Join Michael Koren for a Street Photography Workshop in Philadelphia, “The Birthplace of America.” Explore and photograph the vibrant streets where Benjamin Franklin and Betsy Ross walked.
We will concentrate on street photography in the heart of the city seeing many famous sites along the way. Frame serendipitous moments among the hustle and bustle of this historic area.
We’ll capture scenes in the historic cradle of America including Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House and Elfreth’s Alley and more. Additionally, we’ll stroll through the working-class neighborhoods through Little Italy where any number of scenes will present themselves.
Skill level: Participants should be familiar with their cameras and have some basic knowledge of the exposure controls; ISO, Aperture and Shutter speeds.
Equipment recommendations: DSLR or Mirrorless with interchangeable lenses from 16 to 200mm (wider and longer is fine if you have that). Tripods, filters, and flash are not recommended.
Fitness: We will be walking several miles per day on city streets.
What’s included: Pre-workshop preparation meeting via Zoom on a weekday evening (it will be recorded in case you can't make it). In-the-field instruction and a post workshop image review session via Zoom.
What’s not included: Accommodations and meals are not included nor is getting to and from Philadelphia. You might consider taking the train, Amtrak offers several trips from DC to Philly each day. Hotel recommendations are in the confirmation email.
Dates: The Workshop begins on Friday, May 16 at 5pm and concludes on Sunday, May 18 at 10am after our morning shoot. There will be an introduction and orientation session on a weeknight evening prior to the workshop via Zoom.
