Street Photography

Saturday 22 March
West Springfield - 9am - 2 Hours

Thomas Young
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.

Mastering Street Scenes Like Vivian Maier

Mastering Street Scenes Like Vivian Maier

Saturday 12 April
West Springfield - 9am - 2 Hours
Springfield Photography Group
Thomas Young
A master of street photography, Vivian Maier's work unfortunately went unrecognized during her lifetime. She often shot at waist height because of her use of a Rolleiflex with a top down viewfinder. During this class we will practice taking creative selfies and decisive moments at waist height, as well as discuss Vivian Maier's work in detail in order to learn how a prominent street photographer viewed the world through her lens.
