Street Photography

Saturday 29 April
The Battery - 10am - 2 Hours
Charleston Photography Group
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. 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.

    April did a wonderful job of sharing the creative options for this type of photography. She was extremely patient with those of us who struggled with our camera settings. Despite that she also helped with what settings to use in different shooting conditions. We were lucky to have a small class so she could give us individual instruction. I do feel I have a renewed interest in my photography which was a goal of mine. She helped trigger any creative spark that's been asleep for a few years!

    I enjoyed spending the morning with April. Despite the uncooperative weather, she kept it light and collaborative. She gave me some good coach points and offered her perspective on things.
