Working on the street, in low light, and in the world of professional theatre and dance.

The spontaneity of street photography demands a different set of skills. This workshop will offer tips on photographic skills and professional etiquette in the theatre and dance worlds as well as tips for surviving on the street. Participants will gain the skills in combining the science/technology of the camera with the art of photographic composition and style.
