Street Photography: Taking the Pulse of the City

The street photographer is often considered one of our best resources for defining the mood and culture of a city. This class addresses ways to make strong images that "take the pulse" of one. We discuss how to increase understanding of city life and public social behavior while practicing the art and craft of street photography. We also cover topics such as strategies to approach strangers, methods of overcoming shyness, and ways of controlling light and exposure in the street. Various on-location lighting situations as well as ways of posing and interacting with people are also considered.
