Architecture Photography Unfolded
New York

Overview
We’re going back to New York City and its world-class architecture! Join us, Angie McMonigal and Michael Muraz, for an architecture photography workshop on September 26-29, 2019.
This workshop is intended to focus on the creative aspects of architectural photography. While we’re there to guide you regarding gear and camera settings on location, the emphasis is on developing your unique creative vision, composition and seeing your subjects in a new way.
