StrudelmediaLive Community Weekend in New York City
In‑Person Weekend Workshop NYC: Queens along the 7 Train
Interested in this class? Email us and we'll notify you next time it runs.
New York City’s 7 subway line — a mostly elevated train with great views — runs from Hudson Yards in Manhattan out to Flushing, Queens, passing through the most diverse county in the United States. Join us as we travel together on the 7 train to make a weekend-long photographic exploration of the different worlds that lie along this route.
Fri, March 17: 1-3pm (ET)
A special curated gallery tour with StrudelmediaLive community, followed by a social get-together.
Sat/Sun, March 18/19: 10am–5pm (ET)
On this curated tour you’ll discover fascinating urban spaces, bustling streets, interesting and varied architecture, intimate communities, and a wide range of people from all over the world. Along the way we’ll visit Long Island City, an industrial area — until recently — with old factory buildings being rapidly replaced by gleaming glass towers. Jackson Heights — where 167 different languages are spoken — is home to a vast array of people from South Asia and Latin America and is filled with intriguing windows of small shops and restaurants. Flushing is one of the largest and fastest-growing Chinatowns outside of Asia and you’ll feel the vibrant pulse of its dense and busy street life.
Sun, March 26: 12–3pm (ET)
The following Sunday, we’ll meet online to discuss and critique your fresh NYC images. This workshop will also be a good opportunity to meet in person and photograph with other StudelmediaLive students you may know only on Zoom.
Activities on both days will be held outdoors as much as possible.
Please note: Make sure to wear good shoes because we'll be walking a good amount.
We just returned from a week away and found my zine waiting for me! I love it! Many thanks to you both and especially Edward for your time, expertise and patience as I began to learn InDesign. I am grateful and appreciative!
—Lisa (New York)
I am a huge fan of live online photography classes, having participated in a dozen since 2014! Through inspiring and encouraging critique from instructors and discussion with other students, I have seen my own work and that of others grow, focus and refine. Another benefit of these classes is the opportunity to meet and interact with others, near and far, who, like myself, are not able to participate in a New York City classroom. I have enjoyed Anja's classes so very much; her expertise is impressive, her enthusiasm contagious!
—Lisa (New York City)
Since I haven't had the opportunity to study photography formally, I needed a course that would help me acquire an awareness of the composition skills I was thinking about unconsciously. Anja helped me improve my observation skills, both explaining the main elements of composition, with reference to the techniques used by other photographers, and through shooting exercises and group critique, which took me, week after week, to intentionally compose the frame in order to develop a narrative.
