Ted Lemon Posted April 11, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted April 11, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can anyone recommend a good either street, or portrait photography, workshop (looking for a week long one if possible) in New York City?

stuny Posted April 11, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted April 11, 2012 Ted - Â Forum members vdb (Virgil) and roguewave (Ben) have attended exactly the kind of one week workshop in NYC that you are asking about. I suggest you PM them for details. Both of them have shown very significant improvements in their photography since participating in the workshop. Â When you're in town perhaps we can meet.

OwinThomas Posted April 11, 2012 Share #3  Posted April 11, 2012 Jay Maisel's "5 solid days" Workshop in New York  Expensive, but apparently worth it, If I had the spare cash and I was travelling to New York I would definitely consider it.  A bit of a review by Shoot Tokyo blogger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted April 12, 2012 Share #5 Â Posted April 12, 2012 The search box is your friend. Ok, here. Â And Turnley's workshop description is available by Google. Ok, here. Â Are there any paid positions for forum researchers? It's easy work. Â Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Lemon Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share #7  Posted April 12, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Jay Maisel's "5 solid days" Workshop in New York Expensive, but apparently worth it, If I had the spare cash and I was travelling to New York I would definitely consider it.  A bit of a review by Shoot Tokyo blogger  Thank you for this response. I googled for a workshop in the first instance and Jay Maisel came top of the list so have investigated that. Your right its expensve at $5k but the food seems good! Its also that toal immersion in a weeks photography with strigent feedback in a wonderful setting that is appealing.  I also found someone called John Free who seems to run workshops based at the other end of the cost spectrum.

Have a look here: Student Feedback  yes saw that as well....but five grand is a lot of dosh!....by the way have you ever heard of Jay as a photographer in his own right before? I also collect vintage prints and go to mnay auctions and his name has never appeared on my radar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted April 12, 2012 Share #11 Â Posted April 12, 2012 You must collect b/w. Maisel is a well known color photographer, having shot Miles Davis's iconic cover for the 'Kind of Blue' album, among many other things. Â The Turnley workshop is $2200, per the link.

Â Jeff/Stuart - yes a dedicated B&W collector - but also a jazz fan as I stare at my 50th annivesary copy of 'kind of blue'! so thats good news for me and as I am becoming more interested in colour maybe Jay is the man.

Guest WPalank Posted April 13, 2012 Share #16 Â Posted April 13, 2012 I took a Maisel Workshop before he was off the charts famous in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico back in October 2004. It was limited to 12 of us. Total cost for 7 days including Hotel Accommodations and most meals was something like $1800. By far, BY FAR, the best thing I have done as far as photographic education to this day (besides walking with Ben 'roguewave' through Manhattan') . He is a color/composition master. Be warned that he is not that big a fan of Rangefinders, but fortunately a fan of the photographic file by whatever means it was taken. In fact one morning he was giving a presentation and then said "I just hate those cameras where you have to line up the images in the viewfinder". I said, "Rangefinders?" He said, "Yeah." I slowly hid the Epson RD-1 I had with me (the first digital Rangefinder) behind my back. But again, all he cares about is the image and not how you get it or Photoshop it.

Â I saw an M at his workshop in a blog picture from an earlier response to this thread (amongst lots of DSLR's). I use an M8 (or M7 when I can) but not for this workshop which appears to mandate digital for good practical reasons and will take that unless there is an M10P out by then (no chance me thinks) but if so will buy M10P and attend workshop by re-mortgaging the house, selling the wife, cancelling my football season ticket (or maybe not on the ticket) and go for it big style. Seriously though thinking I will go for jay's workshop.....just waiting to hear back from them on a couple of queries... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenerrolrd Posted April 13, 2012 Share #19 Â Posted April 13, 2012 I can fully recommend Peter Turnley s New York Workshops . I have taken Peter s workshops in Prague, Rome,Seville,Venice and Havana . I find the most valuable aspect to be the daily editing of your images . Each day he reviews 50-100 images and creates a group of selects which are organized into a small collection of 15 at the end of the workshop. Its the daily feedback based on your images that makes the instruction stick . You begin to see what works and what doesn t . Â This also provides and opportunity to see how your fellow attendees approach their shooting and the results they obtain. Â His website shows the student work so its easy to see the type of street shooting opportunities provided. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 14, 2012 Share #20 Â Posted April 14, 2012 Sketches of Spain is among my favorites. A lesser known one that is excellent is Porgy & Bess. I listen to lots of vinyl versions, including special pressings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
