3-Day Street Photography Workshop

Workshop Description:

On this three-day workshop, you’ll be able to capture the areas that Sao Paulo is known for, along with some of the local photographers’ favorite spots, while challenging yourself to improve your photography in a variety of ways. I have developed a set of lessons and activities focused on helping you: 1. Learn how to see more interest and photos, and #2. How to turn that interest and what you see into an interesting photo. These two skills together are the most important in reaching your goals in photogaphy, and we will do this with a focus on finding your own photographic vision, not someone else’s.

This will be an intensive and highly involved workshop led by someone who’s photographed over 100 major cities across the world inside and out. Sao Paulo stays at the top of my list for street photography and I’ve spent countless hours exploring its endless streets of interest and character. With a 5 participant max on the workshop, you’ll be able to get the most out of our time together in Sao Paulo.

This will be an intensive, but highly enjoyable workshop experience that includes a mixture of daily photo walks, photo critiques, interactive lessons, editing sessions, activities and discussions. A major focus will be on photographic vision and seeing more. You’ll learn to see more photos when out shooting, how to put together what you see into the photo you want to make, improve your editing process and help find yourself in your photography. There will be a lot of walking and photography, with myself fully involved each step of the way to make sure you get the most out of your week. You will be able to fully immerse yourself into the city through street photography, so you can learn more, see more, photograph more and have a great time doing it.
