Street Photography: An In-Depth and Complete Guide
Find and refine your own unique artistic voice in street photography. Increase your confidence in the craft.
Description
This in-depth street photography course is designed to teach you EVERYTHING you need to know about the craft.
It’s my intention to help you find and refine your own unique artistic voice through the art of street photography and pass on all of the knowledge and experience that I’ve acquired so that you feel inspired and confident enough to consistently create powerful, meaningful, interesting street photographs.
The course is broken up into 9 chapters, which is broken up into even smaller sub-chapters along the way, so that you can tick off each lesson as you go.
The 9 overall chapters are:
Introduction and definition
Philosophies, practices and examples of great street photographs
Tactics, tips and settings on the street
Gear
Styles and approaches
Problems and common things you'll encounter on the street
Inspiration
Post-production (editing, printing and book making)
The future of street photography
There is no comprehensive film school or art school type of experience that teaches ‘Street Photography’ yet, and although there are lots of types of online content about the genre, personally none of my experiences with that stuff so far have offered a COMPLETE overview of every single thing you might need or want to know as you’re delving further and further into the craft.
Usually, it’s more-so just pockets of information that you’e digging up, bit by bit. So I wanted to consolidate all of that information and knowledge and put it in one place, in a structured, informative, exciting way for you to watch and enjoy. It’s everything you need to know, distilled down into the key takeaways and delivered in a way that is designed to inspire you and take you to that place where you’re making your best work.
So, if you want to fast-track your learning journey, dial up your confidence in the craft, and start making the work you know you can make - then let’s do it.
By the end of this course you will be able to show yourself and the world HOW YOU SEE the world. You will be well and truly on your way to finding and expressing your own unique artistic voice - you will be so inspired and excited by street photography that you will be bursting at the seams to get out there and explore the world with your camera, and start capturing timeless moments.
