Street & Documentary Photography Workshop

See the City. Make a Photograph. Walk Away Different.

Street photography is the most democratic form of the art — no studio, no set, no hired model. Just you, a camera (or your phone), and the city in front of you. In this hands-on evening workshop, you’ll learn how to see the extraordinary moments hiding in the ordinary world and come away with the tools, the confidence, and the ethics to go find them.

What You’ll Do

The evening begins inside SBDAC with a 45-minute talk covering the history and masters of street photography, the visual skills that separate a snapshot from a photograph, and a frank conversation about the ethics and legality of photographing in public. Then we step outside.

For 90 minutes, you’ll explore a curated walking route through downtown Fort Myers during golden hour, with instructor Kevin Boller circulating alongside you for real-time coaching. The evening closes back at SBDAC with an informal group image share and debrief — everyone picks their one best shot from the night.

What You’ll Learn

• How to find story-rich compositions in busy public spaces
• The legal basics and ethical principles of photographing strangers in public
• Camera settings for street shooting — and how to shoot sharp images on your phone
• How to overcome the hesitation of raising your camera around strangers
• What separates a snapshot from a photograph worth keeping

Photography Instructor

Kevin Boller

Kevin Boller is a Fort Myers-based commercial and luxury product photographer, educator, and the founder of Insight Image Studio. A photographer since the age of twelve, he has spent more than two decades building a practice that spans editorial, commercial, and fine art photography — with images published in more than thirty editions of glamour and fashion magazines worldwide and work exhibited in galleries across three countries.

Before committing to photography full-time, Kevin spent nearly two decades as a data scientist. That background shapes the way he approaches both his commercial work and his teaching: analytically, directly, and with a genuine interest in understanding why something works before trying to replicate it. Students in his workshops should expect honest feedback, clear reasoning, and none of the vague encouragement that fills too many creative classes.

Kevin is deeply invested in the photography community across Florida. He serves as a Director on the board of the Florida Professional Photographers (FPP), Director of the Florida School of Photography, and board member of Image Creatives, LLC in Southwest Florida. He teaches monthly workshops through Lee County Parks and Recreation and has instructed Sports Photography at Florida Southwestern State College, and worked with the National Scouting Combine to capture D1 level college athletes.

In 2026, Kevin joined the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center as an official Photography Partner, where he is developing a comprehensive multi-course photography curriculum designed to serve students at every stage of the journey — from the first camera through advanced technique.

His teaching philosophy begins with a single conviction: the camera is the last tool you learn. The first is learning to see.
