Shooting street photography is all about being able to see an image before you take it. You will find yourself waiting for the right moment, people move quickly through crowds and the light changes regularly (especially in England) it is important to know your camera settings and keep on your toes when shooting street photography

As with all types of Photography practice is key but you can use the following bullet points as prompts on what to look for when you're out shooting:


Interestingly lit areas
Pattern
Leading Lines
Story Telling
Composition
Colours
Reflections

Experiment with each of these headings as you shoot throughout the day and see what images you get. Make sure to experiment with your angle for each shot and don't just stand and point your camera at your subject. Shoot in a priority mode to allow for sudden changes in lighting, I would suggest using a wide aperture and a fast shutter speed if possible (1/125th - 1/640th depending on how bright your scene is)

Let's face it, everyone loves their pets, they're cute, soft and fluffy (apart from reptiles and fish of course..) What's not to love? But sometimes it can be tricky to photograph animals and to get a good shot, especially if they are black or white as it's hard to get the detail in their fur.

On this workshop you will learn:
​

• How to adjust your exposure to get detail in the fur and separate your subject from the background 
• How to engage cats and dogs to keep them focussed when shooting
• How to work with a pose routine
• How to shoot at the best angle for your subject
• What settings to use to freeze motion and avoid getting blurry pictures
• How your choice of lighting affects the image and your camera settings

With a whopping 80% of new businesses failing in the first 18 months (Bloomberg 2013) it is so important to make sure you fully understand what is involved and plan for your first 5 years of trading; If you charge in without doing your research you are likely to come up against obstacles that could have otherwise been avoided.
