portrait of Polly Rusyn

Hello I'm Polly

I'm a multi-award-winning street photographer, professional photographer, street photography teacher, and mindset coach.

I created the Department of Street Photography so that I could share my knowledge with other people! I have taught everyone from absolute beginners to professional wedding photographers who wanted to work on their candid photo skills and all levels of street photography students in between!

My mission is to spread the word about street photography and make what is already the most accessible form of photography even more accessible, available, and achievable.

Everything is learnable!
