Street Photography
Saturday 21 September
Costa Coffee in Maidenhead - 10am - 2 Hours
Sean Wright
Lined up with the timing of Maidenhead's market, this will give an opportunity to capture People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more.
We will be exploring how two key factors of being behind the camera will make your images more powerful: The power of observation, and the art of patience.
Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.
We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.
