LEICA AKADEMIE: New York Street Photography Masterclass with Phil Penman (Sold Out)
For more than two decades, the streets of New York have been a source of inspiration for Fine Art photographer Phil Penman. There are a thousand stories in the city, learning to find these visual stories is the focus of this Masterclass weekend.
Phil will guide the group through the streets, highlighting many of his favorite locations, while demonstrating his approach to "seeing", metering light and creating the dramatic compositions found in his work. From practical, hands-on sessions in the field to editing and review of the images created, his weekend intensive will provide insights into his creative process from start to finish.
WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW?
This is a physically demanding workshop. Working “in the field” can often mean walking over 5 miles a day. Participants are expected to have good understanding their cameras as well as an understanding of basic image editing. We will have a selection of Leica Cameras available for you to try throughout the weekend. This is a rain or shine workshop, so you will need to be prepared for the weather.
