New York Photography Workshops  

This workshop is intended to help improve creativity using conventional cameras as well as smartphone cameras.. Hands-on classes and field trips are being offered so people of all ages can learn the fundamental techniques turning ordinary snapshots into dramatic images. Classes for the remainder of the winter season and upcoming spring season are scheduled. Details about summer 2026 classes will roll out the end of February. Field trips around Rochester and in the Finger Lakes Region will be coordinated with upcoming classes. Join up and turn your vision into images and your images into reality.


PHOTOGRAPH THE FOUR SEASONS

Each season, New York Photography Workshops (NYPW) offers workshops keyed to fundamental skills for that season. The classes include an initial zoom meeting for everybody to get acquainted, followed by two or three in person sessions, then a field trip to practice the skills learned.  Then follow up classes to critique your photos plus how to edit your images for posting and printing. The initial zoom meeting occurs on a Monday evening. The following classes are on Wednesday evenings. Outdoor field trips are scheduled on Saturdays and most often begin at 2pm when the light is generally better than during midday.  Indoor field trips are scheduled at various times depending on the venue.
