Reykjavik City Street Photography Workshop

Our focus will be on the street, working with your awareness and how to spot the extraordinary in the everyday ordinary. Along with your awareness of the environment comes awareness of the technology in your hands. We will cover some information on cameras and shooting for spontaneous situations, however we will not focus too heavily on technical information.
The session will take place over a three hours walking tour through the downtown streets of Reykjavik. We will visit locations that are particular robust visual examples of space and form, but also good for photographing people. With the recent influx of visitors, Reykjavik street life is more robust than ever. We will address challenges faced when photographing strangers, and if you are open to it, how to turn chance encounters into portrait opportunities.
Locations visited will include Harpa Concert Hall, the Sun Voyager sculpture - Sólfar, Hallgrímskirkja, Tjörnin (the Pond), and the cemetery. As with photography, it is important to remain open to spontaneity, so these locations might be subject to change or additions depending on how we feel. This attitude is very Icelandic in nature and is something I recommend embracing particularly while you are visiting.
Dress for the weather (which is known to change every five minutes) and wear comfortable outdoor walking shoes which are weatherproof.
