Workshop participants will meet in the morning at the Los Angeles Union Station (Amtrak station) and then head to The Arts District, near Little Tokyo.

(Commuting is done by walking and the LA Metro.)


Street photography is arguably one of the most challenging kinds of photography because of its documentary nature. It can also be one of the most fun and rewarding because it allows for the creation of personal statements through the streets contrary nature. Practiced by such legendary photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand, Robert Doisneau, Robert Frank, Burk Uzzle, and Elliott Erwitt, street photography is a form of candid photography that often defies and challenges the rules of composition and technique.
