Course Description
Peter Turnley, a renowned international photojournalist and teacher of street photography will offer two new master classes in one of the worlds’ most visual cities. There are daily lectures and presentations by Peter Turnley and distinguished members of the New York photographic community. The workshop meets daily for approx. 3-4 hours at Peter’s apartment in Harlem. Students will be pushed to choose a theme of life and spend half of each day photographing that theme. Peter will provide a wide list of photographic themes. Themes can be broad such as the life of Times Square, Harlem, Central Park, Madison Ave., Soho, the West Village, etc., or can be narrower such as the life of one street corner, or musicians in the subway, etc. Peter spends 30 minutes daily with each student reviewing and editing the previous days work. Student will work towards establishing a 15-image picture story or photo essay and the workshop culminates with a final show on Saturday morning. Students are guests for a group dinner on Monday night, and a final dinner on Friday evening. Peter’s apartment is at a very convenient, exciting, and safe location in central Harlem in the beautiful Lenox Terrace apartments (where NY’s governor Patterson lives) two minutes from the #2, and #3, subway stop at 135th Street and Lenox Ave. From Peter’s apartment, students can be in Times Square in 15 minutes, and downtown NY in 20 minutes by subway.

Students find their own lodging during the week and possibilities are plentiful and most locations in NY are practically located in distance of Peter’s apartment in Harlem.

Students will shoot with a 35mm digital camera, and will decide from the outset if they will photograph in color, or convert their story to black and white. Peter Turnley is a specialist at photographing people and at teaching photographic technique and how to approach subject matter and loose timidity and anxiety photographing people.
