  • Juxtapositions and Gems

    Have you got a flask of tea, a satsuma, and a warm scarf? Or maybe just a curious pair of eyes? In this relaxed, roaming lesson on street photography, I invite you to walk with me—literally—as we transform the entire world into the most glorious treasure hunt.

    Whether you’re snapping chewing gum on the pavement or catching a person mid-leap, this episode is all about how to see differently. We’ll talk about the joy of the candid, the surreal beauty of chance encounters, and how a juxtaposition can tell a whole story in a single frame. There’s music, there are tasks, and there’s freedom to play.

    This is a lesson for anyone and everyone—no fancy gear needed. Just ears, eyes, and maybe your phone.

    📸 I’d love to see your images if you want to share them with me!
