Description

This program is designed for those who have completed Level 2 where we learn from a different street photography past master each session, but now we are coming up to date with a range of contemporary world class photographers.

In this inspiring workshop, we will look at the work of 7 influential masters of street photography. For each of the 7 masters, Simon Ellingworth will explain their strengths, and you’ll be set tasks to discover which elements of their work, philosophy, and artists intent, personally resonated with you as an artist.

You’ll have 2 weeks to produce a small body of work to explore with constructive, insightful, and personlised feedback on each project from our lead street photography educator Simon Ellingworth.

Recommended prior knowledge

This program has been specifically designed for photographers who have already completed our Compelling Street Photography workshop or Artist Development Level 1 or Artist Development Level 2workshop.

Course Outline

The 2 hour sessions will be delivered every other week, consisting of an image review from the previous session (3 images per participant), followed by the next project brief and educational framework to equip you with the skills to execute it.
