Compelling Street Photography - Ingredients for Success

NEW - Fully Booked - next date starts 21 March.

Limited to 10 places.

This 6 week zoom based interactive workshop with assignments will teach you various concepts to help you craft sophisticated and compelling images that demand your viewers / judges attention.

To be a brilliant photographer, it's important to take time out to understand what 'brilliant' physically looks like.

Many RPS members will have already attended Simon Ellingworth's infectiously enthusiastic zoom workshops on either Creative Composition, concepts such as 'Moment, Composition, Light', Natural light portraiture, or his popular FujiFilm Magic in camera processing techniques. In this deeper dive, Simon; who's won over 9 International Awards; will share his secrets amassed over years with you in practical and executable steps that you can build into your own photography.

Is this for me?

This workshop has been designed to be suitable for all photographers from beginners to experts as instead of looking at your own personal work, the weekly image assignments will importantly expose you to, and require you to find the very best and strongest examples of concepts and techniques from leading street photographers around the world.
(resources will be provided)

Additionally, each week Simon will set an optional practical exercise to re enforce that weeks learning.

Format:

This is a practical and hands-on zoom based remote learning workshop that will be split into 6 x weekly sessions on Monday evenings from 6:30pm to 8pm.

Each week you will be introduced to concepts, techniques and compositional influencers to help develop your vision.

To embed the learning, you'll be given an assignment to find the very strongest image from other photographers' work to illustrate these and these images will be uploaded and discussed at the start of the next session. Whilst you will be given various resources and places to find outstanding street photography you can select images from any photographer globally.

This workshop will be for 8 - 10 people only and will be the same as a face to face workshop, just from the comfort of your own home.  Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with working on-line the tutor will be there to guide you through each step.
