I have never attended any former training or had any pro guidance in photography. As a sound guy I know nuts about photography and since started 5 years or so , I never use ,own or has the ability to buy a camera ,but I always have the urge to record the pulses of every moment out in the streets. Out of the messiness , there's always a rhythm, a beat that I am always hungry for . A moment where everything falls into the groove and things gets really groovy .












Hope can pick up some skills and tips

Reason(s): Being a (often) broke student who never really could afford to attend courses, I have always sought to pick up photography pointers from examining photos from the various photographers that I like and thinking about what it is technically that made the particular shot good. From time to time, I have tried to incorporate some of these aspects into my own work (i.e. ensure that my photos tell a story). Hence, I will like to attend this course so that I can be properly directed in my learning, rather than depend solely on my own conjecture.

Thanks for the kind consideration.

Street photography is new to me, but it holds a very raw and emotional appeal. 99% of the street shots will fail, but the one decisive moment never seize to capture my imagination. I hope to translate my vision into powerful images that tell a story, and I hope to learn from the best to realize this dream.

Reason: I will love to learn more about street photography and improve my skills. Being a student, all the knowledge I have comes from google. I look at street photographs that I like and try to learn about the reasons why it is a good photograph. I do not have any form of formal training/education on street photography and I hope that this will be a chance for me to learn and become a better street photographer.

WHY: Street photography is a personal journey, I hope to excel to the next level by going through the IPA workshop.
