We are an established, UK-based street photography education business. On our full-day street photography workshop you will learn the art and the essential techniques of street photography – whether in London, other major UK cities or in European cities such as Venice, Lisbon, Paris, Rome or Prague. We don’t get too bogged down with technicalities (though we do cover the essential basics such as c
amera settings, focusing, exposure, etc); we prefer to make the most of our time together by focusing on five key areas:
1 Building your confidence as a street photographer, conquering your fear of shooting on the streets
2 Developing your powers of observation so that you ‘see’ the opportunity
3 Helping you understand the principles of light and composition in travel or street photography
4 Coaching you in the essential shooting techniques to ensure that you capture ‘the moment’
5 Enabling you to take stylish and meaningful images which go beyond the often-seen ‘stranger in a street’ picture
