Ami Strachan

I first went out with Ami about 6 months ago..I was a newbie to street photography....I found her workshop inspirational.. !! she is such a good teacher, and I have learned so much from her experience...her workshops suit all levels, as she has the experience and professional expertise to improve all levels of photographer. Ami is engaging, thought provoking and teaches all aspects of photography...I have learnt about ethics, how to make better use of my camera, she encourages discussion and makes you think, and being very knowledgeable about shooting amazing shots herself, looking at her own work is an education in itself...her openness to share her tradecraft has allowed me to become better all round, but my observational skilled have improved so much...seeing the light, and seeing the moment to capture shots before the moment has gone..these are just a few examples...my guess is that canny pro's would also go out with her as well...� I make an eight hour round trip to do her workshops... I think this is a reflection of how much I love Amis workshops...���she is a star...!! More...

Attended my first workshop with Ami yesterday and I will definitely be attending another in the very near future. She is an absolutely fantastic photographer, teacher and person, who’s obvious passion and enthusiasm for her craft is highly contagious and greatly inspires others around her to follow in her photographical footsteps and to attempt to get even closer to their street subjects, which is perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of street photography. As well as being a brilliant street photographer, Ami is an absolutely fantastic teacher and is someone who will take the time to teach the ethics of street photography, camera technique, camera settings and how to “read” light and make the best use of it, as well as encouraging photographical discussion, answering questions and assisting workshop attendees to capture that elusive “decisive moment”. Overall, I found Ami’s workshop to be fun, enjoyable and extremely inspiring. She is such a brilliant teacher and I learned so much from her yesterday and in seeing her practicing her craft during the four hours I was with her, that I am now very eager to use my get out and use my new-found confidence in street photography and to practice all of the techniques that she taught me. Her workshops will suit all levels of photographical skill, as she has the enthusiasm, experience, engaging teaching style and professional expertise to improve all skill levels from absolute beginner to professional. Also, her own photographs are absolutely amazing too. Highly, highly, highly recommended!!! More...

Having been impressed with Ami's street / candid photography online I decided to get a 1:1 coaching session with her. Having done street photography for a couple of years on and off, I was keen to build my confidence on getting closer to subjects, improving my observation skills and awareness of the light. I am pleased to say that an hour in to the 5hr workshop with Ami i was already feeling significantly more confident and by the end of the session really felt in a much better place. Ami is great fun and really helped me build my confidence quickly. I came away with some great shots that i would probably never have captured otherwise, and now feel much more positive about where i can take my street photography. Highly recommended! More...
