Class Description

Description

Central Park transforms into a fascinating, visually distinctive nighttime photography destination, offering unique compositional challenges, dramatic subject matter, and creative opportunities rarely available during daylight hours. This specialized workshop focuses specifically and intensively on developing advanced composition skills optimized for low-light conditions and addressing the technical and creative issues photographers encounter when working after dark and in challenging lighting situations. Night photography presents genuine technical and creative challenges requiring specialized knowledge and technique, yet with proper instruction, structured practice, and strategic approaches, you can capture stunning, compelling images of distinctive subjects and scenes while avoiding common pitfalls and technical problems that plague novice night photographers.

During this guided, instructional photo workshop, participants visit some of Central Park's most iconic and frequently featured filming locations, accessing areas not always available to the general public or casual visitors. You'll practice capturing images in varied and complex lighting conditions typical of nighttime urban photography, work with different camera settings carefully optimized for nighttime shooting scenarios, and receive immediate, constructive feedback on your compositions, technique, and artistic choices. The workshop emphasizes practical problem-solving approaches for addressing challenges specific to night photography, including managing ambient light effectively, working with deep shadows and contrast extremes, maintaining detail and clarity in challenging conditions, and using available light creatively to enhance your images. You'll also explore how to use artificial light sources strategically and understand post-processing techniques specific to night images.

What You Will Learn:

  • Composition techniques specifically optimized for night and low-light photographic situations
  • Camera settings, exposure metering, and exposure strategies optimized for nighttime shooting
  • Equipment considerations and best practices for low-light and night photography
  • Lighting principles, ambient light management, and creative use of available light sources
  • Technical troubleshooting for common night photography challenges
  • Post-processing and editing techniques specifically for night images and low-light photography

Refund Policy

  • Participant may cancel a class up to 3 business days prior to its commencement and receive a full refund less 5% cancellation fee or credit towards a future class.
  • If Participant cancels within 3-2 business days prior to the start of their class, Participant shall be offered a refund or credit, minus a 25% administrative fee of the price paid per participant.
  • If Participant fails to cancel or reschedule 2 business days or more prior to the commencement of scheduled class, or does not attend said class, Participant is considered a “no show” and is not entitled to any refund or credit towards future classes.
  • If Participant is "no show", participant may reschedule by paying a $50 extension fee if Participant contacts CourseHorse within 24 hours after the end of the scheduled photo tour.

We are not responsible for Participant “no show” due to acts of God, transit delays, medical emergency, street closures, etc. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis at the schools sole discretion. Participants who decide to leave a class already in progress, for any reason, will not result in a full or partial refund. Joining a class late will also not result in a full or partial refund.

If a class is canceled by the school for any reason other than weather prior to the start of the session, Participant shall be entitled to a full refund or a full credit towards another class. Classes are “rain or shine” and every effort will be made to conduct a scheduled class. We reserve the right to make changes to any itinerary whenever, in our judgment, conditions warrant or if we deem it necessary for the convenience or safety of participants and instructors. If the school cancels, changes a location or itinerary of any class, We are not responsible for any cancellation fees or other costs incurred by participant.

The school may change the location or itinerary of a photo tour (and may move outdoor class indoors or move indoor class outdoors) due to any conditions outside the control of the school (including but not limited to weather conditions, transit strikes, protests, etc.). Every reasonable effort will be made to operate itineraries as planned, but alterations may still occur after final itineraries are sent. Location changes do not alter the refund and reschedule policies above, i.e. if a location change is announced within 48 hours of the start time of a safari and Participant wishes to reschedule, 25% rescheduling fee (as stated above) continues to apply.

All credits must be used within three (3) months from the date the original class was scheduled.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
