Excursion: How to Capture Great Street Photography with David Wells in NYC
Learn street photography in New York City, home to the best street life on earth. While photographing on the streets of Manhattan, students will work to become more aware of their environment and more apt to create great images.
This event is sponsored by Black Rapid. You can demo a Black Rapid Strap for FREE during this excursion.
The ingredients for great street photography are a keen sense of one’s surroundings, as well as appreciation of the nearby movement and light in combination with patience and readiness.
The class is designed to teach you how to work rapidly and unobtrusively in busy environments with minimal equipment and maximum adaptability. These are skills that serve any photographer well and apply to most areas of photography outside of the control of the studio. Through the class you will learn to improve your ability to quickly analyze the quality and direction of light as well as the ability to frame and compose the image while anticipating the unfolding activity.
This three meeting class starts with a lectures/lessons where we review metering, composition, lens choice, use of your ISO, shutter speed and f/stop settings as well where to position yourself. Then the students spend the day in NYC photographing along side me, (wherein I am giving them feedback via their digital camera monitors.) The next day we critique the finished work. This hands-on workshop will allow you to practice your new found skills and techniques accompanied by the instructor. Topics covered include:
The street photographer's camera and bag
Being in the right place at the right time
Varying the time of the day
Understanding the light
Composition
Stopping action vs showing motion
Framing and scaling
Thoughts on tripods
Using the appropriate lens
*Travel and lodging is not included. *Tripods are not permitted during this excursion.
