Delta Photo Club (DPC) is pleased present “An Introduction to the Art of Street Photography”, a workshop by acclaimed photographer and long-time DPC member Francois Cleroux on Wednesday, May 3 on Zoom starting at 7:30 p.m.
In this two-hour class, Cleroux will present a quick history of street photography, discuss what street photography is and isn’t as well as why it’s important for you to understand what street photography is for you. He will further cover being comfortable photographing people, gear and settings, as well as the compositional and artistic elements that make for great street photography.
Cleroux has been doing photography since the eighth grade. His images have been published in magazines in Europe, India, North America, and on the cover of Popular Photography magazine and Photo magazine. He has exhibited works in Canada, the USA, and India and has taught in Europe and the USA.
He loves creating images from very simple minimalist works to very large complex installations. Although most of his artistic projects are personal and not shared, he has created “tabulaRASA”, a photographic artists’ collective, which is helps other artists create, cultivate, and refine their works and projects. Francois has started a Photographic Artists Mentorship Program.
In recent years he has pursued his passion for street photography. He established www.StreetsIHaveWalked.com to promote street photography in the Vancouver area and offers a free self-paced street photography class.
For DPC Club members in good standing, this session will be followed with outings guided by Cleroux. Additionally, there will be a “Show and Tell” session to discuss images submitted by the members from the outings.
The link for Zoom will be sent out in the afternoon of May 3.
