Class Description

Description

Join us for an exhilarating photo safari expedition exploring New York City's most recognizable and celebrated destinations. You will photograph prominent locations, including Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Empire State Building, and the expansive Central Park. Throughout this guided safari, our experienced instructors will demonstrate effective photography techniques for landmark locations while helping you refine your overall photographic abilities. You will learn strategic approaches to working with compositional lines and angles to bring these iconic locations to visual life. You will also have the opportunity to capture the striking Manhattan skyline from Central Park's vantage points.

This is a fast-paced photo safari that incorporates extensive use of the NYC Subway system, providing opportunities to practice capturing motion as subway trains move through the stations. Subway transportation costs are included in your course fee.

This workshop welcomes photographers of all skill levels and serves as an excellent companion to the Iconic NY P2 course. The photography techniques covered are appropriate for all levels of photographic knowledge and experience.

This safari covers a significant distance, covering approximately 1.5 miles, so please wear comfortable, supportive sneakers and prepare yourself to walk at a steady pace.

    A really relaxed class with like minded people . The photographer was professional and excellent at sharing key technical points. Got lots of tips to photography high buildings such as using glass as an imagary. At the end of the 3 hour class we were all asked to reflect on our learning. I would recommend this class.
