- October 22, 29, November 5 & 12 (Register by Oct. 20 @ 11pm)
Instructor: Dixon Handshaw
Ages: 18+
Description:
Most of us get started in photography taking pictures of nature, old buildings, landscapes or architecture. But typically, we shy away from making pictures with people. And why do we do that? Because it’s hard. The most successful street photographers have mastered the art of talking to complete strangers and gaining their trust enough to get them to let the photographer into their world and make their photograph. Difficult, yes. Rewarding, definitely. All it takes is a desire to be successful and practice. I’ve been practicing and learning from great street photographers for years now and I’m finally ready to teach this course. If you are up for a challenge, join me and other equally talented photographers for a journey into the art of photographing humanity.

Adjustable Mirrorless Camera or DSLR with 28 mm, 35mm or wide angle zoom lens. Lenses longer than 50mm not recommended for this class.
