Dates and times are Fri-Sun Nov 3rd-5th
Day 1: Will consist of 4 Hr in field instruction in NYC, where I shoot with you at multiple iconic spots and show you in a personalized setting, how to shoot in raw format to achieve optimal files for editing and printing. We will focus on techniques and composition. The spots that I'll be working with you have produced some of my most licensed and printed NYC photos.
Day 2: We will focus on the Jersey view of the skyline, taking photos from some of the most iconic viewpoints in the city. This is a nice change up to the first days view and give ample opportunities for both wide city shots and tighter more isolated shots of the famous buildings of NYC.
Day 3: Will be hosted in person or can be attended via zoom. It will be 4hrs long and I will show you how to edit the files we created from first session, using editing software. We will go over blending multiple files stacked to create clean and high dynamic range images, ready to export to print, post, or sell. You will be sent the recorded session, so don’t worry if you can’t attend it live during the morning.
We will print your top edited photo from the workshop, either in person or through an online lab.
As a bonus I will be talking about photography as a business, creating a style and brand, social media, and advice on how to pitch clients, and best practices for creative freelance work.
Price is $845 USD
