I went from a photo-snapping beginner, who sometimes got lucky, to an multi-award-winning street photographer who knows what it takes to make a great shot... and got noticed by big brands such as Nat Geo and Fujifilm.
Years ago, I took a lot of boring photos that I thought were good because I didn't know any better. But, like you, I wanted to learn. So, as I spent hours looking through the work of the masters of visual storytelling such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Vivian Maier, and Alex Webb.
And yet, even after hours on the streets, I’d still come home with an SD card full of disappointment...
However, being a bit of a nerd who loves figuring out how things work, instead of staying stuck, I dove deep into the science of why some photographs work and others don't.
💡 I spent weeks studying and making sense of the psychology of how our brains process visual information and how to apply it to photography.
💡 I figured out the science behind what to look for and how to compose an image that made the work of the masters so outstanding.
💡 Through this long process, I developed a simple proven formula for scroll-stopping street photography, that once applied, works for everyone no matter your skill level. Plus I've taught it to over 300 students in my workshops and I'm sharing it with you now in this course.
If you ever feel like your street photos are missing something you are in the right place!
You love going out with your camera, enjoying time to yourself and escaping the stresses of life by doing street photography. Yet, while you love the process it’s like the magic is often missing in the images you capture.
☹️ You know your shots could be better but you can’t figure out why. You keep shooting, and while you get lucky some of the time, you wish you could go home with more "keepers".
☹️ The streets feel chaotic so you end up feeling overwhelmed, or you just aren't quite sure how to best approach a scene, and you go home disappointed with your confidence taking a hit.
☹️ Your photos don’t tell the story you see in your head. The vibe’s there in your mind, but it’s not showing up in the shot. And you end up wondering why you bother, yet the pull is still there to get better!
Does any of this sound familiar? You’re not alone. What if you could turn those “almosts” into "keepers"?
I know exactly how you can do it!
📸 Unlocking how the brain simplifies visual information is the fastest and easiest way to turn chaotic street scenes into scroll-stopping photos.
✅ Learn and easily apply the compositional techniques used by both the past masters and award-winning contemporary street photographers — that go way beyond the usual rules of "thirds" and "leading lines"!
✅ Create candid street photos that stand out and get more "keepers" in a much shorter amount of time.
✅ Feel more confident not only while shooting on the street but also when sharing your work with others.
WARNING: This course WILL change the way you see and frame the world — forever.

Hello, I'm Polly
I’m a pro-photographer, street photography teacher and certified mindset coach. My work has been awarded and exhibited internationally at a number of street photography festivals. It's been published in magazines such as Eyeshot and Nat Geo Traveller UK. I have also given a number of talks about street photography including at the Nat Geo Traveller Masterclasses in London.
"Everything is learnable!"
I’m a former Fujifilm Ambassador, one of a 100 women featured in the first ever “Women Street Photographers” book (curated by Gulnara Samoilova, published 2021), I contributed to "The Travel Photographer's Way" (a Bradt travel guide by Nori Jemil, published 2021), and also "Reclaim the Street" book (by Stephen McLaren and Matt Stuart, published 2023), and I've been invited to judge a couple of street photography competitions.
I'm also the author of two street photography books, with a third on the way! So look out for that :)
