“The best single word to describe an Eric Kim workshop is ‘transformative’. For me, it has changed the way I evaluate my own photos. It has changed the way I interact with subjects on the street. It has even changed the way I work in Lightroom and shortened the edit process considerably. One of the best photography workshops I have had the privilege of attending and I have attended quite a few.”

“My tog-partner in crime and I absolutely loved the introductory street photography workshop! Not only did we make progress but our entire photography paradigm got shifted in a matter of days. Perfect blend of street shooting, critiques, guest lectures and theory that really allows participants to take things to the next level. Hope to join you for the advanced workshop at some point in the future!”

“During my thirty-seven years of teaching high school English, I realized that there are two types of writing teachers: (1. “red inkers” and (2. coaches. The former left an essay blood red with corrections; The latter coached the writer through the process: instruct, play, review. The teachers in the Street Photography Workshop are coaches who take the students through the learning process. If you want a positive, helpful, and community building photographic experience, you will find it the Street Photography Workshop.”

“This is by far the most comprehensive, hands-on course for the Introduction of Street Photography. The critiques are done in such a positive manner that you can’t help but learn from them. Eric is an outstanding instructor and his funny sense of humor and enthusiasm make the class very relaxing and fun. I cannot imagine that anyone could take this course and not throughly enjoy it. Thanks again Eric!”

I could not have been happier with my workshop experience. Eric tailored his teaching style and approach to each participants ability and need. He introduced a technique completely different from the approach I normally take and I now have a new perspective on how to treat my subjects. More importantly I gained a sense of community and friendship from not just Eric but all those who participated.
