Street Photography Workshop & Walk - Seattle Waterfront & Downtown

Street photography, a genre that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge.

This is an introductory to intermediate class on the genre known as street photography.  It will begin with basic definitions and explore variations based on the work of several current and historic practitioners, discuss common issues and difficulties and offer tips on how to overcome them. It will briefly review gear options offer tips and strategies for working an area or scene. We will discuss some legal and constitutional issues related to photographing in public places.  Class materials will include handouts and lists of resources for further self-study.

The workshop is designed for photographers who have a basic understanding of their camera and the exposure triangle. We will also be outside for the entire workshop - ok, we might pop into Starbucks for a coffee and more chatting.

We will meet at 8 am on Pier  59/60 (in front of the Seattle Aquarium).
