From the deliberate lines of architecture to the fleeting moments of the street, this series examines how we see, interpret, and simplify complex environments. Ian Plant’s Taking it to the Streets explores the art of observation and timing in dynamic, real-world scenes. Angie McMonigal’s Contrasts in the Built Environment reveals how light, shadow, and design create compelling visual tension, while Beth Buelow’s Simplify the Chaos focuses on distilling busy scenes into clear, impactful compositions.

Together, these sessions offer a deeper understanding of how to work within, and against, the complexity of urban environments. By learning to recognize patterns, embrace contrast, and simplify visual noise, photographers can create images that feel both intentional and alive.

Hosted by Murray Livingston, this series invites you to see the built world differently, not just as a backdrop, but as a space full of structure, story, and possibility.
