‘The guard is down and the mask is off.
People’s faces are in naked response on the subway.’ -Walker Evans
If it isn’t a candid capture, it isn’t a street photograph! Learn street photography in the tradition of Walker Evans, Garry Winogrand, and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
THIS WILL BE THE LAST SCHEDULED STREET PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP IN CHICAGO!!!
After eight wonderful years, I will be leaving Chicago and starting a new chapter in life. Therefore, I’m extremely excited to announce what will be the biggest and best street photography workshop that I’ve ever offered here in Chicago – and, it will also be the last! While this is a three-day workshop, you may also schedule for only the Saturday session at a lower price than the full three day workshop. Contact me for scheduling and pricing for the single day:
Chicago Street Photography Three-Day Intensive Workshop: July 15-17, 2016

When I photograph, I see life, that’s what I deal with. I don’t have pictures in my head. I frame in terms of what I want to include, and naturally, when I want to snap the shutter, and I don’t worry about how the picture is going to look.
I let that take care of itself. -Garry Winogrand
