Street Photography

Saturday 23 September
River North Art District - 11am - 2 Hours
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you. We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    James Dailey
    James Dailey is currently based in Colorado Springs, but grew up in Pueblo, Colorado.

    He's obsessed with photography and experiencing new cultures. His goal is to visit every continent before he turns 40.

    He first picked up a camera as a little kid, snapping and winding that disposable camera like he had a vision. He realized how much he loved taking pictures while he was in the Army, and though he didn't quite make the jump then, while he was working in corrections, he realized he could really do something with his pictures.

    He took the leap of faith and here he is, years after starting to post pictures while in the army, working to support his addiction to photograph, and sharing his adventures with the world.

    James Dailey is available for private bookings

    Available most Saturdays from 2pm until 6pm.
    Private tutoring, portraits, and boudoir.
