Street Photography

Saturday 01 April

Century Shopping Center - 10am - 2 Hours

People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you. We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

Thomas Young

Thomas Young was born and raised in Western Mass. Always having loved art, he first picked up a camera over a decade ago as a way to gather references and study light for painting. He hasn't been able to put the camera down since.

Thomas has traveled and photographed much of New England, including most of the waterfalls in Mass, but always returns to fine art and street photography.
