New York City Workshops

Cultivating the Photographic Instinct

This ten-week workshop is for those individuals who are either working on a long-term project or want to put together a dynamic body of work. Within the context of a small group, you will get constructive feedback and establish a dialogue with other photographers. Through weekly critiques, you are encouraged to reach your full photographic potential. We will cover editing, sequencing, and shooting and lighting techniques. In addition to in class portfolio reviews we will visit the galleries, and discuss each exhibition in its historical context. By the end of the course each student will have a portfolio of images for presentation and have a better understanding of photography.
