Our course is unique and will get you taking far better street photographs than the majority of "street photographers".

Don't be scared of feeling that your photos are just average or that photographing strangers is impossible.

The reason your photographs aren't what you want them to be is because you've never received training !

Did you start by spending large amounts of money on a camera but then found yourself taking photos of just your family and pets?

If so, and if you're adventurous, come and join us and learn how to take proper street photographs.

Unlike nearly all other photo courses, we don't meet under a statue at Trafalgar square, herd you around the streets of London and then send you home.

We first spend several hours in a quiet room on Fleet Street, gently critiquing your own photos and viewing the course on a state of the art projector.

We'll then teach you how to safely photograph strangers and then we review the pictures we send you out to take on the day.

What To Expect

This Workshop is a unique experience. You want to be an outstanding street photographer ? We can help you get there ! It's understandable If you're uncomfortable with taking pictures on the street or think your photos are just average - it's because you've never been received any training. Scared photographing strangers? We'll show you how to safely do it. You should expect a full solid day of shooting, lectures, critiquing, discussing and breathing photography with Cyrus and Marc at their rooms and on the streets around Fleet Street, London. We'll spend time going through your photographs, sent in the night before, discussing what's good in them and offering gentle advice. We'll also cover composition, the importance of the subject and how to give pictures impact using light and colour. During the workshop you'll be sent out on assignments. There will be more criticism of your work. You will be forced to look at our work (criticism of our is optional). There will be talks to help you avoid the problems that plague you. There won’t be enough time to do all the shooting, editing, critiquing, talking, and looking at our work that you’ll want to do. You'll be overwhelmed.

I found the street photography materials shared by Cyrus and Marc to be informative and interesting. It’s a series of content on the history, and techniques for street photography including some live (friendly :)) critiques of attendees work. There is also time to go out and shoot during the workshop to help cement some of the learnings. Would recommend for any beginner to intermediate looking to get into, or crystallise some of their learnings in street photography

The workshop was a highlight of my trip to London. I appreciated the feedback they provided on my work and the instruction we received on how to capture great street images. I would recommend a workshop with Cyrus and Marc to anyone with a beginner to intermediate level of experience with their camera.
Really useful and informative workshop!

Really useful and informative workshop! I only just started getting into photography more seriously in the past year so this workshop was super helpful and well-structured with its mix of theory and practice. It was rather insightful to hear Marc and Cyrus' critique of my photos taken on the day and of photos taken in the past during my travels. It has definitely allowed me to view and critique my photos through a different lens so I know what to look out for the next time I am going on shoots. Most importantly, Marc and Cyrus provided many useful tips that have helped build my confidence in approaching street photography as before I was wary of photographing strangers. *Added bonus - you can also learn a lot about the history of the streets of London from them!

Interesting approach to guidance on street photography. Included a critique session of photos submitted in advance provided a third party view. Useful reminders for basic pointers for creative street photography.
Informative, fun and well thought out

I found the workshop to be very well structured and informed, with different topics covered that I wouldn't have thought of. The dynamic was also relaxed yet to the point which I liked. I'd never tried street photography before and one of the things I was nervous about was photographing strangers, and their advice put me at ease and I will definitely be going out to try more. I travel rather a lot with my work, so will be taking my camera with me more. Can definitely recommend!
Really good, useful and thoroughly enjoyable workshop.

This was a really great workshop. Very well planned for the time available, the content was interesting and useful, the presentation had a good mix of humour and seriousness and participation by attendees was varied and well thought out. Members with different personalities were all sensitively responded to and we were given both encouragement and serious critique. This review would be more rounded if I could think of any negatives - sorry but there just weren’t any! I for one would like more.
