Discover the art of capturing fleeting street moments in this three-part workshop, designed for photographers of all levels — from first-timers to seasoned shooters. Whether you’re using a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or your iPhone, this course will sharpen your eye, boost your confidence, and help you capture the rhythm and beauty of life on the streets.

We’ll begin with an engaging classroom session covering the rich history of street photography, highlighting iconic image-makers, and sharing practical tips and techniques. Next, we’ll take a guided photo walk through Boston to put these ideas into action. In the final session, participants will share their images for a group critique and discussion — a chance to reflect, learn, and grow together.

Join us to develop your photography skills and connect with others who see the city through a creative, visual lens.
