About
New York is a city known for its busy streets and high volume of tourists each year, making it difficult to capture its beauty without interference. However, there is one solution to this problem - getting up early and taking photographs at dawn. The early morning light creates a magical atmosphere that showcases the city's architecture and landmarks in a unique way. Avoid the crowds and capture stunning photos of the city that never sleeps.
Each tour is crafted to the skills and needs of the participants. Apart from taking photos, you can also expect to Learn:
-
Creative composition, using lines, repetition, and camera angles
-
Training your Eye: composition, subjects, lighting
-
How to pose people and get great portraits
-
Take control of your Camera: f-stop, shutter speed, ISO and focusing
-
Reviewing your photography
The tours start at different times during the year to accommodate the changing sunrise. Tour start times will reflect the gradual change in the sunrise over the year, with the earliest at 5:00 am during the height of summer and the latest at 7:00 am in midwinter. The calendar is pre-populated with the correct start time for your chosen date. If you have any particular location you want to shoot, just let us know, and we will work it into the itinerary.
Each tour is private, and we will not couple you with people you do not know. Feel free to bring along guests, such as other photographer friends or your partner and family, but we ask you to limit the group to four people. This way, we can work at your pace to make sure you take away the skills that last a lifetime.
