Street Portrait Workshop

Dear streettogs,

Due to popular demand, I’m excited to announce a new special 1-day Street Portrait Crash Course workshop in San Francisco (Saturday, April 30). If you have a busy schedule, and want to conquer your fears of approaching strangers, this workshop will be perfect for you. Don’t miss your chance to attend my last workshop in the Bay Area for the next 2 years (I’m going to be living in Vietnam!).

You can also see all my other upcoming street photography workshops >>.

Workshop Description

Have you ran into an interesting stranger on the streets and had a burning desire to take their photo, but you were too scared to take speak with that person? Do you want to build up that courage to engage with strangers more comfortably and without hesitation? Do you want to meet other street photographers that are as equally as passionate about street photography and portraiture just like you?

I am excited to announce I will be a special 1-day “Street Portrait Crash Course” in San Francisco on April 30th, 2016. In this action packed day, you will learn the essentials of a great street portrait and how to engage and interact with strangers more comfortably.

The workshop is limited to 16 passionate individuals who want to take their street portraiture to new heights. The crash course will be an intimate experience in which you will learn how to get more “yes” answers when approaching strangers for a photograph.

I am so confident that you will have an unforgettable experience at the workshop that I offer a 100% money-back guarantee. I know that the workshop is a big monetary investment, but I truly believe that money spent on education and learning is always the best return (far more profitable for your photography than a new camera or lens).

The last 5 years I have taught street photography workshops, I’ve only had 2 students who asked for their money back.

So, what do you have to lose? Invest in an experience you will never forget, that will build your confidence, and take your work to the next level.
