iPhone Photography Masterclass: The Art with Jack Hollingsworth

This seminar is for CreativeLive subscribers only. Not subscribed? Start here!

This session focuses on composition—the design choices and visual decisions that determine what a viewer sees and feels in a photograph. Students learn how to shape a scene, control where attention goes, and create meaning through framing, balance, and visual hierarchy.

The goal is to move beyond simply capturing what’s in front of you and toward building images with intention, where every element in the frame is there for a reason. By understanding composition as a system of deliberate choices, you’ll be able to create iPhone photos that feel more purposeful, compelling, and emotionally effective.

This class includes a dedicated 30 minutes of Q&A with Jack Hollingsworth.
