3 hours Class size 1 to 5 guests    

  £90 - £115 (Earlybird price of £90 applies if you book into a public session 10+ days ahead) (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join this street photography workshop in Manchester and discover the city through fresh eyes during an immersive experience designed to help you capture real moments and the atmosphere of everyday life. Whether you're a complete beginner or already confident with a camera, you'll learn how to see more creatively, shoot with purpose, and come away with images you're proud of.
You'll join professional photographer Emmett Hunt for a relaxed, hands-on session exploring characterful streets. As you walk through locations full of texture, movement, and interesting light, you'll learn how to spot compelling scenes and turn ordinary moments into striking photographs. There's no need to worry about technical jargon; this is all about enjoying the process and finding your spark in the urban landscape.
During the workshop, you'll learn how to:
  • Use light, shadow, reflections, and weather to add mood to your images
  • Build stronger compositions that instantly grab attention
  • Capture authentic candid moments with confidence
  • Approach strangers respectfully for street portraits (optional)
  • Improve timing so you catch the perfect split-second moment
  • Use your camera or smartphone more effectively in real-world situations
  • Develop the mindset and awareness of a street photographer
You'll receive personal guidance throughout the session, with advice tailored to your level and equipment. Whether you shoot with a DSLR, mirrorless camera, compact camera, or smartphone, you'll be shown how to get the best from what you already own.
This isn't a classroom-style lesson. You'll learn by doing – shooting in real locations, reacting to real moments, and receiving practical feedback as you go. You'll gain confidence navigating public spaces with a camera and start noticing photo opportunities you may previously have walked past.
By the end of your experience, you'll have a stronger understanding of street photography, more confidence shooting in public, and a collection of one-of-a-kind images from your time in Manchester. You'll leave with a refreshed creative outlook, seeing the world as your own personal gallery and ready to continue your hobby with a revitalised perspective.
