Tuesday May 2 – Thursday May 4, 2023 (3 days)
Take a bite of the Big Apple …… the greatest and most exciting city in the world …… in a photography workshop with award-winning fine art street photographer, Jeff Bullied. With the electric energy of its teeming streets, iconic architecture and stunning cityscapes, it is a veritable mecca for photographers. Learning in a small group with a relaxed and informative approach, this workshop is an experiential investment in yourself to take your passion in photography to the next level. And we are going to have a great time together in our group of like-minded enthusiasts!
Jeff knows NYC exceptionally well, having traveled and worked there more than 60 times over the course of his career. He will take you to many of his favorite iconic spots as well as some secret under-the radar locations, primarily in the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. He will cover composition and lighting techniques for fine art street photography including streetscape, architectural, long exposure and minimalist imagery. You will learn how to work a scene to create exceptional and original images. Questions and thoughts will be introduced to help you clarify your creative vision to become a better visual storyteller. His goal is to help you emerge from the experience with new passion for your photography, honed skills and images of NYC of which you will be proud.

As photographers, we are chasers of light. The best light is very frequently found early mornings or later in the day. Thus, this is not a 9 to 5 workshop. We plan to start early in the morning and sometimes push into the evening. We have scheduled a generous amount of time in the afternoons for lunch, rest and individual pursuits. If attendees wish to start later or end their day earlier, they are welcome to do so.

IMPORTANT NOTES
May is one of the best times to visit NYC, with great weather and fewer tourists. Bring layered clothing and come prepared for the possibility of rain. We will be out shooting, rain or shine.
Camera gear:
DSLR or Mirrorless camera (with Bulb setting) and lenses;
Fully charged battery, with spares;
Empty memory card, with spares;
Light rucksack or camera bag;
Tripod;
Remote shutter release;
Neutral density filters (3 stop, 6 stop, 10 stop) - suggested but not required.
Bring comfortable shoes. Expect to walk 5 to 10 miles per day.
This is not an introductory workshop. All attendees should be proficient in using their camera gear. Out of respect for the group, there will not be time to devote attention to individuals for learning the basics.
Attendees have the individual responsibility to maintain regular big-city awareness of your surroundings – both traffic and people.
Book a hotel close to Penn Station in Midtown as it is a central transport hub for subway to various parts of the city.
