Photographing New York City can create a classic and timeless look that showcases the city's architecture, streets, and people in a unique way.
There is a plethora of ideas and themes we will be using for photographing New York City. From its people and its architecture to the stories from the streets, the city with it's timeless theme is also ideal for unique black and white photography.
​
We will be taking the city by foot. Walking amongst the citizens, feeling their energy and seeing the sights from their point of view will show us what it’s like to live and experience the Big Apple.
Ken Childress and Dave Soldano of American Photo Treks, join me to share with you stunning locations and awesome opportunities to create amazing stories from the streets. From the people to the cityscape itself, you will capture real images that are full of life with impact and emotion. You can't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity, can you?
​
ARCHITECTURE
Manhattan has some of the world's most recognizable buildings, such as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Freedom Tower and Oculus plus many other architectural wonders. You can photograph these buildings from different angles, using different compositions and lighting to create dramatic and striking images.
​
STORIES of the STREET
The streets of NYC are bustling with activity, and we suggest BW to capture that energy. Using a photojournalistic style for people on the streets captures candid moments and tells tales of these individual’s lives at those moments in time. BW imagery also showcases the diversity and vibrancy of the city and its peoples.
​
BRIDGES & THE WATERFRONT
Manhattan is surrounded by water, with bridges connecting it to other boroughs and cities. We will photograph DUMBO and the iconic Brooklyn Bridge or the lesser-known Manhattan Bridge, creating dramatic images of the city's infrastructure.
​
CENTRAL PARK
Central Park is an oasis in the middle of Manhattan, with beautiful landscapes, ponds, and bridges. You can capture the park's beauty with BW creating moody and atmospheric images that convey the park's tranquility. We will also capture the stories of its people as they walk, run, and relax in Central Park.
NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
Manhattan's skyline is stunning at night. Capturing it in BW allows for the city’s stories to be revealed before our lenses. We’ll photograph the city from a high vantage point, such as a rooftop or a bridge, using long exposure times to capture the light trails of cars, the blur of constantly moving citizens and the city's energy.

WORKSHOP CANCELLATION, DEPOSIT, PAYMENT
& REFUND POLICIES
We must rely on your confirmed attendance to make important arrangements, reservations and payments in advance for your workshop to be a positive and pleasant experience. If you need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible.
DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS . . .
Your initial deposit is fully refundable within 72 hours of making the deposit. After 72 hours, your deposit becomes non-refundable. The balance of the workshop is due 30 days before the first day of the workshop. If your initial deposit is made inside of 30 days from the first day of the workshop, full payment may be required in lieu of the usual deposit. A payment schedule may be arranged if this makes attending a Soul Road Trip more possible for you. Contact me directly for an installment payment opportunity. EMAIL
CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS & TRANSFERS . . .
Sometimes you need to cancel a trip. Plans and desires change and we understand that. We also hope that you understand certain arrangements, reservations and plans must be made weeks if not months out from a workshop. Deposits are used to make these arrangements to make your experience a pleasant one. Of course, we wish you to come again and again and to tell your friends about your wonderful experience.
However, if you must cancel, please be aware of these policies. After the initial 72 hours after making a deposit, that deposit is non-refundable. If you cancel after 72 hours and 30 days before the first day of the workshop, any additional monies are refundable less a 15% administration fee. If you must cancel within 30 days before the first day of the workshop, all funds are non-refundable so we recommend travel insurance. Check out allianz.com or squaremouth.com for trip insurance opportunities.
Workshop registrations are usually NOT transferable. We will take each situation on a case-by-case basis. If Soul Road Trips needs to cancel a workshop, we will let you know as soon as possible and at least 14 days prior to the first day of the scheduled workshop, and immediately refund your full tuition. However, we will not be responsible for non-refundable airline tickets or lodging reservations. Please do not purchase airline tickets or make non-refundable deposits on lodging that cannot be canceled before the trip.
