About my Street Photography workshops

Street Photography uses the straight photography approach from which it derives. Street Photography is unbuilt photography, a photographer's challenge to himself, an attitude, a state of mind. Street Photography is a reflection of everyday life through the eye of a photographer capable of documenting routine while capturing the decisive moment, or what others are unable to notice. - Alex Coghe

If you ask me the reasons to attend a street photography workshop is so simple to answer: you will start to think your photos and in general photography in a different way. At least is what happens to my students. I have seen as a photographer and a photo coach how investing in a experience like my workshops is much better investment than buying a lot of cameras and lenses. A street photography workshop with me will give you a life-long training to take your photography and your vision to a different level.

Some testimonials say about attending my street photography workshops:

“The workshop with Alex is a day to remember as he is an engaging person, enthusiastic about his work and above all very well prepared. After having done a workshop with him, she begins to think differently about photography and photographic vision. Definitely an educational experience. It is more a day in which a seed is transmitted that can make a plant grow in those who intend to cure it, rather than 10 useless workshops that promise to create photographers. " Gianni Ranuio, Saronno

“Unforgettable and highly constructive experience” Gian Luca Marino, Turin

“It was a" journey "full of emotions. I tried to do my best, and I learned a lot from your advice Alex Coghe. " Tatiana Biagini, Florence

“Fantastic experience, I hope to be able to repeat it” Michele Cernigliaro, Catania

"Alex Coghe's workshop, for example, of all those I've done, has this goal of creating something in the long run and even if I contribute little from abroad, it's the first that comes to mind as a post-workshop involvement and therefore what I would recommend at the moment. In addition to being the only one for whom I "came out" with the idea of ​​taking photos for a project that is very important for those who start. " - Iacopo Biondi, Milan

“Thanks to you Alex Coghe for the professionalism, humanity, enthusiasm and magic of photography that you managed to convey to me. It was truly a wonderful experience.” William Actis, Turin.

“Many thanks for the wonderful time I had with you walking in the streets of Mexico city for two days. Your flexibility in making the workshop a pure shooting experience for me was fantastic. It was nice to see you in action and work through the various modes – shooting fast at times and then slowing down and concentrating on different com-positional elements. I liked the way you look at street photography as a sum total of urban architecture, elements, geometry, and people. Thanks again for workshop.” Jag M., Washington DC

Hi Alex

“On Monday, I did a one-day street photography workshop with professional photographer Alex Coghe. It was a great experience and I learned things that immediately improved my photography. Alex, originally from Rome, has been in el D.F. for 5 years and his approach to photography really opened my eyes.I won’t divulge any of his secrets – you will have to take a workshop if you are in central Mexico – but I will say that I am now shooting almost exclusively in manual mode. I used to shoot mostly in aperture priority, but now I am going full manual with aperture, time, and focus, with only ISO on automatic. It has already helped me get sharper images when shooting street photos.” Jeff Bell, Alaska

“Hi Alex I want to thank you very much for the workshop, I took something to write for various reasons, wanted to be quiet, without the euphoria of all this visual maelstrom you showed me, taking several days to assimilate all the information and many others in processing, pass by several stages euphoria, frustration, anger, etc. etc. until I could and achieve it in pictures, I’ve been practicing with a point and shoot to shoulder and chest shots is difficult because these cameras are slow to definitely focus me urgently needs fuji I have also been looking at many images, many photographers, I have many styles of everything visual soaked I can, sometimes I go down the street and see some interesting scene then I hear anything you said, is not funny? I think there is a radical change in my pictures I can see the progress that I’m very excited and passionate when I made a good picture.” Marie Reyes, Mexico City

“Thank you, Alex! Great experience, intense, instructive, a huge punch, also a brilliant human encounter! What a weekend! Highly recommended!” Reuven Halevi, Rome

What to expect as one of my students:

Maximum dedication aimed at obtaining results. I believe that to be a teacher you must have a vocation to share your experience.

Through a one to one workshop I can focus just on you and creating a personalized experience.

After your registration I will contact you by sending you a questionnaire to fill out, through which I will be able to create a student profile. At that point I will have the tools to offer a personalized experience throughout the course.

All my workshops include didactic material to study before the day (s) of practice, feedbacks, portfolio review and mentoring program granted a lifetime.

The workshop is focused on results so I don’t consider the experience finished on the day / days of working with me on the street at all.

I speak 3 languages: Italian, Spanish and English and I can offer you the tuition in these 3 languages.

Currently I am offering workshops only in Mexico City and Oaxaca de Juarez. Thanks to my my knowledge of these two cities guarantee a safe and absolutely profitable experience for the photographic opportunities we will encounter.

Working by my side you will see my approach and way to work. I will nurture your training through careful and rigorous control of your way of working, providing you with the basic to take your street photography to the next level.

During the day (s) I can give you particular assignments, in order to work on your approach and improving your approach on the street.

With me you will have the opportunity to go to photograph in places that normal tourists don’t go, contributing to give you a unique experience.

Let me say a thing: to photograph in Mexico is a completely different thing. I have seen experienced street photographers smashing or otherwise failing to capture the essence of Mexico. If you take the workshop with me I will show you with tricks and useful information how to be able to effectively photograph Mexico, giving you the opportunity to take home an important job that you will love to relate to even after several years.
