luxury photographic adventures in new york city
Welcome to your tailor-made cityscape photography workshop in the big apple: Manhattan - the city that genuinely never sleeps.
With its unique blend of art-deco historic buildings, alongside huge steel and glass towers, New York really is a cityscape and street photographer's dream. Countless vantage points, from down low, high above the streets and in up in the sky above provide us with unending opportunities to capture the electricity of this 24/7 city. Working directly with Paul, before, during and after your journey throughout this incredible city, you'll be treated to stunning locations, amazing experiences and down-to-earth photographic tuition which will ensure you capture both fine art prints that you'll be proud to display for all to see, as well as memories that will last a lifetime.
Staying in luxury accommodation in the heart of the action, we can incorporate landscape, aerial, cityscape and street photography into one custom workshop itinerary, delivering a portfolio of your own stunning images that will be truly unique and special to you.
