Photographing Strangers

Course Brief :

Photographing people with a telephoto from across the street is one thing; capturing their character at a closer distance is a whole different level of photographic expression filled with impact, emotion, and a whole lot more. Fact is, many people behind the camera fear close encounters with strangers. Shyness and fear of rejection are a part of it. Not knowing just how to handle the situation successfully once you're in it, is another. This online photography course, taught by professional photographer and anthropologist David Bathgate, aims to remove those obstacles - bringing close-in photography of people - total strangers included - well within your artistic reach. The result is nothing short of creative, confident and amazing.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

Work confidently and decisively with a 50mm to medium telephoto lens
Establish rapport when approaching strangers for a photograph
Make stunning impromptu and environmental portraits in all types of light
See people picture possibilities amid the crowd

What you will need:

Digital SLR or compact mirrorless camera (film is also fine, but you'll need to scan images for upload to the TCI website)
A prime lens or zoom in the 50mm to 105mm range
Computer with photo-processing software (e.g. Lightroom or Photoshop)
Self-motivation to get the most from this instructor-interactive course
