Street Photography

Saturday 01 April

Colonia Park - 10am - 2 Hours

People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you. We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

This workshop is great for beginners and even if you are a little more advanced. Mike took the time to fully explain all of the features of my camera. I often wondered 201cwhat does this button do 201d. Now I know these little thing can make better photos. I had no idea what my camera was capable of. Thank you Mike.

Mike was just wonderful! Super knowledgeable but explained everything in easily understood terminology. Covered most of the basics and helped us to identify features on our own cameras. Highly recommend!
