Photo Class: Exploring Street Photography

This hands-on class will explore the unique aspects of the street photography genre. Michael Koren will be your guide as you create compelling photographs that go beyond the ordinary snapshot.

Street photography is very popular now more than ever because photographers have access to high-quality cameras in mobile phones and smaller high-resolution digital cameras. A camera’s ease of access and proliferation raises the issues of ethics and privacy in public places and the difference between a snapshot and a street photograph.

The group will photograph outdoors around the White House and Lafayette Park area where you’ll create photographs that demonstrate your personal vision while using your own gear optimized for street photography.

Topics include:

Proper techniques and settings for street photography
Pro tips and techniques for capturing compelling images

Create captivating images using anticipation, patience, composition, and visualization

Hands-on image capture

Privacy and ethics concerning street photography
Image review and feedback

Prior to the class participants will be sent the link to a recording that Michael has prepared providing tips and proven techniques for street photography.

Recommended gear: A DSLR or mirrorless camera with manual exposure controls and lenses in the range of 28mm - 70mm. Smartphone’s are welcome too.
