Your NYC photography adventure begins from the top of the Empire State Building at sunrise shooting the 360-degree view of the city at this magical time before the crowds arrive. In Grand Central – one of America’s most beautiful train stations – sharpen your long time exposure skills as you photograph the hustle and bustle of commuters and the historical interior from a unique vantage point arranged by our production team. Then climb aboard the Circle Line and stop time in the warm light of the evening to catch dramatic images of the city’s skyline as you float down the Hudson River. In Times Square, your mentors will guide you in shooting quintessential photographs of the city’s vibrant nightlife.
Finally, a visit to NYC is never complete without a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. We will take you there at sunset to snap lasting early morning images of the spectacular NYC skyline as boats glide across the East River and the Statue of Liberty looms in the distant harbor. These are just a few of the thousands of images awaiting you in this thriving metropolis. So sign up in a New York minute before this workshop is sold out and don’t miss this exciting weekend of photography in one of the most international and diverse city’s in the world.
