Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this kids photography class:

Do you have a photographer's eye that singles out many moments often unnoticed by others? In our ever-changing landscape there are so many of these instances that can be captured if you have the knowing, planning and expertise. Deemed "Street Photography", this art-form goes beyond the snapshot into the artistic documentation of today's urban realities by harnessing emotion, light, shadows and storytelling in a single image.

"Street Portraiture" builds on this art style where the photographer capitalizes on the raw beauty of the unposed subject creating a natural, unencumbered photograph. Technically the photographer is forced to move from the shadows to directly engage the subject transitioning from a former candid creation to a deliberate portrait.

In this one week week class, join filmmaker and photographer Todd Felderstein, as together, we will discover the secrets in "Street Portraiture" that will hone our storytelling skills, allowing us to better discover hidden gems and how to approach and engage random subjects without disrupting their environment. 

This class will further address composition, lighting, cameras and the psychology behind this style of shooting. We will create an assortment of portraits on a weekly basis while always challenging our comfort zone and creative eye. The course will conclude with a final project to be presented to the entire class.

Having completed this class, students will walk away with a more refined photographer's eye, a greater technical understanding, and a greater sense of confidence when venturing out with their camera, regardless of the surrounding culture and community.

Skill/Experience Level:
Open to all levels, but students should have a working knowledge of their camera. A basic understanding of photography fundamentals is encouraged.

Note: Since “Street Portraiture” oftentimes needs to be somewhat intimate, students should be prepared to be pushed outside of their comfort zone.

A Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera or digital mirrorless camera capable of manual control settings is highly recommended for this class. However, all types of cameras are welcome, including film cameras. If needed, LACP has digital mirrorless cameras provided by Fujifilm that students can borrow for in-class purposes. Please reach out to [email protected] to contact the administration if you need to borrow a Fujifilm camera as there are a limited number available.
