“As an introduction it was excellent. Simon is an enthusiastic, inspiring presenter and I really enjoyed the session”

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.

The session is an interactive conversation challenging the attendees perceptions and ideas of what street photography is and can be.

What will be covered

• What is Street Photography?
• What the rebels who helped shape it had to say
• Game changing tips
• 3 x Capture methodologies
• 7 x Styles of Street Photography
• Benefits of shooting Street Photography
• Easiest way to get started
• Next steps

 

Recommended prior knowledge

This workshop welcomes photographers of all abilities and with cameras from iPhones, mirrorless to DSLRs.
