Troy Baird on Superpeer

Street & Documentary Photographer

Troy Baird is an Australian Film Director by trade, working mostly in the documentary space. For over a decade he has travelled all over the globe working on documentaries, meanwhile tacking on months and months of accumulative, personal, dedicated Street Photography trips to these international projects. Having his creative career structured in this way, with such a diverse set of visual experiences, has meant that he has had to adapt and pivot and always evaluate the best approach to making great Street Photography work in all of these varied and dynamic locations like Cuba, India, Nepal, the Philippines, Japan, Morocco, all over Europe, New York, New Zealand and South East Asia. It has been Troy’s main passion and focus to always add to the conversation of Street Photography and move it forward. His 9 hour 'Staff Pick' Skillshare class is the culmination of reading over 200 books on the craft, absorbing all of the content available on the craft like movies, documentaries, all other online classes, youtube content, podcasts and conversation with fellow Street Photographers, as well the 10 years of physical experience shooting on the street. His intention is the pass all of that knowledge on in the most useful, meaningful way possible to creatives that are excited to find their own unique artistic voice and express themselves through the art of Street Photography.
