Approaching strangers in the street with a camera feels daunting. Host Paul Crawford welcomes PAGB judge Barbie Lindsay to show us how she tackles the craft with a calm, sensible approach.

This session marks the first instalment of a two-part series, and booking your place today reserves your seat for part two in a fortnight.

Barbie works almost entirely with natural daylight. She leaves heavy lighting gear behind and focuses on the interplay between passing characters and the surrounding architecture.

Her background spans decades of hands-on shooting across many genres, giving her a sharp eye for spontaneous moments that actually work.

Good portraits demand patience. Barbie talks through the practical realities of shooting in busy public spaces, demonstrating how small shifts in position yield far cleaner results.

You will pick up sensible advice on reading street light, scouting promising locations, and approaching people without fuss. It takes real nerve.

Her straightforward suggestions will give you plenty of fresh ideas for your next outing, whether you already photograph people or simply want to try something new.

Please note: This is a two-part event; by registering for Part 1, you will be automatically registered for Part 2 on 3rd December 2026.
