Introduction to Street Photography

Start by meeting Gustavo Minas, who since 2009 has been photographing the cities he visits. He introduces you to the essential authors of street photography and everything you will learn throughout the course.

See how to make a photo shoot with a central theme, about a place in your daily life or any city you visit. Get an introduction to the photographic language and discover which elements such as lights, shadows, reflections, characters, gestures, and looks can be decisive in the creation of striking images that veer away from traditional representations.

Street photography is also learned by practicing. Join your teacher in real situations around the city. In this tour, Gustavo addresses issues such as equipment, choosing a place to photograph, and how to deal with the reactions of the subject.

In the post-production stage, Gustavo shows you how to select and classify your images. See examples of how to improve them by adjusting light and shadows, contrast, tone, specific color control, sharpening, and noise reduction.

Finally, learn about various outputs for your work. Gustavo explains notions of social media strategy, going through the definition of a session, up to its online publication.
