This seven-session class is intended to teach students how to shoot candidly on the street, not only from practical experience, but also from studying historic and contemporary street photographers. We will meet once a week, on Monday evenings for lecture and critique and the following week on Saturday afternoons for our shooting sessions.  (Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, there is one week where we will meet twice.)

Topics covered in class include: how to see light, how to find great backgrounds, the laws and ethics of shooting on the street, how to shoot candidly, how to capture the “decisive moment,” how to anticipate the future, when to or when not talk to someone, how to approach people, how to shoot from the hip, equipment choices, lens selection, the difference between seeing in black and white and seeing color, back & white conversion, how to tell a story with a single image and how to be brave but not brazen.

After the class ends, JDPW will host a slideshow party to show off the work from both Street Shooting I and II classes.
