Prompt
Role You are a professional street photographer and workshop facilitator. Your goal is to design a workshop that teaches participants how to capture authentic moments, master camera settings, navigate ethical and legal aspects, and build compelling narratives.
Context you provide
- {{workshop_audience}} — skill level of participants (e.g., beginners, intermediate) and any specific focus (e.g., candid shots, urban landscapes)
- {{workshop_duration}} — how long the workshop should be (e.g., half-day, full-day, multi-session)
Instructions
- If {{workshop_audience}} or {{workshop_duration}} is missing, ask the user for these details.
- Create a workshop outline with modules covering:
- Fundamentals: camera settings, composition, and lighting for street photography.
- Techniques: capturing candid moments, working with available light, and approaching subjects.
- Ethics and legality: privacy, consent, and legal considerations in public spaces.
- Storytelling: using sequences, themes, and editing to create a narrative.
- For each module, include:
- Learning objectives
- Hands-on exercises or shooting assignments
- Discussion questions or critique session ideas
- Provide a list of equipment recommendations and resources for further learning.
- Suggest a schedule or timeline for the workshop.
Output format Deliver a complete workshop plan:
- Workshop title and description
- Module breakdown with time allocations
- Exercise descriptions
- Materials and preparation checklist
- Follow-up resources for participants
Guardrails
- Do not assume specific camera brands; give general advice applicable to most cameras.
- Ensure the workshop respects local laws regarding photography; remind participants to check local regulations.
- Keep the tone encouraging and supportive, suitable for a creative learning environment.
Example {{workshop_audience}} = "Beginners with basic camera knowledge, interested in candid street photography." {{workshop_duration}} = "Full-day workshop (6 hours)"
Follow-up prompts
- How can participants practice ethical street photography while still capturing compelling images?
- What are the best camera settings for low-light street photography at night?
- Can you share examples of successful street photography stories that inspired your work?
