Street Photography Workshop

Unveil the hidden stories of city life through the lens of your camera.



2 hours Class size 1 to 6 guests     £55
The essential attribute of street photography is chance – and that’s likely why we’re so drawn to it. Unlike documentary photographers, who wish to tell an overarching story of the subjects and places they capture, often for news publications, street photographers take photographs of fleeting moments that may exist outside of a greater narrative. Often, they are only meaningful for the single moment they capture.
The whole point of street photography is to capture happenstance – unplanned moments in public space. Often this involves humans (sometimes doing funny things, like tripping or making strange expressions), but sometimes street photography just captures the photographer’s surroundings. Although it can be similar to architectural photography, it doesn’t have to focus on the structures in front of a lens. Instead, the focus of a street photograph is the composition of random objects coming together in a photographer’s frame. The talented street photographer captures these chance happenings in a meaningful and engaging way.
In this workshop, we'll delve into the art of storytelling through imagery. You'll learn how to craft compelling narratives within a single frame, using elements of composition, colour, and perspective to evoke mood and evoke emotion. Whether you're drawn to the vibrant energy of street markets or the quiet poetry of urban decay, you'll uncover your unique photographic voice and develop a signature style that speaks volumes.
