On the Street: From Imaging to Editing

This introduction to the language and dynamics of street photography helps each student to develop a distinct personal vision. The workshop also addresses the photographer's Achilles' heel: editing one's own photographs. We will explore the many aspects of assembling a coherent and consistent group of images, and analyze several important photographs and photographic books, pinpointing their distinctive features. Students will make new work each day based on a specific theme chosen at the beginning of the workshop. Then, we will look at the images and carefully select the most effective ones. By the end of the workshop, students will have a sharpened awareness of what it takes to create and edit a personal project that is connected to their heart and soul.
