Street Photography

Some of the greatest photographers in history, from Henri Cartier-Bresson to Vivian Maier to Saul Leiter, spent much of their time documenting everyday life in the streets and public spaces of the world. In this course, you’ll learn techniques for creating impactful street photographs and discuss the history, ethics and legal issues of the genre. After a morning overview, we’ll venture onto the street so you can try this exciting and challenging style of photography for yourself. We’ll cover strategies, the best cameras and lenses for making these photographs, and help you set appropriate expectations for your efforts.
What you should bring: A camera (film or digital) and a wide angle to normal lens. Zoom lenses in that range will work as well.

Instructor - Steve Daubs

Steve’s passion for photography was born in the streets of Chicago followed by late nights in the darkroom in his college years at Northwestern University. Since then, he’s worked as a photojournalist, travel photographer, and, for the past 10 years, as a wedding and portrait photographer in Florida and Wisconsin. With more than a decade of experience teaching, he loves demystifying photographic concepts and helping people understand not only how to do something but why it matters.
