Friday, April 17, 7-9pm, Saturday, April 18, 3:30pm-sunset, and Sunday, April 26, 1-5pm at Downtown Art Center (DAC)
ONLINE, DAC, and on the streets
Fee: $175.00
Instructor: Philippe Gross and Ian Hunt
Street photography is the art of catching the stories of our daily life in a fraction of a second. The topics are as wide as the human experience: Humor, beauty, joy, pain, love, tenderness, the full range of emotions as well as abstract concepts through geometry and texture. In its best form, it is the art of revealing dimensions of the mundane that our habits prevent us from seeing. Through this practice, we end up discovering that our world is infinitely richer than what we are used to experiencing. However, to develop this way of seeing, the photographer must train the mind to pay attention to particular elements while remaining open to the unfolding mysteries of life.
The class explores a wide variety of styles of street photography, from which each participant will select a few to practice during the workshop. Based on your work, we’ll suggest photographic approaches and genres that may align with your natural inclinations and creative tendencies.
Join Ian and Philippe as they walk the streets of Honolulu to practice the art of seeing beyond seeing.
Schedule: On Friday 4/17 at 7 pm, in a Zoom session, we explore and discuss various styles of street photography, explore what constitutes a strong image, and help participants select the styles that appeal to them. On Saturday 4/18 from 3:30 pm until sunset, we meet on the street to practice these skills (Location to be determined based on the weather). A moderated critique of the images taken during the workshop and during the following week will be held on Sunday 4/26 at DAC.
Please bring your own camera and make sure your batteries are charged. You must have a basic understanding of how to use your camera. Wear comfortable attire.
