Photographing Love and Intimacy on the Street

Have you ever wanted to deepen your practice of documenting love and intimacy in public settings? This course examines public displays of affection in street photography. Following a brief survey of contemporary photographers, we cover topics such as intimacy, the role of consent and anonymity, approaching strangers, and more. We then turn to the streets of New York to capture intimate moments in key public settings, such as Washington Square Park, Central Park, Midtown, and Coney Island, where we implement the various approaches we’ve learned. A final critique concludes the course.
