Learn on the street
Small, street-focused workshops and mentoring for photographers who want to move past tourist pictures into deliberate, authored work.
In-person NYC workshops begin from September 2026, and 1:1 mentoring is available online now.
We’ll work on how you see, how you move, and how you edit, so your photographs hold together as more than one-off lucky frames.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not at all. Both the workshops and mentoring are designed for people at different stages—from someone who just bought their first camera to someone who’s been shooting for years and feels stuck. If you know how to turn your camera on and you’re curious about seeing more intentionally, you’re ready.
-
Whatever you shoot with. Street photography is about seeing, not gear. A digital camera is ideal for workshops because we can review photos on the day. Bring a charged battery or two or three, an empty memory card, and comfortable shoes. We’ll be walking.

Completely normal. I still feel it. The difference between nervous and confident isn’t that the nervousness disappears—it’s that you learn how to work with it, or around it. A big part of what we practice is how to be present in a scene without being intrusive, how to read body language, and how to photograph people in a way that respects them. And in no way will photographing strangers be core to what we do together on the street.
-
We go anyway. Some of the best street photography happens in rain—wet pavement, umbrellas, reflected light, people moving with purpose instead of wandering. I’ll confirm with you the day before. If conditions are truly unsafe, we reschedule; otherwise, bring a jacket and a sense of humor.
-
No. New York is where we meet, but the exercises are designed so you can repeat them in any city: noticing light, rhythm, gesture, and relationships in the frame; working a scene instead of firing one frame and moving on; editing and sequencing your work into something that holds together. You should leave with tools you can use wherever you live.
-
Yes. 1:1 mentoring happens online and is open to photographers anywhere. We meet on Zoom, review your work, and focus on the specific questions you have—whether that’s seeing, editing, projects, or portfolio development.
Why Walk With Me
I’ve spent years walking cities with a camera, long before I could explain exactly what I was doing.
The technical part came early enough—aperture, shutter speed, all the knobs and dials. What took time was learning to see: how to stand on a corner in New York and recognize the frame that’s already there—the shadow waiting for a passerby, the small gesture, the geometry between two strangers who don’t know they’re composing a picture together.
That shift didn’t happen in isolation. It came from being around other photographers—in workshops and festivals, in galleries, online and on the street. They let me watch how they saw, and that changed how I saw. These workshops are my way of passing that on: practical ways of seeing and working that you can use in New York or in whatever city you call home.
