Street Stories: Street Photography Masterclass

Develop your unique visual voice and learn hat to takes to create a series of photographs that could form the start of a project that could be made into a zine, entered into competitions, sold as prints, or become a photo book.

Awesome outcomes

Arrive on location prepared and inspired to shoot after a pre-masterclass workshop
Identify your strengths and weaknesses and master your mindset as a street photographer
Develop your unique way of seeing and capturing images on the street
Understand how to shoot a series of images versus single shots.
Gain a deeper understanding of editing (selecting) your own work through group "classroom" review sessions
Learn how to shoot with a series in mind, what makes it cohesive, and ways to sequence your photographs to create rhythm and flow
Leave the masterclass with a solid foundation for a personal project [your individual series theme does not have to be limited to the location we are shooting in, and what you learn during the masterclass will be applicable to any future project]
