For your class project, you will take 5 street photos and share them with the class.

Class Project Steps:

Make a rough list of the 5 photos you want to take.
Plan your locations.
Prep your gear (and charge your camera battery).
Grab your camera & take some photos! Good luck!
Edit your photos.
Upload them to the Project Gallery.

Photo Musts:

Each photo must involve a street scene (how surprising).
Utilize compositional thoughtfulness.
Establish a clear and defined subject.
Challenge yourself according to your street photography goals.

Types Of Photos We Want To See:

Candids of strangers
Street portraits of strangers (not your friends).
Cityscapes
Urban exploration (with or without people).
Aerials too!

Gear, Settings, & Editing:

Feel free to use whatever gear you like. Do you want to shoot simply? Great! Shoot with a phone? Neat! Challenge yourself and try manual? Good luck, you brave soul!

A simple setup I recommend is a mirrorless camera with a 50mm f/1.8 lens. If you can't get your hands on a 50mm, use the kit lens or whatever you have. Use whatever editing software you like, I'll be using Lightroom.

See "Lesson 4: Best Gear For Street Photography?" in the class guidebook for more shooting and editing recommendations!

Class Guidebook:

This resource will act as an anchor as your move through the class. It's full of helpful lesson specific information, as well as general street photography techniques and exercises that will keep you from feeling lost along the way.

Community Guidelines:

Be kind!
Discussion and critiques are encouraged!
Discuss in terms of cause and effect as opposed to right and wrong.

Reviews: Let us know what you thought about the class! If you are interested, it would be so helpful and much appreciated if you would visit the Review section and share your thoughts.

Happy shooting, gang!
