Edinburgh Fringe Street Photography Tour

  • 13th - 14th August, 2024

  • £895.00 / £200.00 Deposit

  • Approximately - Loading...

Our Edinburgh Fringe street photography tour will coincide with the famous annual Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, and will be led by Mark Seymour and Flavio Bosi.

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival draws an eclectic abundance of weird, wonderful, and interesting performers to photograph on the street. But what will really capture your attention is the interaction between the performers and their audiences, with the historic buildings of Edinburgh providing a wonderful backdrop to the myriad of cultural and bizarre artistic interpretations you find yourself confronted by.  We will be there to document it all with our camera.

Mark & Flavio will share with you their approach to shooting events and help you hone your own photography skills to be able to consider the impact of composition, lighting, angles and positioning to enable you to capture the characters and spectacle of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Included is a 1-hour zoom session to review your pictures after the tour.

Edinburgh Fringe Street Photography Tour

Edinburgh Fringe Street Photography Tour
Our Edinburgh Fringe photography tour will be concentrating on documenting the artists, the public and their interactions in a street photography style. The Fringe Festival presents us with many acts along the streets at every time of day, an incredible number of quirky and interesting characters, droves of tourists and spectators. This will create endless opportunities for us to create a set of images that tells the story of the festival, making it an exciting playground for the photographer, rife with opportunities to create rich and interesting compositions.

We will meet in the morning of the first day to introduce ourselves and for an initial briefing in which Mark and Flavio will talk about what to look for, how to compose the images, the techniques that will help you get the best results over the two days. We will then set out to explore the streets of the Fringe Festival and start shooting. Mark and Flavio will always be with one of the attendees each to allow for plenty of 1-to-1 time with each participant over the two days.

Mark and Flavio will help you to get more confident in getting close to people and create more intimate frames, work the scenes and wait for that decisive moment and frame it in in the most effective way.

Edinburgh Fringe Photography Tour

Jugglers, acrobats, clowns, musicians and everything in between: these acts performed on the street and the circles of spectators around them will create a wonderful backdrop to document a festival that is fascinating and exciting at the same time.

Within a week of the end of the tour Mark and Flavio will review 5 of the best images for every participant on a group Zoom call: this is one of the most important learning experiences of the tour. You will understand what works, why and what the strengths and weaknesses of your images are. You will also learn from everyone else’s images. This is a powerful tool for improving your photography and we can’t stress enough the importance of participating.

The tours led by Mark and Flavio are based on street, travel and documentary photography.

 Mark and Flavio aim to take the participants to the next level in their photographic journey. The tours are structured in a way that will enable the participant not only to photograph extensively, but also to practice all the techniques and tips that are taught at the beginning of each tour. Mark and Flavio pride themselves in offering extensive 1-to-1 tutoring time with each of the participants, helping each of them in their personal journey in the street, travel and documentary photography style. Image editing, processing and reviewing are another area where Mark and Flavio will help the participants improve their final output, be it a book or simply their own personal enjoyment.

Participating in a tour with Mark and Flavio will make you become a better photographer.

What gear will be needed?

We normally shoot light with one camera body and a single prime lens. Any camera model/make will be fine, but we encourage the use of a prime lens of choice, among 28mm, 35mm or 50mm in full frame terms (that would be around 18mm, 23mm and 35mm in APS-C terms). If you only have a zoom lens it’s fine, but we strongly encourage you to decide a focal length for the day and stick to it.

Spare batteries, two is better, and charged! Spare SD cards, formatted, enough memory to take a lot of images. No flash, tripods, long and telephoto lenses will be needed: travel light and you will enjoy the day much more.

Included is a 1-hour zoom session to review your pictures after the tour.

NOTE: It will be possible to book this tour without hotel accommodation. Please email the office for more information or to arrange that.

Luxury Editions

Essentially, a Luxury Editions tour is an exclusive micro learning group with five star tuition and treatment in all aspects of the tour. Each year a small number of ‘Luxury Editions’ tours will run where the group numbers no more than four photographers per tutor. Here the learning approach is more intensive where the leader is able to offer constant ‘hands-on guidance’ allowing them an opportunity to work in depth with each individual photographer in addition to working with the group on a collective basis. In addition to this, the accommodation will be of a high standard and special extras will be included. These tours are only taught by our long standing leaders who have years of experience and are highly sought after. If you would like to join a Luxury Edition tour, then the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Off the Beaten Track

Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tours cater for those more adventurous photographers who would like to get off the beaten track and explore roads untrodden or delve into the culture of a place. Groups are small and you can be assured that although the tour leader will have an in-depth knowledge of the location, you may veer off track if an unplanned photography opportunity presents itself! The tuition is five star on these tours. The accommodation varies on these tours from mid range hotels, shared cabins on a ship to basic and clean camps. Our priority is to get you to the best locations in time for the best shot and if this means camping half way up a mountain then so be it! Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tutors will have experience and knowledge of the area, so you can be assured that you will be completely taken care off to allow you to concentrate on that award winning image. If you would like to join an ‘Off the Beaten Track’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. We do also ask that you have a good level of fitness as these tours could involve a large amount of walking. Check each tours description for requirements.

Classic

Our Classic tours are aimed at those who wish to discover unique locations, but at a more leisurely pace than the Off the Beaten Track tours. There will be ample time to immerse yourself in the location and spend time on your photography. Classic tours also focus on sunrise and sunset (which are optional for those who like to sleep in!) and have a slightly larger group size (max 8 per tutor) to allow the social side of photography to be appreciated. Tuition is five star and hotels are mid-high range depending on the tour. Every classic tour is different so do refer to the tour description for details of accommodation and locations visited. If you would like to join a ‘Classic’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

Our tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the location and will take you to undiscovered spots to ensure you come away with a varied selection of images that you are proud of. If you would like to join a ‘City’ tour, the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.
