New York City is magical during the holidays. The tree at Rockefeller Center is one of the world's most beloved holiday images. Adorned with tens of thousands of lights and a Swarovski crystal star, it's an eye-catching testament to the Christmas spirit—and its roots in the Great Depression (the first version of the tree included tin cans among its ornaments) reflect New Yorkers' famous optimism and determination. Festive holiday displays throughout the five boroughs create an unparalleled environment of celebration and joy.

This workshop incorporates a mix of photographic learning and discussion in the classroom, as well as exploration and practice out in the field. Most days include a photo shoot in the field, hands on learning, on location demos, specific assignments to enhance your photographic skills, and  edit-and-critique sessions in our designated classroom. The weekend is capped off by a final image presentation to showcase participants’ best or favorite work taken throughout the weekend/week.
