Street Photography: Curiosity, Instinct, and Comfortable Shoes

The street is a rich and unpredictable canvas: at once synchronous and ever changing, it is full of inspiration. We photograph what we see, but we usually only understand what we were actually looking at after the fact. In this course, we tackle the question: What is street photography? As we delve into the genre, we examine work of the past, the present, and the personal. Students photograph in groups and individually, with specific assignments in mind, to define what street photography means to each of us.
