2024 New York, New York, New York Street Photography Galore

Come join us in New York for 6 days of Street Photography led by Leanne Staples, New York’s leading Street Photographer and owner of Shoot New York City, accompanied by Women in Photography’s Leanne Silver.

Leanne’s street photography workshops are a popular way for visitors to NYC to learn the techniques and skills of street photography while exploring New York’s exciting urban neighbourhoods. Each neighbourhood Leanne has chosen for us has different characteristics and uses different styles of shooting – every day will be different.

Your days with Leanne are 28 November through to 3 December where you’ll be exploring 6 different New York iconic street photography locations and to take advantage of the the optimal shooting time, the start of the workshop will at times vary.

Check out the locations which Leanne is planning for us

• Midtown
• Soho
• Coney Island, Brooklyn
• Brooklyn Bridge
• Chinatown

The 6th workshop will be discussed over the 5 days as to what other location might be of interest – maybe Jackson Heights, Queens or Williamsburg, Brooklyn or Bushwick, Brooklyn?

On this photography tour, we’ve decided that lunch and dinner are your own cost due to the varying starting and finish times each day.

Each workshop will be 6 hours in duration and each day, before the workshop starts, you’ll be met at your hotel by Leanne Staples for the daily briefing on the activity plus photographic techniques before heading out to start your street photography workshop,

There is time set aside during the day for review of your images although the main review session, critique and feedback is after this tour where you can submit your images to Leanne’s closed Facebook group – this group is only for those who have been on her street photography workshops.
