STREET PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Hollywood Beach Boardwalk
This is a in-person workshop where you will learn basic and advanced concepts of street photography and how to create images that are interesting , compelling and with potential to win photo contests.
The workshop is designed to help you identify photos that could be selected as finalist in most street photography contests based on Juan's experience overseeing the panel judging of the “MSPF Finalists”, the final cut from among thousands of images submitted to the largest street photography contest in the world and widely recognized as the best of contemporary street photography.
The Boardwalk at Hollywood Beach is by far the best place to shoot street photography in South Florida. It has lots of color, great light, plenty of interesting subjects and ..the beach!!
Juan has been shooting almost exclusively in this area for the last 3 years and is finishing a book, called The Beach is My Street, based on this project.
Juan will walk with the group and show you the best spots on the Boardwalk. You can choose to shoot with the group, along with Juan , or completely on your own. Some people prefer a little bit of guidance and some are more experienced, so either way is fine and it's up to you.
We will meet in-person every morning to review the work and receive feedback. Juan will share a structured way that you can easily apply to select your best photos and submit to contests.
Some of the topics we will cover:
• Basics of street photography, definition and boundaries, equipment etc
• Do’s and Don’ts when shooting on the streets
• The Three Types of Street Photographers
• The Five Levels of Street Photography
• The three key elements to help you decide if it’s a winning image
• The one question to ask yourself every time you edit your photos
• What are Visual Push-Ups and why you need them
