Workshops of street photography

This year we have a rich program for events. In addition to the lectures, exhibitions and screenings, two workshops by Ukrainian street photographers – Michael Palinchak (Kiev) and Taras Bychko (Lviv) — will be held as well.
The workshop consists of two parts. The first day will be devoted to the theory. You will find out what is a street photo, its place among other genres, their interconnection and influence. A short history of developing street photography in a global context and knowledge of trends in the development of modern street photography awaits you. Single or series frame shooting? We will talk about project thinking, the principles of selecting your own photos and self-analysis.
The practical part of the workshop is scheduled for the second day. It will be a walk around the city and photoshooting under the guidance of lecturers with further analysis and selection of footage. Within the confines of walking part, each participant will try to take the first steps in creating his own photo project. The lecturers will share the technical aspects and methods of shooting.
Two groups for the workshop work separately. Working language of WS — Ukrainian and /or Russian.
