StrudelmediaLive Community Weekend in New York City
In‑Person Weekend Workshop: Photographing New York City Islands
Dates: Oct 22–23, 2022
Time: 10am–4pm (ET)
Sessions: 3 (Saturday/Sunday, Oct 22/23, 10am–4pm (ET), with a follow-up online session on Sunday, Oct 30, 12–3pm (ET))
Limited enrollment: 12 students
Fee: $650
Join us for this special in-person weekend workshop in New York City to photograph some of the lesser-known parts of three different islands that lie just off of Manhattan. We’ll travel as a group by ferry on Saturday and Sunday to each spot where you'll photographically discover these locations with their mix of new and old, and facinating natural and architectural spaces. This workshop would be great for those who enjoy photographing urban spaces, unexpected natural environments, street scenes, and architecture. We'll focus on telling stories about both the differences and similarities of these islands that surround Manhattan. Activities will be held outdoors as much as possible and your evenings are free to explore the city as you like. Ferry transportation is included in the fee.
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.
This workshop is part of our StrudelmediaLive Community Weekend in New York City — join us on Friday, Oct 21 for a free gallery-hopping and get-together!
Please note: Make sure to wear good shoes because we'll be walking a good amount.
I have learned much from Anja and StrudelmediaLive classes. She and the other teachers are very well accomplished on the technical and artistic sides of photography, helping me to grow in both areas. Anja has a creative mind and is very pleasant to work with — very important traits for a photography mentor. I look forward to more classes with her and the other teachers.
—Jay (Oakland)
Anja's class helped me much more than I was expecting. I was a bit lost in proceeding with my raw idea in the beginning, but the classmates from diverse backgrounds were there with me along the whole journey, sometimes as a critic and sometimes as a supporter, and their thoughtful feedback pushed me forward a lot. I recommend Anja's online classes to anyone who wants diverse feedback and the intimacy of the classroom experience.
