Architectural Photography Workshop in Brooklyn / NYC
I am an educator in the architectural photography space and teach my processes to photographers all over the world. Back in April, I hosted an architectural photography workshop with my good friend, Brian Berkowitz in New York City. Brooklyn, to be specific.
The workshop was a two-day event - one for commercial architecture and the second for residential. We hosted and taught 10 photographers who traveled to learn our processes and approach to architectural photography and we all walked away with new lessons and some amazing images.
In this post, I wanted to share some of the images I made, as well as some behind-the-scenes photos from our workshops. Of course, I didn't have a lot of time to make too many of my own images because the majority of my time was spent helping the attendees make their own powerful images, but here are a few I enjoyed.
If you are interested in attending a workshop in the future to learn my processes - or attending a 1x1, please reach out!
Our group (minus 2 people) at the waterfront on day two, Manhattan in the background.
One of the amenity spaces we worked through on the commercial day. The views didn't hurt - see the Statue of Liberty in the background?
One of my favorites from the residential day. Our model settled in naturally and I just let it happen.
The kitchen on day two with one of our attendees sitting in to model. With the light wood, marble, and a clean morning light, we didn't have to manufacture any artificial lighting to make this shot work. It was done handheld and was a single-exposure…. sacrilege to most photographers.
The day 1 group on the terrace during a break between setups.
Brooklyn stretching out behind one of our attendees on the terrace.
The covered lounge between buildings - one of those spaces that photographs better than it sounds on paper.
The lobby nook. That blue upholstery against the wood panels was hard to walk past without stopping.
Everyone finding their own angle on the same space.
