Upcoming Events

Street Photography

Saturday 01 April

Market Square Victoria - 10am - 2 Hours

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

I am so impressed with Ron's approach. He quickly understood our level of competence, and is skilled on responding flexibly in response to our questions. His answers to our questions were understandable. He gave us some doable practical challenges and gave appropriate and helpful feedback. He was encouraging throughout.
