Shoot faster. Think less. Capture more. In this hands-on workshop, we'll dive deep into the timeless technique of zone focusing - a powerful tool that lets you pre-set your focus distance and shoot at the speed of life, without relying on autofocus. Whether you shoot with an analog camera, a digital camera and a manual lens, a Leica rangefinder, or simply want to become more intuitive in your street photography, zone focusing gives you speed, stealth, and clarity in unpredictable environments. We'll cover how it works, when to use it, and how to train your eye and instinct to trust the process. By the end, you'll walk away with a sharper understanding - literally and figuratively - of how to capture fleeting street moments with confidence and control. We'll cover theory, demo techniques, and then hit the streets for guided practice. This workshop is perfect for photographers who want to slow down in order to shoot faster. Let's get you in the zone.
