StrudelmediaLive Community Weekend in New York City

On the Waterfront: In‑Person Weekend Workshop NYC

Interested in this class? Email us and we'll notify you next time it runs.

Join us for a weekend-long photographic exploration of the waterfront of New York City — discover the unexpected in a small group! There will be something new to experience for everyone!

Fri, April 25: 2-4pm (ET)

A special curated gallery tour with the StrudelmediaLive community, followed by a social get-together.

Sat/Sun, April 26/27: 10am–5pm (ET)

Over two days, you’ll discover the fascinating and varied waterfronts of New York City, including DUMBO, Red Hook, and more. Join us as we explore NYC’s iconic watery realms — by ferry, subway, and foot!

Activities on both days will be held outdoors as much as possible.

Sun, May 4: 12–3pm (ET)

The following Sunday, we’ll meet online to discuss and critique your fresh NYC photographs.

Please note: Make sure to wear good shoes because we'll be walking a good amount.
 
Thank you both very much for a great course. I loved watching the movie clips and seeing students' interpretation through your talented guidance. See you again soon!
—Ilene (New York City)
Anja's course helped me to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a photographer — the assignments and the feedback helped me to be more honest about my work and challenge myself more. I cannot stress enough how useful her courses would be for anyone looking to improve as a storyteller and photographer. I really enjoyed the interactive part where you can speak and see the other people in class in real time — it really brings up the learning experience.
—Alejandra (Mexico)
To me, online classes have been a synonym for freedom. Freedom of being where I was, geographically. Freedom of expressing myself through the group discussions and learning by sharing with others and with Anja.
—Lara (France)
