Street photography is a fine-art medium rooted in the candid capture of fleeting moments in shared public spaces. Both art and craft, it reveals emotional, psychological, philosophical, and cultural truths about the human condition. In this 100% projector-driven course, we’ll explore how great street photography uses tone, form, point of view, lens choice, metaphor, and composition to create powerful images. We’ll also examine how a personal philosophy of life shapes this art form and gives it depth. Weekly pacing may vary based on discussion, with emails previewing upcoming content. Students are invited (but not required) to share their own work during the final class. All levels welcome. Student sharing is optional. This program is being presented with limited enrollment to foster discussion.
