About this course

This course takes a beginner from nervous snapshots to deliberate street work. You will set your camera so it fires the instant you see a moment, prefocus by distance instead of hunting autofocus, chase and use hard light and shadow, work close without being intrusive, and shape a scattered set of frames into a coherent body of work. Every module uses concrete settings, named cameras and photographers, and worked street scenarios.
