Street photography is very popular now more than ever because photographers have access to high-quality cameras in mobile phones and smaller digital cameras. A camera’s ease of access and proliferation raises the issues of ethics and privacy in public places and the difference between a snapshot and a street photograph.
This hands-on class will explore the unique aspects of the street photography genre. Michael Koren will be your guide as you create compelling photographs that go beyond the ordinary snapshot.
First, in a weekday evening Zoom session a few days before the class you’ll learn pro-level street photography techniques and ethics including privacy issues associated with street photography.
Then, you’ll meet Michael’s in the field in the Penn Quarter/China Town/7th St/ Naval Memorial area where there are always plenty of street photography opportunities. With Michael’s guidance and direction, the group will photograph outdoors to create photos that demonstrate your personal vision while using your own gear optimized for street photography.
Topics include:
- Proper techniques and settings for street photography
- Pro tips and techniques for capturing compelling images
- Create captivating images using anticipation, patience, composition, and visualization
- Hands-on image capture
- Privacy and ethics concerning street photography
- In the field image review and feedback
Recommended gear: A DSLR or mirrorless camera with manual exposure controls and lenses in the range of 28mm – 70mm. Smartphone’s are welcome too.
We’ll be walking about 4 to 6 blocks during the course of this class and we may end near the Nat Gallery of Art at 4th St.
If it rains, we will hold the class indoors at the Portrait Gallery or the Gallery of Art.

What People Are Saying About Michael
“I thought the class was a good mix of class time with history, concepts, guidance, how-to-approach and then practice time on the streets of DC. Michael provided very good direction as well as hands-on tutoring in the field. Very happy with the class.”
“This was a great class! I am a beginner and I never felt intimidated or overwhelmed. The class was a lot of fun and I feel like I learned so much. I’m looking forward to taking another one soon”
“Michael gave great advice and feedback on composition, framing, and focus. He did a great job of reinforcing the importance of slowing down to stop, think and re-think about everything in the frame or as he put it, the “what” and “why” for each frame.”
