*Leica will be supporting this New York Street Photography Workshop by offering students the chance to use their wonderful Leica M9 digital camera with a wide angle lens during the week.

"Peter Turnley, a renowned international photojournalist and teacher of street photography will offer two new master classes in one of the world’s most visually exciting cities. There are daily lectures and presentations by Peter Turnley as well as distinguished members of the New York photographic community. During the workshop students will also visit some of the city’s unique photography museums and exhibitions. The workshop meets daily for approx. 3-4 hours each day at Peter’s apartment on the upper west side of Manhattan. Students are encouraged to spend the rest of each day over the 7 day workshop, which starts on a Sunday afternoon and finishes at noon the following Saturday, exploring and photographing life in the streets of what is possibly the world’s most exciting city. There are daily edit sessions of students’ work. The workshop ends with a final show with each student producing a 15-photograph picture story/essay that will be edited together with Peter Turnley on the day before the final day of the workshop. This workshop focuses on helping students overcome any anxiety or timidity in photographing people. Peter Turnley introduces a camera technique that is a time tested, proven approach for making spontaneous and authentic photographs in the Cartier-Bresson spirit of capturing the “decisive moments” in daily life. Turnley helps students find a sense of purpose in their photography-and pushes students to plug into their personal interests and passions to help them better share a visual response to their feelings and perceptions of the world around them. The workshop also pushes students to think in terms of creating a narrative with a set of photographs, and helps students find their own personal vision and photographic language..."
