The colorful graffiti and the stark interor of the building provide an excellent opportunity to photograph
contrast.
While Andy was teaching, this man approached us and stuck around, intently listening to the workshop
before finding a new group to talk to.
I love how the three photographers all seem to be wearing the same combination of black raincoats on
blue jeans. Their “uniform,” plus the fact you can’t see their faces, really suggests how photography is, at
its core, rather invasive.
I was able to snap a quick photo of this man as he hurried down the street.
A man walks his dog down Liberty Street while carrying his banjo and guitar.
Andy’s tips on using reflections and glare to create a scene really came in handy here.
As students of the University of Michigan, it’s easy to forget that this town
isn’t made up of solely 20-something-year-old transplants. On Saturday,
CameraMall — a local camera shop — hosted a street photography
workshop taught by Andy Shields, a Detroit-based street photographer.
With students fleeing town for fall break, this presented an opportunity to
capture members of the Ann Arbor community.
