborated with Apple on their iconic "Shot on iPhone" campaign and co-owns Maven Gallery — the same space where this workshop takes place.
Austin has spent years teaching photographers of all skill levels that the best camera is the one you have with you — and that the iPhone, used with intention, can produce world-class images. This workshop distills that philosophy into a single Saturday afternoon.
Whether you're documenting travels, family moments, or everyday beauty, you'll leave with a new eye and a practical system you can use immediately.

A small group. A beautiful gallery. An afternoon that will change how you see.
iPhone 15 or newer is recommended. Some features covered in the workshop (like ProRes video and advanced camera controls) are specific to recent models.
Absolutely. The workshop is designed for beginners through intermediate photographers. No prior photography knowledge is required — just a curiosity about making better images.
Yes — friends and partners are welcome to register separately. Just keep in mind the 12-person cap, so grab your spot before it fills.
Full refunds are available if you cancel at least 48 hours before the workshop. Cancellations within 48 hours are non-refundable, but we're happy to transfer your spot to a friend.
The small group size is intentional — it allows Austin to give individual attention and feedback during the photo walk and editing session. This isn't a lecture, it's a hands-on experience.
Maven Gallery is located at 3238 East Douglas Avenue, Wichita, KS 67208 — on the Delano side of Douglas Ave. Street parking is available nearby.
No. This is a private, unlisted workshop. Your images are your own — we won't post or share anything without your explicit permission.
A fully charged iPhone (15 or newer) and something to take notes with. We'll handle the rest — just show up ready to see differently.
