About Street Photo Workshop

This group is for past and current participants of the Street Photography Workshop led by Gary Alexander at Photofusion in London.

The Workshop runs this year on the 25th July & 8th August (new dates) and 4th & 20th of June 2009.

The aim of the workshop is to explore street photography in it’s broadest sense and to give the participants the opportunity to develop confidence, explore their own visual ideas and find ways to successfully photograph on the streets. Participants will be encouraged to consider an individual approach to their photography during the workshop with the intention of producing a themed set of pictures. This workshop takes place over two Saturdays with a week in-between to give participants time to practice.

In preparation for the first session a list of web links will be circulated via e-mail and participants will be asked to think about ideas for a small project. The workshop is aimed at all levels of photographers who are keen to explore the genre of street photography. You are welcome to use film or digital capture.

Gary Alexander has been photographing on the streets of London for over twenty years. His work was shown in the group show ‘Onto the Streets’ at Photofusion in conjunction with Tate Modern.

DAY ONE
Morning: Gary Alexander will talk about the history of street photography and lead a discussion about what it now means. This will include a look at different methods and approaches, including ways to photograph people.
Afternoon: Gary will lead the afternoon session in central London so that participants can practice some of the ideas generated by the morning session. Between the two workshop days participants are encouraged to produce more work, which they can bring (as prints or on cd) to the final session.

DAY TWO
Morning: the group will meet for a second session of photography preceded by a brief meeting to discuss any questions raised since the first session.
Afternoon: the group will look at and discuss the pictures produced during the workshop with the aim of producing a joint body of work in the form of a web gallery.
