Student Photos: NYC Conquer Your Fear Workshop 2016

The “Conquer Your Fear of Shooting Street Photography” workshop is one of my personal favorites– it is a combination of street portraiture, candid shooting, and building your confidence. I’ve done the workshop many times– and it never gets old.

I love how much fun it is, the sense of community-building during the workshop, and also the superb images that come out of the workshop.

During the workshop, we shot mostly around the Bryant Park area– meeting lots of fantastic people on the streets, and practicing the “10 no challenge” (trying to get 10 people to reject you taking their photos on the streets), to practice “working the scene” (not just taking 1 photo and running away), and also getting closer (1 arm length challenge).

The workshop was exhausting, but fulfilling– full of good laughs, coffee (lots of it), and some new friendships.

All you guys who went to the workshop– thank you so much for the amazing weekend, and you should all be proud of yourselves. Keep rocking, and never give up.
