This workshop is part in-class lecture and part guided photo walk exploring vernacular architecture, signage and urban ephemera of the streets of Toronto. This workshop will explore the reoccurring visual motifs of street signs, telephone wires, neon and typographic details embedded in the city that define the works of seminal street photographers such as Walker Evans, Lee Freidlander, Steven Shore, William Eggleston and others. Students will receive hands-on feedback during the shooting process, helping with technical questions along practical and poetics use of light and space.
