Capture candid moments with expert guidance, improving your composition and storytelling skills. Perfect for beginners and intermediates seeking creative urban photography techniques.
Mastering candid urban street photography requires specialised skills. Natural light, shadows, and patience produce rewarding yet challenging images. Learning from a pro can elevate your street photography.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
This workshop will teach you how to capture candid moments in public spaces. Street photography thrives on spontaneity and unpredictability. Designed for beginners and intermediate photographers, these interactive sessions provide personal feedback, helping you build confidence to shoot on the streets. The focus is on observation and quick reactions, essential skills for street photography.
TELL ME MORE
Two key mantras of street photography: composition matters, and storytelling is everything. There’s much more to this art than simply pressing the shutter. Richard Oughton, a seasoned photographer who teaches digital photography at Blackpool and The Fylde College, will guide you through the process. You’re in experienced hands.
Make sure to bring a camera to the workshop—charge your battery and ensure the SD card is in place. If you have a lens, a 28mm to 50mm range is ideal. It needs to be fast, sharp, and discreet—just like Richard, whose own work captures dynamic and atmospheric moments, whether on the dancefloor or in the city.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a unique collection of images and a deeper understanding of the creative potential to be discovered on the street.
