Street Photography Event in Brighton (Sat 28 Jan 2012)
Posted on: Tue Jan 2012
I’ve decided to run a Street Photography event in Brighton on Saturday 28th January 2012.
The event starts at 10am for breakfast at Buddies restaurant on the seafront. They do one of the biggest cooked breakfasts I have ever seen!! I’m sure lighter options are available too.
We will start here and discuss how to approach street photography. Although I’ll be the first to admit that street photography is probably not my strongest genre, I do have some pretty good tips that I have picked up along the way that I’m hoping to put in to practice myself and I’m sure will help you too. Also I can help anyone wanting technical advice, which is definitely an important part of street photography – you may want to think about manual focusing and possibly discuss different light metering modes and maybe shooting in aperture priority or even manual.
Everyone will receive an information sheet that will have some helpful advice, both creative and technical. It will also include your rights as a photographer and what to do should you encounter any issues with the police or security guards.
At around 11.00am we will head out to start shooting the street!
It will be a better idea to split up in to very small groups as shooting people on the street in a large pack is just not going to work. I suggest groups of 1, 2 or 3 people, but these groups can be relatively close together, possibly just a few hundred yards.
I will be on hand at all times, I might not be in your group but I will always be available on my mobile for advice.
We will all meet up at the pub at 3.00pm to discuss the day’s shooting and if anyone wants to bring a laptop, you are free to show off your handy work whilst enjoying a pint or white wine spritzer!
You will be able to book your place on this event via the Photography Courses section very soon. Please feel free to let me know your interest beforehand.

The new year is always a time for thinking about improvements, whether that be the diet that you’ve been thinking about, a gym membership or perhaps bettering your skills in a certain area.
Photography is an incredibly popular hobby, pastime and career – perhaps more popular now than ever before, with all the advantages that digital photography offers.
So why not treat a loved one to a photography course this Christmas. A photography course could improve their knowledge and in turn their enjoyment of this wonderful artform. Perhaps even looking ahead to a career in photography! My photography courses are available in Sussex, Brighton, Kent & London.

If you’re not sure what to get your loved one, then ask…
1) Does your loved one need a photography course?
The answer is most probably yes, photography is an on-going learning process, even for me. There is always something to learn, whether that be technical, creative or just a fun photographic event to attend.
1) Do I know which course would suit them best?
If the answer is yes, then purchasing a specific course could save you more money.
If the answer is no, then purchasing a gift voucher that is valid for all my courses and events is definitely the way to go.

Happy snapping and Happy Christmas.
