Social Photography is a visual capture of the history and meaning of an event (parties, reunions, service projects, conferences, ceremonies, amateur sports, performances, etc.). It is a utilitarian form of record keeping and a highly creative genre enabling the viewer to know and remember who was there, what they did and experienced and how it made them feel. It is an exciting and fulfilling form of journalistic photography that requires very different skills from the tripod based to the painstakingly stalked or staged subjects. This PDF includes the presentation and detailed notes, providing practical ideas and examples of technique, aesthetics and equipment. Other topics include flash diffusion, subject rapport, post processing, publishing and distributing a set of images from an event.
