Street Photography: Seeing, Connecting, and Telling Stories

Join us for our Visual Voices Educational Program Led by Kash Gaines, this workshop introduces participants to street photography as a tool for observation, storytelling, and human connection. Through discussion, demonstrations, and guided shooting exercises, participants will learn how to navigate public spaces with confidence while developing a personal photographic voice. Rather than focusing solely on technical camera skills, the workshop emphasizes curiosity, empathy, and learning to recognize meaningful moments unfolding in everyday life.
