A major focus for the workshops is hands-on learning; I feel the best way to understand photography is to LEARN BY DOING so that you see what goes into capturing a great image.
We will also discuss slowing down and reading your environment with the exciting backdrop of NYC. Being able to see countless photo opportunities waiting to happen when you open your eyes and explore the possibilities. We will use several techniques to make creative and interesting photos by thinking outside the box using both our environment and our amazing Leica photographic tools to create images.
You and your questions will help make this workshop experience even better. We will encourage your questions throughout the day and will not conclude the event until we’ve helped you arrive at an answer. This is an intimate learning environment with as much personal attention as possible.
After morning introductions and a brief lecture, the class will break into small groups to work on photographing vehicles on location. After lunch, we will add some models with the vehicles to enhance the narrative of our photo stories.
Later that afternoon, we will review everyone’s work to see their progression and inspiration!
