Street Photography Taster – Simon Ellingworth

Limited to 10 places – 2 hour interactive zoom session – Book early to guarantee a place.

 

In a genre where sharpness is a bourgeois concept and cropping someone’s head off adds a sense of tension, it’s fair to say that Street photography is much misunderstood. Especially when you realise street photography doesn’t even need to be taken in, on, or even near a street!

It’s no wonder our evangelical street photography expert is keen to share passion for this exciting and addictive genre with it’s the freedom to be creative, artistic and, or express yourself.

Join Simon, our 17 x International award winning photography educator for a light hearted, fun, informative and inspiring look at this playground genre and some of the rebels who’ve shaped it.
