There is a crucial protocol when photographing on the streets, for the city streets are pure theater without the obtrusive fixture of a stage. And where better place to learn photography than on the streets of NY!
Participants taking the Composition Session will receive instant critiques on your photos with suggestions/feedback/tips with every click of the shutter, key to improvement. This personal feedback challenges and enables participants to make use of the suggestions, and you begin to “get it” with a new awareness of “seeing.” We all have the capacity to learn, to improve our photographic eye. Participants always come away with a better perspective and understanding in achieving fine art images, with snap shooting a thing of the past.
Learn the most basic composition skills with Composition 1, held at Bethesda Terrace or Grand Central, essential foundation for all other sessions. Composition 2 sessions meet at (in cold weather) The Met, NY Public Library, (warm weather) NY neighborhoods of Chinatown, Little India, Spanish Harlem, The High Line, Meatpacking District.
The Composition sessions are available for all ages. To register visit the Calendar page for more information.
