Escape to the Colorful and Exotic Streets of Istanbul: Street Photography 101 Workshop with Eric Kim, Charlie Kirk, and Andrew Kochanowski

INTERESTED IN DISCOVERING ISTANBUL AND DOCUMENTING IT WITH UNFORGETTABLE PHOTOS?

Ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Have you been cooped up behind the desk for too long?
  2. Has it been too long since you had a nice vacation?
  3. Do you love photography and travel?
  4. Do you want to walk the streets in a foreign land and have the confidence to capture images of people and places you only see in guide books and on TV?
  5. Do you want to meet other street photographers that are as equally passionate about street and travel photography who are interested in learning like you?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, I am excited to announce my upcoming street photography workshop in Istanbul. Imagine the dusty roads with the soft golden light peeking through the sky, the colorful bazaars, the lively sound of the people and music in the streets, and the beautiful mosques covering the skyline. For those of who have never visited Istanbul, it is quite unlike any place you have ever been to—and one of the best places to shoot street photography in the world.

For this unique workshop, I will be having street photographers Charlie Kirk and Andy Kochanowski as my co-teachers. This will be an incredibly interactive, comprehensive, and hands-on workshop which will be a strong primer to anyone interested in street photography or wanting to improve their current skills.
