2 Day Street Photography Workshop with Matt Stuart

​

The workshop will primarily focus on practical, hands-on experiences and will take place in the vibrant streets of Hyderabad, offering participants a unique opportunity to engage with the city’s rich culture and dynamic atmosphere. Under the guidance of Matt, students will explore a variety of themes and exercises specifically designed to enhance their understanding of what constitutes a great street photograph. These exercises will encourage them to think critically about their surroundings and identify the key elements that contribute to compelling imagery. By narrowing down the variables such as composition, light, and subject matter, students will learn how to capture powerful moments that tell a story.

​

To make the most of this immersive experience, participants should come prepared with a solid working knowledge of their cameras and a good pair of walking shoes, allowing them to navigate the bustling streets comfortably. With extensive experience traveling the globe to teach street photography, Matt is particularly excited to return to India, where he can share his insights and techniques with a new group of aspiring photographers. This workshop promises not only to enhance participants' technical skills but also to deepen their appreciation for the art of storytelling through photography, leaving them inspired and equipped to capture the essence of life on the streets.

About Matt Stuart

Born in 1974, Matt Stuart was raised in the leafy suburbs of Harrow, North West London. He admits to a less than distinguished school career, but was called upon aged 11 to play a trumpet solo in front of the Queen Mother. Her Majesty’s reaction is not recorded. A little later, in 1986, Matt discovered skateboarding after watching the film “Back to the Future”. Skating occupied his every waking moment until 1994, when he looked up from the half-pipe and noticed that girls had got a lot more interesting. He also indulged in a brief, ill-advised affair with Kung Fu. Matt’s father, keenly aware that his son would never be the next Bruce Lee, introduced him to photography, handing over books by Robert Frank & Henri Cartier-Bresson. Ever since then, photography has been Matt’s overriding passion, although he’s still quite interested in skateboards and girls. (But thankfully not Kung Fu).
