During this workshop, we shall focus on photographing the unique,\u00a0remaining\u00a0pockets of life that exist in the hutongs of central Qianmen district. Photographer Sean Gallagher will guide you through these maze-like communities to show you the best ways to approach and photograph the people and architecture. Along with tuition ‘on the street’ we will also cover the basics of photography before we\u00a0head\u00a0out, to make sure you are getting the most out of your camera.\u00a0Professional\u00a0guide and interpreter Jessica Zheng will be on hand at all times to offer you insights into the\u00a0background\u00a0and history of the hutongs and will also give a brief lesson in ‘Photography Chinese’, key words and phrases you need when photographing people.<\/p>\n
