About this Event

Seeing With New Eyes - Coney Island Street Photography Workshop

The Coney Island Mermaid Parade is fabulous for street photography and it's always rich with opportunities to capture street photography.

In this workshop we will explore how to;

* Use composition to capture better photos

* Explore different styles of shooting street photography

* Choose optimal camera settings for street photography

* Learn techniques to overcome a fear of shooting street

* Practice seeing with new eyes

The train trip to Coney Island is about 45 minutes. We will spend 4hours on the street shooting, discussing and reviewing. No matter what your level of experience is, amateur to professional, there’s something for everyone. All digital cameras are good for the workshop. And film works too! Wide angle lenses are suggested. We’ll stop for coffee and to discuss at some point as well.

I have been offering personal and group street photography workshops for 12+ years now and I can say that we always have fun and come away with plenty of fabulous street photos.


This workshop is limited to 5 people and social distancing and proper face covering are practiced as deemed necessary.

The workshop runs rain or shine with the exception of extreme weather. Please be on time or even esrly, Make certain to have fully charged batteries, empty memory cards, wear comfortable shoes and prepare for the weather. You can see some of my recent street photography on my site.

"Learned so much! Thank you! Great workshop for anyone looking to improve their photography and knowledge of the city.” John, New York City. See more reviews on my site.
