STREET PHOTOGRAPHY | with Quinton Gordon
Quinton Gordon 2010
Street photography is arguably the most challenging but rewarding area of photography. Practiced by legendary photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand, Robert Frank, Elliott Erwitt, and Joel Meyerowitz, street photography is a form of candid photography that explores the human condition through personal observations and commentary.
Street photography involves getting close to people, and making photographs of strangers in pubic places takes some courage, fast reflexes, and basic camera gear. To do street photography well, the photographer must learn to become part of the scene and not the usual distant observer. Good street photography is about telling a story in a single frame by skillfully anticipating actions and interactions. It is about seeing visual poetry, serendipity, and humorous incongruities in the urban chaos.
Join photographer Quinton Gordon for an informative and challenging two day workshop on the streets of Victoria.
