Workshop Categories: Street Photography
The Workshops approaches street photography a little differently than traditional street photography. Where traditional street photography has undertones of voyeurism, at The Workshops we focus on spontaneous collaborations where a photographer and subject genuinely connect. It takes skill and confidence to approach someone new, ask to take their portrait, and then weave the existing light and environment together into an image.
