Designed for the ladies who are interested in trying out a few different street photography techniques. This is not a technical workshop or about how to operate your camera; it’s about the ‘art’ of street photography and being comfortable creating great images with your camera, using either manual or auto settings.

As well as learning great new street photography techniques and creative approaches, you will discover how to produce stylish and distinctive images which reflect your style.

With a minimum of one and maximum of six, we start the day with coffee before heading out to see what we find; looking for great subject matter in the people at work or play, the shops and on the streets.

On this Social Photography Adventure we head to La Cigale Market, Viaduct and Wynward Quarter, go behind the scenes into the kitchen of a restaurant to capture amazing photographs of chefs in action, plus many more exciting behind the scene and other amazing photographic opportunities.

What you will learn:
- Develop a street photographer’s ‘eye’ and learn how to spot a photo opportunity in an every day street scene
- Appreciate the aesthetics of street photography
- Understand the importance of developing your own style as a street photographer and how to conceive and undertake ‘projects’
- Understand the components of a great street image
- Practice different types of street photography and discover your preferred style of shooting
- Conquer your fear of photographing strangers
