Bryce Giesmann
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    In February 2024 I went to Farmington Bay in the morning to see if I can get some shots of Bald Eagles. I saw theses two and I started watching them. The one on the left started to call out and I started to shoot. The one on the right started to stretch out its leg. I cropped the picture as a square to focus on the Eagles. I used my R6 with RF 100-500mm lens with the 1.4 extender.

    This portrait is part of an ongoing documentary project that started in 1985 to document the remaining vestiges of rural America in the tradition of the Farm Security Administration photographers of the 1930s and 1940s. In 2023 I was roaming the back roads of Virginia when I met this gentleman on his four wheeler. After learning about his family's connection to the land I asked if I could make a portrait of him, he obliged. Taken with Nikon D850, Nikkor 14-24mm, 1/25 sec. at f/8, ISO 640, in the

    I was waiting for the night fall to take the setting Milky Way. The day wasn?t clear so I wasn?t planning on taking any sunset photos. As I was looking for a composition I saw the small pathway between two boulders leading down. Also the small rocks kinda positioned in as lines leading to the main subject - sugarloaf rocks. As the sun goes down towards the horizon golden light started hitting the rocks giving a golden colour to them. I decided that it was a moment I couldn?t miss so started shoo

    photo taken in Edinburgh in one of the city parks, I was visiting with the intention of taking a few photos on the autumn theme. The photographic equipment used was a canon eos 7D mark 2 and a Canon EF 70 - 300 mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM lens. I took the photo from the ground to capture the right angle of view and perspectives, significantly reflecting the dynamics of the shot.
