Secrets of the Street- Tom Hassler

Secrets of the Street
A Hands-On Workshop with Tom Hassler

So what’s the deal with “street” photography anyway? This popular genre, pioneered in the mid-twentieth century, has evolved into a broad range of approaches and techniques. In this hands-on one-day workshop with pro photographer Tom Hassler we’ll delve into ways for you to improve your skills and confidence in finding the pictures that are hiding in plain sight.

Topics we’ll cover include:

Our day will begin with a general discussion of approaches and techniques. Then we will hit the streets and put those ideas into practice. Plan to bring a camera that you are familiar with, extra batteries and memory cards. If you have prime lenses in the moderate-wide to short-tele range, these are ideal. Mirrorless cameras are perfect too, since they are small and discreet. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather.
