As a photographer, how do we see? What makes people, places, and things so fascinating while simultaneously so intimidating? How do we identify and then approach scenes and subjects without disturbing the story?


Welcome to our Street Photography Intensive, where, after a brief technical review of photography and camera basics, participating photographers will embark on the local streets with cameras in hand. Each outing will offer the opportunity for an in-depth classroom review by our peers while diving into the careers of those photography giants in this field. Our overall goal is to strengthen our photographic skills and refine our ability to “see” while furthering our prowess on the street.


We will wrap the day with a much stronger understanding of street photography and how best to capture the world around us in a still image that speaks volumes.


LECTURE TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:




How do we anticipate an unfolding image without disturbing the narrative?


How to respect light and shadows?


How do we make peace with our surroundings?


The impact of color vs. black and white.


What strengthens an image?


How to perfect your timing on the street to ultimately tell the story that you intended?


How to develop a “style.”


As adults, what do we take for granted versus the magic that is often overlooked?


Reminders: Look up! Have patience! Bend your knees!

Todd is published internationally having shot for many top PR and commercial firms. He photographed the award-winning No Smoking campaign for the City of Los Angeles, covers for Black Belt Magazine and recent sessions with Cheryl Hines and presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. Todd was a fixture in the music scene working with the late Burt Bacharach, Quincy Jones, Scarlet Rivera, Tommy Eyre, Booker T. and a good handful of Grammy and Oscar winners. As a director, Todd’s scripted and documentary productions have screened in festivals around the world from Cannes to Los Angeles. Today many of these productions can be found on your favorite streaming services. Todd is an artist-in-residence as a directing member of the Actors Studio and is behind the upcoming stage adaptation of Dan Millman’s, Way of the Peaceful Warrior.


Forever a mentor, Todd created and supported curricula for a variety of nonprofits empowering hundreds of teen visual artists in challenged communities. Organizations include The Story Project, the Boys and Girls Clubs, the San Pedro Int. Film Festival, LACP, UCLA, HUD, and others.
