Free Street Photography series

The Radford Photo Club will offer programs on Street Photography at the January 19, February 15, and March 16 meetings, to include a presentation, conversation, assignment, contest, and critique. “The series will be interactive, not technical,” said Professional Photographer Adi Ben Senior, who will lead the program.

The programs are at 6 p.m. at the Radford Public Library.

In January, Ben Senior will talk about what Street Photography is, the techniques and approach. At the February meeting, there will be a review of equipment, what to bring, wear, and do, and what not to bring, wear, and do. There will be conversation and an assignment. In March, those who did the assignment will each share three of their photos on the projector and talk about the experience.

“In January we will look at some of the earliest Street Photography photos,” he said. “In February, we will look at newer photos. You will see that people notice, and sometimes they yell. It’s not a studio.”

“The rules are simple: ‘be ready’ and ‘get close’,” he said.
