Join me on weekends as I host street photography workshops in Glasgow.
Glasgow is a dream location for both new and experienced street photographers.
We will wander slowly along Buchanan Street, through George Square, Queen Street, past the Gallery of Modern Art, the Duke of Wellington aka 'Cone Heid', alleyways, along the riverside to the Squiggly Bridge and Argyll Street to name but a few of my favourite locations.
If you love photographing on the streets or want to try it for the first time, you'll get the opportunity to shoot street portraits, make images of buskers, architecture, monuments, film locations, street art by some of the city's legendary artists, sticker art, reflections, vandalised phone boxes, discarded takeaways and really grotty alleyways. Don't wear your best clothes!
We can grab a takeaway or sandwich along the way and relax on the steps ar GoMA and have a chat at lunchtime. Afterwards, if you want to hang around a bit longer we can find a cafe or bench to share photos and talk about the day. The day is based around using your imagination, seeing things differently and going away with some great photos for your collection.
Everyone is welcome regardless of experience and kit. Novices will always get help from someone willing to share their knowledge. We can talk about street photography including composition, how to approach people for a photo and when not to approach them! And we can enjoy some fun challenges along the way which I will randomly come up with five minutes before you arrive!
