A mobile phone can be a useful tool for creating clear and meaningful teaching visuals. This training was designed to introduce academic staff to practical photography techniques, including lighting, composition, framing, focus, camera settings, and basic editing. Its focus included ways to photograph demonstrations, document fieldwork, and prepare images for presentations and course materials. The programme also highlighted responsible photography, with attention to consent, privacy, and accurate representation. By building skills with readily available devices, the training aimed to help staff create useful visual resources and communicate academic work more effectively.
