  • Engage with people on the street

    People are the lifeblood of any city. Capturing the people – both local and visitors is a great way of showing the true heart of a city. We focus on both candid shots and I’ll also show you how to approach and engage strangers, and work with them to create a cool photo.

  • Break out of your rut

    Break out of your mould. It is easy to get stuck in a rut, shooting the way you always do. In this course I encourage photographers to try new approaches & gear, and share my techniques and tricks to create unique images.

  • Avoid clichés

    Every big city has its iconic landmarks and must see destinations. For some people – these are unmissable photo opportunities, to others, they are clichés and overdone. In truth - they are iconic for a reason – so let's discuss ways to approach them in new ways to create unique results.
