About this course

Street Photography 101 is a clear, beginner-friendly guide to seeing the world with fresh eyes. Instructor Dave Krugman will keep gear simple (think one small camera and a prime lens), show you how to spot patterns and anticipate “The Decisive Moment,” plus help you work with any light – from sunny afternoons to rainy nights – using easy settings like Shutter Priority. You’ll pick up real-world tips on color, composition and respectful candid shooting, then learn a stress-free workflow: shoot RAW, do quick rating passes, and apply light, darkroom-style edits for a consistent look. Along the way, you’ll build small themed sets that grow into stories you’re proud to share. No perfection needed – just practice, curiosity and a little daily shooting.
