Resources for Street Photographers

street photography 6 week online course

Here are a number of really useful Street Photography resources used to support our street photographers workshops and our regular (RPS) Royal Photographic Society Zoom based 6 x week workshop.

I’m Simon Ellingworth, have 9 International Photography Awards,  I’m the TradeSecrets.live and the Royal Photographic Society’s lead Street Photography Educator.

All images are mine and shot during live workshops.

Having lost over 60,000 followers in a single sentence on Facebook & Instagram, I’d appreciate a follow on my new Instagram 😉
Unless you also want to commit social media suicide, I’d highly recommend avoiding posting a sentence containing the words: “Shooting people in the street…killer shots” on Facebook!
