Cyn Lagos, a visual storyteller, graphic designer, and street photographer, uses her work to capture the diverse culture and breathtaking beauty of cities. In this Skillshare Live, recorded on Zoom and featuring contributions from the Skillshare community, Cyn will show you how to look at your surroundings with fresh eyes, and how to use your camera to capture what’s unique and gorgeous about your own hometown.

In this wide-ranging, fun, and deeply informative class, students begin by learning to find inspiration in architecture. Cyn will break down how the shapes and geometry in the buildings you see every day can be a key piece of capturing their beauty! She’ll teach you about composition, and show you the best ways to compose a photograph when your subjects can’t be moved or directed. Did you know that the angle of your shot, the light and shadows, and even the time of day can hugely change your final photograph? Well, Cyn knows, and she’ll teach you her tips and tricks for capturing that perfect image. Finally, she’ll show you how she uses Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to bring out the best in her work by doing a live edit with their mobile software. If you have Lightroom, you’ll get a lot from following along with her, but if not, don’t worry! The wealth of knowledge Cyn shares in this class will be helpful for any photographer, from beginners to seasoned professionals.
