Drawing from the rich history of those photographers who have taken to the streets, we will examine the history and the practice, putting these methodologies and ideas into effect by traveling to various locales around Berkeley in addition to photographing onsite. You will learn shooting techniques such as body position, rapid reaction, shot preparation, as well as how to choose which shooting mode to use in different situations.
