Introduction to Street Photography

John will demonstrate how he photographs the streets by showing some of his work.

Additionally, he will explain—in detail—how he configures his camera and the preparations he makes to attain a specific shot. He will give specific tips on how to photograph during different times of day, weather, and locations (e.g., how a different approach is needed when photographing in downtown San Francisco vs downtown Sacramento).

Participants will also be joining John for hands-on practice photographing the streets of Midtown Sacramento.
