Brighton 2-day street photography workshop

During the workshop, Chris provides a space to review portfolios and discuss individual strengths and areas for growth. The group also heads out onto the streets of Brighton, where Chris gives each participant one-to-one time to explore their creative goals. The beauty of a small group (six people max) is that participants also learn from each other in a safe and encouraging atmosphere. The day involves walking, talking, observing, and making photos – with breaks for rest and a bite along the way.

Having lived in Brighton since 2001, Chris knows the streets, the light, and the city’s energy intimately. He can show unexpected spots where he has made award-winning photographs, share the stories behind them, and explain how he trained his eye to spot compelling moments.

For those feeling stuck, this workshop is an excellent starting point to overcome creative blocks, break old habits, and take intentional steps toward discovering a unique creative voice. By the end of the day, participants leave with their creative tank full of inspiration, fresh ideas, and new ways of seeing.
