About This Event

A photography workshop focusing on Vivian Maier is held at Waterstone Bookstore in London on 24 October 2026. The session explores Maier's street shots and self-portraits while examining her style and historical significance. Participants learn about her craft and how it allows for a different perspective on photography.

This shoot in the style workshop focuses on the incredible work of Vivian Maier who has only recently been revealed as one of the most significant photographers of the 20th century. But there is much more to this story than meets the eye, it can be described as: **A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.** Maier's craft and vision far surpassed that of any part-time hobbyist and although considered reclusive, she produced a vast collection of street shots and many experimental self-portraits. Her work is infused with wit, humour and a deep sense of humanity. Join us for a session that will help build your knowledge of some of the greatest photographers in recent history. You will learn who they were, what they did and why they are important. You will also learn to understand their style of photography which will potentially allow you to see things a little differently. You’ll have loads of fun while working through a set of exercises to help hone your eye. EXPERIENCE Any level of experience is welcome WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: * History of the photographer and of photography * Photographers style * Technical settings * Build confidence shooting street EQUIPMENT: * Any camera * A standard 18-55 kit lens will do or use a 70-200 for candid shots OTHER ESSENTIALS * A fun and experimental attitude!
