See the streets differently and photograph them with greater confidence in this creative, personal workshop from leading street photographer Mike Chudley. Mike Chudley’s unique sense of composition and timing, and his ability to tell stories through spur-of-the-moment images with a subtle sense of humour have earned him a hugely dedicated following. Across 20 short, sharp, inspirational chapters, Mike shares the lessons he’s learned from years of shooting, teaching and refining his approach, including how to: Train your eye to spot visual triggers in everyday street scenes. Find strong composition instinctively, when there’s no time to think. Work with light, colour and shadow to build more compelling frames. Photograph people ethically and confidently without losing authenticity. Build patience and creative focus when nothing seems to be happening. Edit and select your strongest images, developing a recognisable personal style. Stay motivated even when creative blocks hit. This is Mike’s masterclass, revealing his key secrets and tips for the very first time.
