Saturday Forum | Street Photography: The Imaginary, the Tangible, and the Obvious
Do we understand pictures we see? Is there more than one meaning of every photograph? This presentation will be a colourful journey into the implications, contexts, motives, and variations of street photography. We will explore the work of various photographers and learn how to interpret and understand street photography images from the perspective of a practicing photographer.
