By leveraging on the availability of technology in current devices, this project aims to teach photography to the masses in a simple and intuitive manner. The project is based on an earlier system, the Remote Camera Control system, which allows a user to remotely control a digital camera using a mobile device with the help of a Raspberry Pi ultra-portable computer.

Through the course of this project, the issues with the Remote Camera Control system are resolved and an Android application for instructor to control the camera using an Android tablet is implemented. Furthermore, a web browser user interface allows the students to learn by viewing the camera settings as well as the captured and live view images from the camera using their mobile devices. By doing so, the objectives of this project can be achieved.
