Vancouver Photo Workshops proudly announces a weekend workshop spin off of our popular 8 week street photography course with Kathleen Hinkel.

“If you can smell the street by looking at the photo, it’s a street photography”
– Bruce Gilden

Street photography is a pure vision of the urban environment.  It’s the reflection in the mirror that the photographer holds up to it.  It’s a detailed, visceral record of street culture, capturing poignant moments, humour, irony and all manner of human emotion and experience. 

This workshop will combine in-class lecture and shooting field trips plus image critique that will incorporate discussions on the modern masters of street photography.  Each field trip will involve a new challenge to develop the students’ skills and introduce the students to new techniques.

Saturday AM: Introduction, Definition & Ethics
