Nifty Fifty: Street Photography with a 50mm Lens
Sunday 18 May
Old Montreal - 10am - 2 Hours
Edwin Lam
Push your creative boundaries and see the streets through a new lens—literally! In this workshop, we'll challenge ourselves to shoot street photography using only a 50mm lens. Many photographers rely on zooms or wide primes (like 28mm or 35mm) for street work, but the 50mm brings a fresh perspective, demanding sharper composition and deeper connection with your subjects.
It's the perfect exercise to slow down, be more intentional, and train your eye to see the everyday with greater clarity and creativity.
