About this event

Learn how to effortlessly take better pictures with ANY type of smartphone.

We'll start with a few test shots to warm up, and then I'll show you some cool techniques that will turn your everyday snaps into something special. Forget about boring, cliché photos—let's create images you'll be excited to share.

You'll learn how to quickly find interesting ideas for your shots, experiment with creative angles, and build compositions that really stand out. I'll teach you how to capture moving subjects without a blur and play with light and shadows to add a professional touch to your photos. Plus, we'll dive into portrait photography, and by the end of our session, you'll have a fantastic new profile picture for your social media.

As we wander and get creative, you'll get real-time feedback and hands-on practice. By the end of our walk, you'll feel inspired and confident, ready to make your travel photos and everyday pics shine.

Danylo Torbovskyi

Hi, I'm your host, Danylo.

I am a self-taught smartphone photographer who finds joy in adding a twist to the ordinary.

If you’d look into my camera roll, you’ll find a myriad of takes on intriguing urban gems, inspiring places, and humans I was fortunate to meet along the way.

And I've been drawn to the power of photography to tell stories from the days of flip phones with buttons (remember those?). This passion for visual storytelling has been recognized by the prestigious International Photography Awards (IPA), iPhone Photography Awards, and Minimalist Photography Awards.

I've also had the privilege of working for renowned companies like Meta, Publicis, and Havas, where I've helped brainstorm creative ideas and bring them to life.

But what truly excites me is the opportunity to connect people through shared experiences.

For years, I've led the most-reviewed photography workshop on Airbnb Experiences in Berlin, Germany. And since 2020, I’m bringing teams from around the world together online to collaborate, learn, and create through my inspiring mobile photography workshops.

So if you're looking to foster a spirit of creativity within your team, I invite you to explore my offerings.

Let's get your team clicking!
