City of Los Angeles Events in November, 2025

As a photographer, how do we see? What makes people, places, and things so fascinating while simultaneously so intimidating? How do we identify and then approach scenes and subjects without disturbing the story?


Welcome to our Advanced Street Photography Intensive, where, after a brief technical review of the exposure triangle & composition, participating photographers will embark on the local streets with cameras in hand. Each outing will offer the opportunity for an in-depth classroom review by our peers while diving into the careers of those photography giants in this field. Our overall goal is to take our photographic skills to the next level and refine our ability to “see” while furthering our prowess on the street.


We will wrap the day with a much stronger understanding of street photography and how best to capture the world around us in a still image that speaks volumes.


LECTURE TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:




Advanced composition techniques: Layering/Separation, Juxtaposition, Reflection






Show a series of classic street photographs from masters such as: Cartier-Bresson, Gordon Parks, Mary Ellen Mark, Bruce Gilden, Vivian Maier, then discuss their techniques which make them stand above the rest.


Review & Critique images – What works and what can be further improved


Focus and the Psychology of people and their movement: Zone focusing, How people move, How people react to their surroundings, Closeness and Spontaneity


Projects and Theme: Creating images under a unified theme and purpose. Looking for emotion in your subject.


Combine the above with the exposure triangle.

**All attendees are asked to bring three of their favorite street photographs they have taken to share with the class during discussion.


**The optional 10:30 am Beginning Camera/Photography Refresher Session is great for those who want to brush up on reviewing exposure triangles and composition.

We arrive around 12:00noon so the main parking area is already full. They told us to park in the science center building which you need to walk around 5-10mins which is not a problem for us. Its a 3 floor building and we really enjoyed checking each artifacts.

Sunset Blvd

Tn Around

Sunset Boulevard is one one the most iconic things about LA but, it is ultimately just a road. There is no doubt that it covers a few highlights e.g. Playboy Mansion, the Oppenheim Group and leads straight to Hollywood but it&#39;s something you end up passing through rather than venturing to.
