Learn street photography with Cyrus and Marc

We’re not going to meet under a statue at Trafalgar square, herd you around the streets for a few hours and then send you home.

Participants should expect a solid day (from 10.00 am -5.00pm) of shooting, lectures, critiquing, discussing and breathing photography with Cyrus and Marc centered on Fleet Street London. Prior to the course you will be asked to send 3 of your best photographs in JPEG format to [email protected] so during the course we can (gently) give you feedback .

We will cover the following (and more):

• Critiquing your /our photographs
• Understanding your camera settings
• Understanding zone focusing
• Having the right mindset
• The importance of the subject
• How to isolate the subject
• The importance of light and darkness

• Why you should go to the movies
• The 3 things to ALWAYS remember before you press the shutter
• How to safely photograph strangers

“Thank you very much for the fantastic course on Sunday. I found the presentation to be very well structured and informed, with different topics covered that I wouldn’t have thought of…..The dynamic was also relaxed yet to the point which I liked. I’d never tried street photography before and one of the things I was nervous about was photographing strangers, and your advice put me at ease and I will definitely be going out to try more. I travel rather a lot with my work, so will be taking my camera with me more." - Ashby

“Thanks for the course on Saturday! Megan and I found it a really inspiring day and we learned a lot. We particularly appreciated your passion for street photography and, as a result, both feel motivated to rekindle our own creativity and interest in taking pictures” - Jamie & Megan
