Digital Transitions with Adam Elstein Presents: Space, Light and the City: Architectural Photography in NYC  

Experiential Workshop- Friday April 24 – Sunday April 26

Adam Elstein has partnered with Digital Transitions to bring you a workshop focused on the art and craft of architecture photography in the city-scape of New York. You’ll get a unique hands-on opportunity to experience shooting with the world’s most advanced photographic equipment from Phase One , Cambo &  Wine Country Filters with print output provided by Blazing Editions.

Architectural photography is a demanding discipline that poses a number of technical and aesthetic challenges. It requires a deep understanding of perspective, composition, environmental dynamics, and interaction of light and space.  

This workshop is a perfect combination of both classroom presentations held at the Digital Transitions NY Showroom and shooting at some of the most iconic locations around the New York City area. 

We will cover a step-by-step workflow for architectural photography, including how to:

• Choose the right equipment for the job
• Conduct a virtual location scout 
• Understand environmental dynamics and the interplay of time, weather, form, and light
• Use camera position and lens movements to optimize composition and perspective
• Exploit the unique advantages of technical camera systems
• Employ advanced capture strategies such exposure averaging and focus stacking
• Use neutral density filters
• Develop alternative looks and process your images for maximum impact

This workshop is invaluable for aspiring architectural and interior photographers, designers and architects seeking to improve the images they take of their own work, those in the real estate business, and anyone who loves architecture and the built environment.

What’s included:

• Three mornings of Classroom Instruction/Presentation (light breakfast included)
• Two afternoon/evenings of shooting around NYC, Long Island City, and Brooklyn (exact locations to be provided prior workshop)
