If you find yourself spending more time taking pictures of your food than actually eating it, but still never managing to capture the perfect shot, you might want to make your way to the Apple store.

As part of “Today at Apple”, the nation’s three Apple stores – Mall of the Emirates, The Dubai Mall and Yas Mall – will be holding free workshops and talks from Wednesday, May 17 until the end of the month.

In an attempt help you navigate through the wide range of categories (there’s music, coding, art and design and much, much more) on offer. Here’s our ShortList of classes…

1. How To: Shoot photos on iPhone
The Apple team will show you how to take stunning pictures using only your iPhone (you know, like the ones you see on all the billboards down Sheikh Zayed Road). All you need to do is bring your iPhone and pay attention (your food snaps are depending on it) as they teach you to capture the perfect indoor and outdoor shot.

2. How To: Edit Photos on iPhone
To help you make your photos look their best, Apple will be exploring some key elements of photo editing using the Photos app for quick fixes or fine adjustments. All you need to do is bring your iPhone and follow the instructions (we’d take notes too). Once you’ve edited your snap, the Apple team will also show you different ways that you can share the photo.
