Brighton two-day workshop schedule
Brighton is a colourful, vibrant city, where no two corners are the same. There’s the charming, twisty Lanes – not to be confused with the hip and trendy North Laine; the buzzing seafront, iconic pier, and an eccentric royal palace. Whatever the weather, there’s always something happening: people enjoying cafés, buskers, protests, parties and parades. It’s a city that rewards careful observation, making it an ideal place to practise and develop your street photography.
