    The workshop will consist of presentations with insightful tips and techniques<\/strong> to help you better learn how to shoot captivating street photographs. To help you gain hands-on experience<\/strong>, the workshop less lecture-based and more focused on you shooting on the streets, discussing with myself and others, and learning what makes a memorable street photograph.<\/p>\n

    During the workshop you will be able to showcase your street photography<\/strong>, and get helpful comments and critiques from fellow street photographers. If you have ever uploaded a photo to Facebook or Flickr and have been frustrated by comments like “nice shot” or “what camera did you use?” you will find the feedback in this workshop incredible.<\/p>\n

    The workshop will also give you the opportunity to meet other supportive and passionate street photographers<\/strong> that will help you in your own photographic journey. After the workshop, I will make a private Facebook group for everyone in the workshop to keep in touch, continue to shoot together, and build a community.<\/p>\n

We will identify your\u00c2\u00a0strengths and weaknesses in your work<\/strong>, and help you edit down your work into a strong set.<\/p>\n

    We will also give a brief presentation talking about the\u00c2\u00a0fundamentals of street photography<\/strong>, and afterwards we will eat a nice meal and have drinks together.

Then we will start the workshop off with a lecture\/powerpoint presentation<\/strong> discussing the fundamentals of street photography, how to conquer your fear of shooting on the streets, and tips about composition when shooting on the streets. During the presentation it will be very interactive — as you will be asked to give your own thoughts, experiences, and opinions.<\/p>\n

    We will then grab our cameras and hit the streets<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0where I will give you specific assignments to give you focus. I will accompany you side-by-side when shooting street photography, helping you gain your confidence and also giving you tips & tricks on what to look for when shooting. There will also be a focus on how to shoot street photography in a culturally-sensitive way. In addition, I will also give you technical advice on the best settings to use on your camera for street photography.<\/p>\n

You will be given constructive critique & feedback<\/strong> on your\u00c2\u00a0images\u00c2\u00a0rather than the shallow “Nice shot” or “What lens did you use?” comments that you might get on Facebook and Flickr. Many people who have attended my past workshops say this is the most rewarding part of the workshop.<\/p>\n

    At the end of the workshop, we will go out for a final dinner together where we can continue to share our passion & experiences from the workshop<\/strong>.

    “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.” <\/em><\/p>\n

    “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!”<\/em><\/p>\n

    “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.”\u00c2\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

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.

    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.<\/em><\/p>\n
