Photos from participants on my London street photography workshop – 8 April 2017

Here’s a selection of photos from participants on a one-day street photography workshop I ran in London in, erm, April 2017. Apologies for the slight delay in posting.

This has got to be the one of the best set of photos from a workshop I was involved with. It's the sort of collective result I hoped for from a workshop, thanks mainly to good participants. There’s a heap of hand and gesture action, and loads of interesting interactions. And you get a sense of the frenetic urgency of central London.

First up, Alex Steger, all the way from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Alex was using a Leica Q.

Next, one from Sean Pollock, a photographer specialising in portrait work. If you’ve seen a portrait of the former football manager, Alex Ferguson on a book cover or in a magazine, chances are that fellow Scot Sean Pollock took it…

Now one from Angelo Gifford, who has been to several of my days out. Thanks Angelo.

One from Jure Maticic, visiting from Slovenia. Jure was using an Fujifilm X-T2.

Next up, multifaceted photographer Manu Smith-Palomeque.

Sean Pollock. Was life created?

Sean Pollock. One of the instructions I gave was one that Garry Winogrand used to give students, simply – “take a picture of someone doing something to someone else”.

Not bad for an afternoon's work...

Finally finally, a photo I took on my way to meet the group...

There were seven participants, and I've included some photos from all of the five who uploaded photos to the group Flickr pool. The two attendees who didn’t submit photos are still welcome to do so (if you can remember that far back in time…).
