We’ve all been there, feeling glum, blue, malaised, all because your Instagram is looking basic. Your photos from Machu Picchu look just like your friends’ photos from Machu Picchu. Now you could, say, not take photos from the same exact place, or you could up your photography game with a nice class at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. For two hours, professional fine art photographer Scott Bolendz will show you how to take better photos via anything from DSLR to smartphone, use different camera gear while traveling, and use image editing software to clean up what you can’t redo. A Q&A follows the presentation.


Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, 400 Ashely Dr., Cube 200, Tampa | July 10: 6 p.m. | $60; $50, members | Register here or get more info at Local
