Exploring Street Photography
Rain Postponed from 4/26
Street photography is very popular now more than ever because photographers have access to high-quality cameras in mobile phones and smaller high-resolution digital cameras. A camera’s ease of access and proliferation raises the issues of ethics and privacy in public places and the difference between a snapshot and a street photograph.
This hands-on class will explore the unique aspects of the street photography genre. Michael Koren will be your guide as you create compelling photographs that go beyond the ordinary snapshot.
First, we'll gather on Zoom on a weekday evening a few days before the class and you’ll learn pro-level tips and techniques and discuss privacy issues associated with street photography. This will be recorded in case you can't make it.
Then we'll meet in person on 5/4 and with Michael’s guidance and direction, the group will photograph outdoors around the White House and Lafayette Park area.
You’ll create photographs that demonstrate your personal vision while using your own gear optimized for street photography.
Topics include:
- Proper techniques and settings for street photography
- Pro tips and techniques for capturing compelling images
- Create captivating images using anticipation, patience, composition, and visualization
- Hands-on image capture
- Privacy and ethics concerning street photography
- Image review and feedback
Recommended gear: A DSLR or mirrorless camera with manual exposure controls and lenses in the range of 28mm - 70mm. Smartphone’s are welcome too.
