Street Portrait Disruption a Street Thief Workshop
​A four-hour street portrait workshop with Gary Lashmar, aka the Street Thief.
This isn’t about gear, tricks, or getting lucky. It’s about dismantling the habits that keep your work safe, tidy, and forgettable. Learn how to trigger ch strangers in a way that engages them, creating the conditions for real portraits — not just quick snapshots.
We’ll work on the street under clear constraints that remove escape routes. No hiding. No drifting. The focus isn’t the shot — it’s your presence. How you enter an interaction. How you hold it long enough for something real to surface. Whether you’re awake to what’s unfolding in front of you. You’ll leave with stronger portraits, yes — but more importantly, with a harder trust in your own eye and the confidence to use it.
BioGary Lashmar, aka The Street Thief, doesn’t so much teach photography as rewires it.
Founder of Dare Photography Workshops and host of Street Thief YouTube Channel, Gary’s known for his no-nonsense shot-to-the-vein approach to creating street photography.

He’s worked with The Libertines, ZZ Top, British Vogue, NME, and Brooklyn Brewery — yet what drives him isn’t perfection, it’s the possibility of stumbling across a magic imperfection that turns your thinking on it’s head.
Through his workshops and youtube channel, Gary supports photographers confront fear, and create from the gut.
