Who is Siegfried Hansen?

Siegfried is one of the 45 world-famous street photographers according to the book “Street Photography Now”.

He is regarded by many as a master of street photography. Siegfried resides and shoots in his German hometown of Hamburg yet it is in Japan, while he was living as an expat in Tokyo, that he got bitten by the photography bug.

How it works

The participants take pictures every day, working in pairs or on their own. Siegfried shoots with different people each day, so there will be opportunities to observe the way he works and approaches subjects, and to learn his tricks and techniques. During the workshop Siegfried presents a series of pictures, discussing street photography and its practical aspects. Siegfried, an experienced and well known street photographer, shares his theoretical and practical knowledge. The main theme of the workshop is street photography, mixed with documentary and fine art photography. Daily critiques of freshly taken photos. Each workshop day ends with the group working on their laptops choosing photos to be shown to Siegfried and then discussing them with him. The workshop ends with a final editing session and Siegfried selects the best photos from each participant. Several educational lectures about the practical aspects of street photography presented by Siegfried on separate days.

What we’ll Shoot

Ask Siegfried about street photography and he would tell you a story respectful of people where the graphics and colors of the world around create eye catching connections hidden in plain sight. Tokyo is fertile land for street photography: a new story unfolds at every street corner.
