Christopher Thorne
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    Aaron explained an unusal method of portrait shots. Unlike most people he suggested using 24mm focal length and how this would allow more creative shots.

    Title or Location: River Deben at Woodbridge,Suffolk,UK
    My wife and I regularly go for walks along the River Deben at Woodbridge, often ending up at the Woodbridge Tidemill. Having stopped for a cup of coffee we walked around to the Tidemill when I noticed the two sea scout boats moored at low tide. Recently I have been taking more photos in monotone to improve my photography skills and I thought that the view of the boats moored at low tide were worth a shot.

    Looking for a chance to capture and aircraft taking off from Manchester Airport and just happened to spot this high-flying (KLM) aircraft that was heading straight into the correct path for a moon shot - so I took it. Luckily, I had around five or six shots before the aircraft flew past the moon and on its way. Camera info: Canon 5Ds with EF 70-200mm f2.8L USM lens with 2x converter. Processed through Capture One by Phase 1.
