Hit the streets in Portland Oregon with Michael and Joni as they teach you how to approach subjects, deal with varying lighting situations, and capture compelling compositions.  Be a part of building a makeshift outdoor studio to capture portraits of people we meet along the streets!

This class is also great for anyone who is planning to travel to countries where language poses a communication gap, as techniques will be covered concerning communication sans words.

Here are a few words from our Amsterdam (April 2012) Street Workshop participants:

“My expectations were blown away. The amount of time I was able to spend 1-1 with the instructors was great. It was great to come without any experience and I still felt very welcome. I can’t wait to see what happens next with my newfound hobby!” – Kyle E.

“It was an inspiration from you two and the group. It was my first street photography workshop and I loved that it pushed me to act. Losing fear to ask people to pose made me feel less vulnerable.” – Karen M.

“Great workshop, not only because of the coursework, but also the way the instructors challenge, inspire and draw out your creative talents. I enjoyed the flexibility and the way the participants were included.” – Sasha S.
