Please Join Me for a Photo Walk/Workshop in SF’s Mission District: Learn travel photography techniques to capture a sense of place

Dear Readers,

I’ve added new dates weekly through the rest of the summer for my highly rated photo walk/workshop in San Francisco’s Mission District.  If you live in or will be visiting the SF Bay Area, please join me for this informative hands-on workshop.  This experience is suitable for photographers of any level from beginner through professional.  We will learn travel photography techniques that cover many photographic genres and can be applied to any location you visit to capture a strong sense of place.  I’m partnering with Airbnb Experiences to offer this series of special photo workshops.  More details can be found here: https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/227047.

About your host, Kyle
I’m a professional travel photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. A recent winner of the international competition Travel Photographer of the Year and shortlisted for the National Geographic Travel Photography Awards, I’ve shot in over 100 countries. My work has been published and exhibited widely. My passion is helping fellow photography enthusiasts learn to use their camera as a bridge to the local culture and land wherever we travel. When not traveling and teaching workshops around the world, I can be found capturing photos of the wonderful people and places around SF.
What we’ll do
Join a professional travel photographer as we explore one of SF’s last remaining true neighborhoods for a fun photo workshop filled with historic, architectural, artistic, and cultural attractions. The Mission District, named for the Spanish mission built there in 1776, is a vibrant Latino neighborhood that in recent years has undergone some gentrification, overlaying a hipster vibe on top of the still strong bedrock community. We approach our exploration as true travel photographers, not as tourists seeking “postcard shots”. I’ll share my award-winning tips and tricks to help you capture amazing images regardless of your experience level. The skills we practice today–covering many photographic genres including architectural, cityscapes, street, and portraiture–will give you a toolkit to draw from during your future travels. We seek a “sense of place” that roots our images to the place and the people we meet. In the middle of our walk, we rest our feet at a local cafe for an included coffee drink and the chance to review some of our photos. Our small group size allows for plenty of interaction and the chance to get your questions answered.
What I’ll provide
One coffee drink up to $5 ?

Kyle is awesome ,if you just have just one chance to join one Airbnb Experience in San Francisco, choose his.We had a lot of fun to explore the Mission District where is super great for the photography:the colorful walls, the secret spots only Kyle knows.This is a photography workshop, Let’s talk about photos.Kyle is so professional both for the knowledge and the skills, we have one of the best job in the world – Travel photographer, and we have so much words to share with the trips, the masters we like in photography history, he is a really good teacher, but very modest to say we can learn from each other.He capture some beautiful moments in the exploration together, and send me very quickly when he back,I will share some in my ins, you will feel excited when you see the color ,the moments he shoot, really cool.Kyle is a really nice & warm human being ,perfect host I ever met, always responsible for any of your questions, prepare very serious before we start, he already know my character/things I do best before we met, when we begin the tour, he share the informations he knows about the buildings, cultures, whatever…Thank you for all the things.I feel lucky to choose the experience which made me love SF more than before. 想要见识一下旧金山比较有趣,Cool,色彩丰富的一面,并且想要拍一些好看的照片,学习一下摄影知识的,都推荐这个行程。关键是摄影师人太好了,超级认真,会为这个体验准备到完美。我最初是被他封面的图片吸引了,就抱着好奇参加了一下,没想到收获了很多惊喜,也结识到了一个当地的好友。在咖啡馆喝一杯咖啡,在公园的高处俯瞰当地人的生活,和城市的悠然,双脚有力地走在这个街区里,穿过色彩斑斓的小巷,都是很美妙的体验。还能学到东西,收获摄影师的专业照片,极棒了。
