    Friday Evening:

    5:30 pm The group will gather for a presentation during which we will be discussing the different ways to approach street photography. We will go over the ethical aspect of this popular genre of photography, the do's & don'ts and how to get over the fear of photographing strangers in the streets. From candid shots to street portraits, we will look at different techniques to tell a story in a frame.

    7:30 pm Following the presentation, we will walk to my favorite restaurant nearby for a welcome dinner among new friends who share the same passion for photography.

    Saturday:

    10:00 am - 4:30 pm

    We will meet for a photo walk to practice newly learned techniques.

    Sunday:

    9:30 am - 1:30 pm: The morning will start with a photo walk.

    1:30 - 4:30 pm: The workshop will end in the classroom on Sunday afternoon with some post processing and a critique session.Everything you learn over the weekend will be easy to apply on any photo walk back home or during your travels. You will leave the workshop with a renewed vision and confidence as well as new friends who share the same passion for street photography. 

    Note: A full schedule and location details will be sent out to participants a few weeks before the workshop. Also, a private FB group page will be set up for the participants of this workshop. This will be a great opportunity for everyone to share ideas regarding accommodations, etc.

    Cost: The cost to attend the workshop is $650 (US dollars), payment can be made securely with the credit card of your choice via Paypal at check out below. Currency conversions are made automatically. Meals, drinks and accommodations are not included in the cost except for the Friday night dinner (drinks will be paid by the participants).

    Gear: I encourage participants to shoot with gear that they are very familiar with. Comfort is also important as we will be walking for a few hours. It is strongly encouraged to bring a laptop computer or a tablet for the Sunday afternoon critique session (you do not need your computer on Saturday morning, just something to take notes with if you are so inclined, whatever you bring with you on Saturday morning will have to stay with you during the photo walk.) You can use the processing software you are most familiar with. Please note that I will not be teaching how to use a processing software during this workshop and you need to know how to use the software of your choice ahead of time.

    The workshops are limited to 10 participants and fill up several months in advance. I recommend that you secure your spot early.
