Street Photography Workshop

in English

Street Photography is, of all the photographic disciplines, one of the most comprehensive and useful to develop the ability to interpret situations in a less superficial way and to develop a deeper cultural sensitivity.

Practice will help you to recognize situations and details that can make a great shot. It will also help you to develop social skills and the ability to interact with strangers.

Street Photography is an attitude, it is an openness to being amazed by what you will discover every time you take a walk with your camera. With practice and some hard work you will learn to notice the extraordinary and beautiful narratives that are occurring in front of you everyday.

You will learn to create relationships within the frame that may not exist in reality, creating enigmatic, poetic and surreal photographs.
