Join Valérie Jardin for an immersive and intensive 2-day program in Seattle where you will capture the city's vibrant and eclectic urban life, showcasing its unique blend of modernity and natural beauty. This workshop will ignite or rekindle your passion for street photography. With her guidance, you will learn the intricacies of capturing the essence of everyday life, honing your skills in composition, storytelling, and the art of capturing candid moments.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced photographer, Valérie will help you capture the types of photographs you are aiming for and give you an inspiration boost to practice new techniques.

Day 1: We will start out in the classroom with a presentation during which we will discuss the different ways to approach street photography. We will go over the ethical aspect of this popular genre of photography, the do's & don'ts and how to get over the fear of photographing strangers in the streets. From candid shots to street portraits, we will look at techniques to make strong storytelling photographs.

Immediately following the presentation we will go on a photo walk to practice newly learned techniques.

Day 2: The morning will start with a photo walk and end in the classroom with an image review session.

  • Instruction in a small group setting by Valerie Jardin
