Leica Akademie Vancouver: Guest Speaker

Since starting my Youtube series, I've been getting emails from people asking if I run any workshops on street photography. As you may know, when Eric Kim was in town in Vancouver, he invited me to audit his 3 day street photography workshop and I had fun watching someone formulating how to teach this unusual photographic 'art form'. Eric insisted that I should run my own workshops and I thought a good way to start was accepting the privilege of being the guest speaker and instructor for the upcoming Leica Akademie in Vancouver next week.

After the Leica event I will give more information on my own upcoming Vancouver street photography workshops. For now, let's say that my workshop will be on the street, and I will have no more than 5 people per workshop. I'll have 2 workshops per month, each on specific themes:

-zone focusing and shooting blind
-how to approach strangers
-how to compose and capture randomness
-have a regular photo route
-iPhoneography and Instagram

The workshops will be held on Saturday or Sunday afternoons, 4 hours with a coffee break in the middle and the end to review our pictures or discuss what we've learned. If you have any more questions or input on how I can make my workshops more interesting, please don't hesitate to comment below or email me directly. I already have a few students lined up so thank you so much for your interest and support.

For those of you who don't live in Vancouver, I still have my YouTube series, and I'll include more how to videos. I also have a local camera shop who I'm partnering with for indoor reviews during rainy and gloomy days. Wait for the announcement soon, but it's going to be exciting. 

I have lots of reviews backed up so I apologize for anyone who is waiting for a specific camera or lens I promised to review. I was busy with my Instagram project with Fluevog Shoes called Streetvogs, featuring street photographers from around the world, starting with me in Vancouver. It's moved on to Toronto featuring @Phraction so check him out. 

Thanks again for all your support and check out my other projects:



Happy shooting and have a great day!

  4. Red fire ants imported
    Fire ants get a common name from their ability to inflict painful bites and stings. Originally from Brazil, fire ants were introduced to the United States in 1933 and are now found throughout the southern part of the country. شركة مكافحة حشرات
