Come down to Brighton for our Street Photography Workshop run by award winning photographer Heather Buckley. The morning begins at Silicon Beach Training where Heather talks about and demonstrates how to identify great photographic opportunities wherever you are.

Most of the principles learned on the day can be applied to any genre of photography.

Heather Buckley Street Photography Workshop

During this training course, you will learn how to see and find images and how simple concepts that really work can be applied to many environments and situations.

The introduction will be brief and you will be given images and objectives as challenges for the day, then you will hit the eclectic streets of Brighton.

There will be much more practice than lecture, the group is kept to a maximum of 8 so that Heather has time to spend with you all individually during the day.

The training course focuses on creative ideas rather than technical advice, however Heather will be available all day for those who need more practical help with their camera, and there will be some one to one time available.

We have lunch together (reasonably priced local restaurant not included in price), more shooting on the Pier and then back to Silicon Beach Training to briefly discuss your images.

We will also look at Lightroom just to see what the possibilities are and discuss editing options. There will be a computer available for everyone should you need it though bringing your own laptop would mean that any work we do on an image will be yours to take away. All your kit will be safely locked away so you don't have to carry it around.

The course was extremely well prepared, Heather is very knowledgeable, the theory was outlined in the class supported by actual photos, and then demonstrated in the field. We all were given individual attention by Heather,and the day was finished by analysis of our photos and retouching them. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Definitely recommended for anyone interested in or wanting to improve their street photography skills. Thank you Heather for such a wonderful day, and for passing on your knowledge and tricks. The course was really good and I enjoyed it tremendously.

I recently attended the Street Photography workshop with Heather Buckley. The workshop was fun and friendly, Heather was a great teacher and spent time with all of us in turn, giving us ideas and encouraging us to approach people to ask them if we could take their photograph out on the street. Heather is an inspiration and full of energy, the day was fun with a relaxing lunch and friendly-like minded people.
