Master Street Photography – A Beginners Guide to Capturing Candid Moments

Develop Your Eye for Everyday Street Scenes – Central London
This mini-workshop is all about observing and capturing the fleeting moments and unpredictability of people on the streets. You will learn how to anticipate, spot, and photograph fleeting moments. These unscripted interactions are the heart of street photography. Having shot the streets for 16 years, I know what makes a moment compelling. The challenge—and the skill—is seeing what others don’t. Through practical, creative challenges I give during the session, you’ll start training your eye to notice gestures, expressions, and interactions that often go unnoticed, helping you capture candid, real-life stories as they unfold. By the end of this workshop, you’ll begin to see and photograph these fleeting moments and interactions that can make street photography compelling, and you’ll understand how, with practice, your eye will start spotting these moments instinctively.
