The Miami Street Photography Festival (MSPF)

MSPF is an international three day event and exhibit, showcasing the best of contemporary street photography from around the world.

http://www.miamistreetphotographyfestival.org Street photographers use their keen sense of observation to capture compelling candid moments in the everyday life of strangers, whether it be a gesture, facial expression, action or scene. It is often likened to a mirror held up to society...it reflects reality. There is no set-up involved, no manipulation of the scene and very little or no post-proce

ssing of the image. This realism has provided an accurate and insightful record of street culture throughout the world. With images portraying everything from the ugly, gritty side of life to more humorous situations, they are moments that unless captured, might otherwise go unnoticed. At the heart of street photography is the 'decisive moment'. This is the split second when an image becomes complete in its composition - when each element of the image is in balance, in context and essential to the scene. This is when the shutter is released and the moment is captured forever.

The Five Levels and the Three Styles of Street Photography,
Street photography Workshop
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
with Juan Jose Reyes
September 14-19, 2024
ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT

Join us for an exciting street photography workshop in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico with Juan Jose Reyes, founder and Executive Director of the Miami Street Photography Festival. This workshop is designed around the now-famous Five Levels and Three Styles of Street Photography method developed by Juan after ten years of working directly with world-class photographers at the Miami Street Photography Festival.

The picturesque town of San Miguel de Allende has been selected as " Best City in the World" by Travel and Leisure Magazine and named as one of the top recommended travel destinations. In 2008 San Miguel de Allende was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  

In Mexico, September is considered the “mes de la patria” (the month of the nation) because it is when they celebrate one of the most important holidays in their calendar, Independence Day (September 15th and 16th). All throughout the country there are celebrations, but in San Miguel de Allende, the festivities are extra important because of the role that Ignacio Allende played in Mexico’s fight for independence from Spain. Parades, music, patriotic fervor, dancing in the streets, men falling from tall poles with ropes around their ankles, bulls, beauty queens, and fireworks.   

  In this workshop, Juan will review basic and advanced concepts of street photography and how to create images that are interesting and compelling.  He will teach a framework for shooting and editing street photography designed to help you identify photos with the potential to win photo contests based on Juan's experience overseeing the judging panel of the largest street photography contest in the world, The Miami Street Photography Festival contest, which is widely recognized as the event that showcases the best of contemporary street photography.
