The Art of Seeing - A Mini Street Photography Workshop

This talk is a lively blend of storytelling, creative inspiration, and hands-on practical advice. The aim is for everyone to leave not only with new ideas and techniques, but also with a renewed passion for hitting the streets and seeing the world around them through a more curious eye.

I’ll introduce different street themes and discuss what creates interest in a street photo, while sharing some of my most effective actionable tips to help you take your street photography to the next level, whether you're a beginner or more experienced shooter. I will also delve into the stories behind some of my favourite images (from Havana to Bangladesh), the moments that led up to them, the decisions I made in the moment, and how I managed to isolate the interest amongst the chaos.
