Street Photography

Sunday 13 October
Castro Street - 5pm - 2 Hours
Uyen Ta
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Uyen Ta
    Growing up, Uyen had a passion for taking photos and developed a plan to start doing a photography business herself in the fashion industry after modeling for a year. Having worked with a model in a very well known agency in SF, she has decided to start teaching the basics and fundamentals of how the camera works. It has been a fun, exciting five to six year journey to getting where she was at and ever since then has semi retired from photography and been shifting towards working on other hobbies such as streaming, djing and hanging out with close friends and family. She is currently at UC Berkeley getting two degrees and planning to travel more! She loves her dog, Monty, and tries to make sure everybody has a pleasant experience in a group setting in this informal, fun and laid back structured meet up!

    Uyen Ta is available for private bookings

    Available most Saturdays and Sundays from 1pm until 7pm.

    White-tailed kites are skilled aerial predators known for their impressive midair prey transfers.The photo was taken on 06/18/2023 at 6:09 PM at a local park. The event occurred not too far from the nest. The male kite went to hunt a vole, then soared bock to deliver the prey to its juvenile chick in flight. With precision and agility, the receiving kite swoops in and grasps the prey from the talons of the other, often without either bird landing. This aerial exchange showcases the species'

    Title or Location: Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park, California
    On Aug 11, I went to Yosemite, and it was pure magic! The Northern Lights danced across the sky, a meteor shower sprinkled shooting stars, and Half Dome stood majestically beneath it all. I stayed there until 4:30 in the morning, continuously taking pictures of Half Dome. After 3:30, the number of shooting stars became more prominent, and more and more shooting stars became visible. The sky's color was amazing, slowly changing hues. Overall, it was a beautiful experience.

    I recently set up a photography studio in my condo and am trying to learn some portrait photography skills by watching YouTube video tutorials. Most of the time I'm using myself as a model. I actuate the camera shutter with a hand held bluetooth shutter release. With this shot I was testing a lighting setup that would create a "Rembrandt" lighting effect while at the same time bringing the light in from behind the subject...known as short lighting. When I was young I was into acting and am fasci
