Richard Bram is a well-known and influential New York City street photographer with decades of experience shooting the streets. Richard is a member of In-Public, the original street photography collective, and an experienced workshop teacher.

Vineet Vohra is a prominent New Delhi street photographer and a Fujifilm X photographer. He is a co-founder of APF magazine and a member of the APF and The Street collectives. Vineet is an experienced workshop teacher who regularly sells out classes around Asia and Europe, and we are bringing him to StreetFoto for his first North American workshop, an intensive 3-day class called “The Art of Storytelling” that will focus on creating a series of photos with a common narrative.
Jack Simon is a celebrated and influential street photographer who is based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work is striking, surreal, and contemporary, and is much-published and often-awarded. He is a member of the Burn My Eye street photography collective. Jack will be offering two workshops: A one-day class with online follow-up and a two-day weekend class. Both classes will include extensive in-the-field instruction, and Jack will walk, shoot, and talk with students in the neighborhoods in which he has created many of his iconic photographs.
