Street Photography Course Overview:

Street Photography, once the reserve of those who could afford the most expensive cameras, is being taken over by the young and inexperienced. What their photos, often shot on the streets, may lack in drama, they more than makeup for in authenticity. Their subjects are real and often unaware that they’ve been photographed, which is a fascinating change from artificial pictures packed with fake smiles.

This Street Photography Course will teach you everything you could want to know on gaining confidence and overcoming your fear of shooting in the streets. If you’re just starting out in street photography and eager to learn more, learning the essential techniques needed to take stunning pictures will prove to be highly useful. This includes learning about the basic camera settings, editing and post-processing.

You will learn how to look past the poor lighting or issues such as lens flares, which you may have assumed would spoil your pictures, and how to take advantage of these situations to create more interesting photos. Social media is also key to street photography, and you will better understand how to promote your work through it.

Through five intensive modules covering everything from equipment recommendations to sharing your work, you will learn how to become a brave street photographer.
