Melbourne Street Photography Workshop - Special Introductory Price

Melbourne Street Photography Workshop (March 8th-9th 2025) with Hashem McAdam

Join me on the streets of Melbourne during Moomba weekend, for a practical 2-day workshop. I love engaging with the world through street photography and sharing my passion with like-minded photographers. Drawing from my 10+ years of experience shooting at home and abroad, my approach is about being present and learning to "see" on the streets.

📍 Location: Melbourne CBD
🎟️ Limited Spots Available – First workshop introductory price, Maximum 5 students

📺 Includes a one-hour video call consultation and portfolio review.

What You'll Learn

✅ How to improve your confidence on the street
✅ Techniques for candid capture vs interaction
✅ Technical skills for digital or film capture
✅ Ethical considerations when photographing strangers.
✅ The significance of "being present" on the street

This workshop is ideal for beginners and enthusiasts looking to refine their street photography skills.

Schedule & Inclusions

1. Pre-workshop video call consultation to assess your current position and goals
2. Full-day workshop and guided walk on Saturday. This will start with a morning meet and greet over coffee. We'll hit the streets with Melbourne's Moomba festival in full swing, allowing plenty of photo opportunities. We'll take breaks for lunch and dinner during the day.
3. Second-day guided walk on Sunday. We'll start after lunch, break for dinner and shoot into nightfall (for those who are keen enough!)
4. Hands-on feedback
5. Post-workshop review 

What you'll need

• Your own camera of choice (digital, film, or smartphone). You may bring multiple cameras, but I recommend focusing on one tool. 
• Spare batteries/film
• Suitable shoes for a lot of walking (important!)
• Weather-appropriate clothing/gear
• The workshop does not include any gear, consumables, meals, acommodation, or travel expenses
• A full checklist and schedule will be provided during the video call

Questions/ follow-up

Please use the contact page to send any specific enquiries regarding the workshop. Extended information will be provided by email to ticket purchasers. In the meantime, here are some FAQs:

1. Why only 5 students? It's important for me to have sufficient one-on-one time with individual participants, thus the smaller group size. As my first-time workshop, I've set the cap lower with the potential to increase it in the future.
2. What if I didn't receive an email after purchase? You will receive a shop order confirmation, followed by a separate email from me to set up your video call. If you don't receive either of these, please check your spam/junk folder or use the contact form to get in touch. 
3. What happens if it rains? We go ahead, rain hail or shine. In my opinion, that is the dynamic nature of street photography, and what often creates the best results and experience. If you don't think you're willing or equipped, that is okay. With prior notification, we can discuss options (such as transferring your spot to a future workshop).
4. What if I want to shoot on film? Shooting entirely on film is welcome. Naturally, this will make the review of images difficult during the weekend. However, this can be deferred to post-workshop. 
5. Can I get a refund after purchase? Given the short lead time for the March 2025 workshops, I encourage you to discuss any concerns or likelihood of cancellation as soon as possible. Depending on the notice time, and whether your spot can be filled, I will be happy to discuss options such as refund or credit.
