This workshop's goals

This workshop will give you some wings. By all possible means, we will get bird eyes to admire and photograph New York. Observatory decks, rooftops, terraces, boats, cable-car and of course helicopter, we will see the iron cliffs of Manhattan.


Sunsets and sunrises will shine down on the skyscrapers. Our focus will be to re-create the world famous skylines with our own recipes and tricks. It's a jaw-dropping adventure, and the most difficult is to stay focus through your viewfinder. In just a few days, you will get more experiences than many New Yorkers in a life time.

About the schedule

 This schedule is just an idea for how the days are organized.


Notice that if everyone wants to add something else, it will be done. I'm not here to subjugate you in rigid rails. We will start daily with a meeting about the walk of the day, about the visited neighborhoods, about the focus on 2-3 main buildings to be gone into more deeply. We will also discuss the choice of the lenses and the possible approaches of the subjects.


The afternoons will be lighter, with a short walk around some interesting landmarks, then you will have some spare time, for you to discover some personal subjects of interests or simply to play tourists.


About the helicopter

It's a four seats Robinson R44, with only two photographers at the same time (both left side for no blind spots). The doors are removed to enhance the quality of the shooting. We will speak with the pilot to determine the flight plan to follow.

The flight is subject to re-schedule according to the weather and authorizations (impossible when the US President is in town for example).

 

I don't include here the first and last days, the arrival one usually being used for reassembling, resting and working together on the program, while the departure day is generally devoted to shopping and souvenirs.
