Chicago is definitely one of my new favorite places to shoot street photography. Not only is downtown Chicago ripe for street photography, but Chicago has some of the friendliest and down-to-earth people out there. I had the time of my life teaching my street photography workshop with Jason Martini, and you can see a recap of my workshop here.

Below are the best images from the Introduction to Street Photography Workshop. If you are interested, I also have upcoming workshops in Toronto, India, Tokyo, and Malaysia on my workshops page!

Whose photos really speak out to you? Let us now by leaving a comment below!

  • http://briscophoto.com/ Brian Scott

    I see some good shots there, but the best ones IMO are Eric’s first two. Enjoyed those the most.

    Also, I’ve read numerous times how important it is to get close in street photography. I agree with that, but there are a couple on this page that are good but I think would be better if they were a few feet back., kinda when I see a photo of someone cropped at the knees, etc. I like the photo but I know I would like it more if I could see this person in the environment they’re in. Just my two cents.

      A wonderful collection indeed. I agree that some of these would be more appealing if taken farther back but street photography can be a challenging beast and sometimes you have to take what you can get.

      • http://briscophoto.com/ Brian Scott

        Yeah, I agree 100%. I’ve looked at some of my own shots and wished I was further back but knew I couldn’t have gotten back because of when the shot “happened” or where I was at the time.

  • Stephen Zacharias

    I liked many of these images but Bob Chambers stuff really resonated with me. I especially liked the first three in that set.

    The shots from Rod Winn seem to have a certain consistency of style that I like. In your recent interview with Justin Vogel he talks about developing a consistent style that I think is important. The photos are all similar aspect ratio and shot at a similar focal length which works well. They also seem to have interesting backgrounds rather than simply being done “street portrait” style.

    Other shots that stand out are Sam Lozano’s top shot with the buses in the background.

  • Lesfaberfoto

    I think they are all good in their own way. Some real talent.

    Great collection! But where are photos? Probably it would be better to display them on the post directly. Or maybe I have some troubles with the browser and others see photos right here…

  • damaged

    I liked many from each! The best is Jayme Sudeth’s last pic (slightly biased haha). Sam Lozano’s photos really catch my eye though.
