Significant Images In Everyday Life

How to pack powerful emotion and meaning into photos of ordinary people living ordinary lives 

Wedding, news, advocacy, or corporate photography requires more than just split-second reflexes. One must be able to recognize that single instant when the characters and elements in an unstructured, impromptu scene merge into a significant image. This is the reason some news photographs and street photographs of ordinary life remain etched in memory. They pack powerful meaning into a single photo, and also invite the viewer to read his own experiences in the photo. Multi-awarded photojournalist Edwin Tuyay will show you how to take photographs that editors love, even if they are just photos of ordinary life and ordinary people. 

What will be covered

what street/life photography is and isn’t
identifying the right place and right time in any scene or event
recognizing the story element in a scene, and the single significant moment

dealing with people in a scene
staying out of sight at close quarters
thinking like an editor
the staple equipment of the street/life photographer

Who will benefit

current and would-be wedding photographers, news photographers, and advocacy photographers
industrial and corporate photographers
journalists and public relations practitioners
documentary photographers and videographers
