Join Adi Talwar, multiple Ippies award-winner, in this free daylong photo walk in East Harlem. This is a unique opportunity to gain special photographic skills. Street photography is one of the most powerful ways of capturing the life in New York City’s numerous ethnic enclaves. Learn how best to profile a community and its residents with crisp and imaginative visuals that can drive traffic to your web and social media sites and make your print publications more attractive.
The full-day session will offer you:
- Street photography ethics: the dos and don’ts of outdoor photography
- Tips for picking the theme, the subjects, the spots and the angles for your photos
- Instructions and guidance during the photo walk
- A critique of your work and production of a slideshow with a theme
Who can participate: Journalists from metro New York’s community and ethnic media who have cameras with manual controls (we will NOT be photographing with mobile phones) and the passion to improve their photography skills.
Only the first 10 registrants will be accepted on first-come, first-served basis. This training will be repeated in the future.
