Street photography workshops with Chris Harrison

The most interesting photo opportunities often appear when you least expect them. My street photography workshops will help you develop the mindset and skills you’ll need to meet those moments with confidence – so when they do come along, you’ll be ready to capture whatever chance puts in front of you.

What you’ll gain from the workshop

Reconnect with the joy of looking

In a time when AI can create images in seconds, putting on a pair of comfortable shoes and heading out into the streets – without knowing what you might find – feels like an act of rebellion. With a camera in hand and a spirit of curiosity, street photography gives you permission to slow down and embrace the world with a readiness to be surprised.

Break through creative blocks

If you’ve been photographing the same subjects on repeat or feel stuck in a rut, this workshop offers a chance to give yourself a reset. Together, we’ll explore fresh approaches to composition, experiment with seeing beyond the obvious, and discover new inspiration in the ordinary. The goal isn’t perfection – it’s experimentation, so both you and your photography keep evolving instead of standing still.

Experiment and rediscover your inspiration

This workshop is about noticing what genuinely catches your eye. For a while, we’ll set aside familiar street photography tropes – not because they’re off-limits, but to avoid relying on them out of habit. While there’s nothing wrong with the classic approaches, the goal is to use them more intentionally and to challenge ourselves to look at the world a little more deeply.

Grow confidence in your creative vision

More than anything, these workshops are about developing a sharper instinct for what you find visually interesting. By the end, you’ll see the streets with fresh eyes, cultivate a deeper sense of creative confidence, and leave with practical techniques you can use to make strong, personal photographs every time you head out with your camera.

Questions and answers

  • No prior experience is necessary. The workshop is designed for all levels, from beginners to experienced photographers looking to refresh their skills or find new inspiration.

  • Any digital camera will do – DSLR, mirrorless, or even a compact camera. The important thing is that you're comfortable using it. Bring a spare battery and a couple of memory cards.

  • Yes. You’ll receive a portfolio review before the workshop and feedback throughout the sessions, including a final image review on the last day.

  • Street photography is all about embracing unpredictability – and that includes the weather! We’ll still shoot outdoors (within reason), and we’ll make the most of rainy conditions. Bring a raincoat, just in case.

  • We’ll be walking quite a bit throughout Brighton, but at a relaxed pace. If you have any concerns about mobility or stamina, feel free to contact me to talk that through in advance.

  • The price includes the pre-workshop online session, the full workshop experience, portfolio review, hands-on coaching, and feedback sessions. Travel, meals, and accommodation are not included. I recommend booking your accommodation sooner rather than later – Brighton is a popular destination for weekend breaks in the summer months.

  • To keep things personal and hands-on, group sizes are restricted to 6 participants.
