Into the World of Street Photography: Eye, Courage, and Presence
Street photography is not about the gear or the talent — it is about hard work, patience, and the courage to be present.
A hands-on foundation in the most human genre of all: the decisive moment and the art of seeing, the courage to photograph strangers, minimal gear and muscle memory, the master settings of shutter and ISO, and the zone-focusing craft that keeps candid pictures sharp.
Course Overview
This is a foundational course for any photographer who wants to learn the most demanding and the most human genre of them all: photographing real life, unposed, as it happens.
