“LOS ANGELES, MON AMOUR”
STREET PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
April 21-22 and 28 - 2012
“The street shooter goes through obstacles that no other photographer encounters. These walls are for the most part of his/her own making.”
A three days workshop on techniques and problem solving in the street photography approach.
Street photography is arguably one of the most demanding styles of photography. The photographer has to keep focus on seeing, as rapid technical adjustments of the camera are needed, environmental situations can cause obstacles, and at the same time he/she most times, needs to be inconspicuous in order not to disturb the unfolding scene. All this, as the photographer puts obstacles of his own making in the mix.
This workshop is intended for people who have medium to good technical knowledge of camera use and photography in general.
Cost for the workshop: $ 175.00 per person.
Minimum number of applicants: 6
