Photo Assignment with Richard Sexton: Miracle Mile | Sat. June 10, 2023
Free Event
DESCRIPTION
Join Richard Sexton at Leica Store Miami as we explore Miracle Mile and the city of Coral Gables. During this photo walk, Richard Sexton will give participants a brief photo assignment, while demonstrating his approach to "seeing" and capturing the excellent black and white compositions found in his work.
There are thousands of opportunities for Monochrome photography in Miami, learning to find these visual compositions is the focus of this walk.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Participants are expected to have good understanding their cameras as well as an understanding of basic image selection. Owning a Leica is not required, however, you must bring your personal camera for this photo walk (Leica Store Miami will not be loaning out cameras.) This is a rain or shine walk, so you will need to be prepared for the weather.
NOTES
The experience involves a good amount of walking. During the photo walk, participants should expect to walk at least 5 miles as we move through the city looking for where light meets shadow and seeking out the dramatic and often fleeting moments of light on the streets of Miami.
Enrollment is strictly limited.
