**Take Creative Control of Your Photos with Manual Settings (Beginner Guide)** This beginner-friendly street photography workshop focuses on understanding and controlling your camera settings so you can stop relying on automatic modes and start making deliberate photographer decisions like a pro instead of guessing. The session begins with a short cafe pre-brief where we talk about your camera's primary settings: **aperture**, **shutter speed**, **ISO** in creative ways, using **Manual Mode** and **Priority Mode** Settings. We then head out onto the street and work through beginner-friendly creative tasks designed to help you put into practice these three key settings to capture photos as we walk and pause at scenes of interest to compose photos. You’ll be actively shooting throughout, learning how to react to changing scenes, adjust your camera, and understand what settings actually do and adapt in the moment. I will be on hand, helping you individually through the session. We will explore around the St Paul's, Paternoster Square and Southbank areas. *** **What You Will Learn** **How to Use the Exposure Triangle:** Understand aperture, shutter speed, and ISO and how they work together in street photography situations. **Controlling Motion:** Learn when to freeze action and when to introduce motion blur for creative effect or storytelling. **Depth and Separation:** Use aperture to control background blur (bokeh) and isolate people and subjects from background. **Camera Adjustments:** Learn how to change your settings efficiently when in the moment. **Shooting with Intent:** Build confidence to move away from full automatic modes and start making deliberate creative decisions using manual control settings. *** **What to Bring** * **Camera Kit:** Any camera (mirrorless or DSLR). A standard zoom or prime lens is ideal or your smartphone if you prefer. * **Essentials:** Fully charged batteries and empty memory card. * **Comfort:** Weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes. *** **Event Info** * **Duration:** 2.5 hours * **Group Size:** Max 5 * **Meeting Location:** St. Paul's, London (exact location will be sent to attendees) *** **PAYMENT OPTIONS** * RSVP via Meetup (standard fee applies) * Or send £25 via PayPal to **street@lindawisdomphotography.com** — no extra fee * Message me to confirm your spot & I will add you to attendee list. \*\*\* **Bonus for Members** * **FREE DOWNLOAD –** **Master Your Camera Settings Street Photography** Tip Sheet covering the key topics from this event. You will receive a download link to follow along during the session. * **FACEBOOK COMMUNITY GROUP:** A private group for Meetup members to showcase their best work, receive critique, advice, and tips.

Following a carefully curated route along the Thames—starting at the Tate Modern—you’ll explore and photograph a diverse range of architectural styles, from Brutalist to Modern, as well as structures serving different functions, including buildings and bridges. Guided by your tutor Kevin Koekkoek, you’ll complete engaging photography tasks and receive constructive feedback to refine your technique. **Workshop Instructor** Kevin has been developing his career in photography with a focus on urban and environmental portraits, as well as abstract photography for print. In addition to his personal work, he organizes street photography walks and teaches at UAL and the RCA. **What You Will Learn** Scouting a Building – How to approach and analyse architectural subjects. Explore Composition – Utilize leading lines, framing, and perspective for dynamic and engaging images. Working with Available Light – Understanding light conditions and how to adapt to them. Optimal Camera Settings – Essential settings for architectural photography. **Location** This workshop takes place along the Thames, beginning at the Tate Modern, and follows a thoughtfully designed route showcasing notable architectural landmarks. You’ll have the opportunity to photograph a variety of architectural styles—including Brutalist and Modern—as well as structures with different functions, such as buildings and bridges. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced photographer, this workshop will help you develop your eye for architecture and enhance your technical skills—all while exploring London’s rich architectural landscape. **Cost** The cost of this workshop is £75, plus Meetup fees. Refundable when the event is cancelled by the Organiser. **Meeting Point** Kevin will be in a Cafe (Leon) near the Tate Modern from 945.

If you are just starting out and only have a mobile phone, you are welcome to join.

**Enhance Your Compositions With Fine Art Photography** This is a fine art street photography workshop, covering enhancing composition skills, visualising a scene before it happens and being more creative as a photographer. We will use architecture, interiors, light, lines, frames or shapes as your urban canvas to compose people in a creative way. The objective: Don’t look for people, look for scenes first! Then wait for the 'right' person to make that scene complete. This street photography technique is called 'fishing'. The focus of this session is learning how to see and build strong compositions using what’s already there rather rather than trying to 'hunt' interesting characters and candid one off moments. We will do silhouetting, leading lines, sub framing, reflections and much more, and how to use the best available light. I'll give you composition tips before and throughout the session, along with visual challenges as you shoot. We will have some stop off points where I show photos taken at that scene on my iPad for inspiration. This is where I will share my approach and my vision on how I work a scene. This is a slower, more relaxed way of working — you’re not rushing to catch a candid moment or worrying about being seen by your target subjects, but learning how to recognise when a scene already has potential and how to refine it through framing, positioning, timing and patience. Instead of focusing on individuals, the emphasis is on building strong framed scenes and allowing people to naturally become part of the composition. We will explore areas around the Square Mile (City of London), including Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Bank, St. Paul’s. \*\* **What You Will Learn** * **Seeing Strong Compositions:** Learn how to identify balanced scenes, leading lines, layers, and natural frames in the street. * **Framing a Subject:** Understand how to place people within the environment to create stronger visual impact. * **Using the Environment:** Work with backgrounds, architecture, and street elements to structure your images. * **Simplifying a Scene:** Learn how to remove distractions and focus on what matters in the frame. * **Patience in Practice:** Learn how to wait for elements to align within a composition. *** **What to Bring** * **Camera Kit:** Any camera can be used for the workshop (DSLR, mirrorless, film and phone). Best lens is wide like a 23mm, 35mm prime sensor, or a zoom like a 18-55mm (crop sensor), 23mm- 70mm f (full frame). No tripod is needed. **Quick tip:** Set your camera to black & white (B&W) / monochrome LCD preview if you know how. Helpful, not essential. *** **Event Info** * **Duration:** 3 hours * **Group Size:** Max 5 * **Meeting Location:** Liverpool Street, exact spot provided after booking *** **PAYMENT OPTIONS** * RSVP via Meetup (standard fee applies) * Or send £25 via PayPal to **street@lindawisdomphotography.com** — no extra fee * Message me to confirm your spot & I will add you to attendee list. \*\*\* **Bonus for Members** * **FREE DOWNLOAD – Master Composition & Framing: Beginner Tip Sheet:** Covering the key topics from this session. * **FACEBOOK COMMUNITY GROUP:** Private group for Meetup members to showcase their work, receive critique, advice, and tips.
