Street Photography Workshop: Still-Life on the Streets

Capture everyday urban scenes as still-life photographs at this photography class in West London.



3 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests       £75 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join this street photography workshop in West London and capture the city from an entirely new perspective. You'll go beyond the typical wide-angle shots and candid portraits to focus on the quiet, often overlooked details that give a street its character. Whether it's a weathered park bench, a vibrant shop-window display, or a brightly coloured door, you'll learn how to turn these everyday scenes into striking photographic subjects.
This session is perfect for beginners looking for a gentle, structured introduction to the craft, as well as more experienced photographers who want to slow down and practice intentional composition. You'll benefit from shared insights and hands-on guidance as you explore the urban landscape together.
During the class, you'll learn how to:
  • Spot and select compelling subjects – Find the hidden gems in plain sight.
  • Master core framing and composition rules – Use the rule of thirds, leading lines, and negative space to create balance.
  • Approach your shots creatively – Discover when to get close, when to step back, and how to use focal length to tell a story.
  • Create narrative focal points – Turn simple details like a rusted bike or an old sign into the star of your photo.
  • Refine your practical workflow – Pick up quick camera-setting checks, exposure tricks for tricky lighting, and tips for reviewing your work.
By the end of the walk, you'll have a fresh set of skills and a collection of unique images that showcase your personal vision. It's an eye-opening experience that ensures you'll never look at a simple street corner the same way again, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for the art of observation.

I’m Kevin an Urban Photographer
My photography spans several disciplines, all united by a common thread: the urban and built environment.
I create portraits of people within these dynamic spaces because I believe the environment tells a deeper story about the individual—one that a studio setting often cannot capture.
In addition to photographing people, I extend the art of portraiture to buildings and objects, highlighting their character and connection to the urban landscape.
I gained my teaching experience as a technician at the RCA, and I’m currently a visiting lecturer at both UAL and the RCA.
