Brian Lloyd Duckett
FOUNDER & WORKSHOP LEADER
My interest in street photography started when, as a photojournalist, I pounded the streets of London, shooting material for news and features. I’m a brand ambassador for Fujifilm – an ‘Official Fujifilm X-Photographer’. When I’m not working as a street photographer I run a commercial and editorial photography business, I lecture on photography degree courses, I lecture at camera clubs and I’m a featured writer / photographer in photographic and travel magazines. My first street photography book, ‘Mastering Street Photography’, is a best-seller and my latest book, based on 52 street photography projects, is now available. Please check out my YouTube channel, which is 100% street!

Street photography and JBDI
I once had a boss whose motto was 'JBDI' (just bloody do it!) and I think he had a point. I'm constantly hearing about street photographers complaining because 'there's nothing to do'. Well, I think they're wrong and there is plenty to do. Yesterday I needed to be in...
Where street photography and commercial photography collide
There's a very interesting space where street photography can be used in corporate marketing applications. I was approached in November by a marketing agency working on behalf of the NHS: “We’re working on a job and we need some images - like yesterday”. And the brief...
