Street Photography

Saturday 14 October

Gastown - 10am - 2 Hours

Sangam KC

People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you. We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Vancouver.

New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

This was my second outing with the group and I found it fun and informative. Although the sunlight wasn't fully cooperative, there was still ample lighting to explore the genre and Gabriel makes a great tour guide. I appreciate these events as it gives me an avenue to expand my photographic expertise and my creative eye.

It was a great experience to meet up with a varied group of photo enthusiasts and embark upon a journey with the intent to capture theme related images in a public setting. There seemed to be a balanced mix of discussion relating to choice of lenses and photographic styles with personal conversations on how we each came to be at this particular meet up. I am happy to have participated in this event and look forward to joining others like it in the future.

Now a Professional Photographer and Photography Instructor based in Vancouver, he specializes in portraits and events but finds peace in landscape and travel photography.

His teaching style typically includes short lectures, hands-on camera demonstrations, and practical exercises both indoors and outdoors. However, he's adaptable, tailoring his approach to meet the diverse learning needs of his students.
