March 12th 2025 General Meeting: Making Street Photographs & Street Portraits with Kenneth Wadja

Street photography is all about strong storytelling. It’s photographs of candid moments of people in public, the kind that aren’t boring but rather dynamic and worthy of a ‘photographic tap on the shoulder:’ “Hey look at this, check this out, look what I saw!” and it better be worth their time, not just a photograph of a person walking down the street on their phone which makes them say, “So what? Who cares?” In this presentation, Kenneth will share the way he approaches street photography and will reveal how he created over 500 street portraits in the past seven months on film, from New York to California, by constructing a pop-up portrait studio in the street. He saw every passerby as a potential subject, getting them to agree to pose, directing their body and expression, all the while controlling the light.
