Some of the best light in New York is early morning and early evening. The sun is low and the landscape of the city comes alive with light and shadow. The light seems to dance off of the glistening sheets of glass that cover the amazing steel structures of the city. People go into silhouette as they walk into to sun and seem to disappear into nowhere as they are engulfed by the steam coming from the city’s underbelly.
Overview:
Join the Leica Akademie and Phil Penman as we explore the city. Phil has photographed New York for many years and enjoys photographing the city at these times. He will take us around to areas rich in texture when bathed in early morning or evening light. He will also be giving us insight into his creative process from how he sees to how he selects and then edits the final images.

The light seems to dance off of the glistening sheets of glass that cover the towering steel structures of the city.

Building on the success of Phil Penman’s previous “Dawn to Dusk” Leica Weekends, this program provides the same opportunity to experience Penman’s creative process, on-location in the streets of New York, with the added focus of learning what he does after the picture is taken. Participants will take a deep dive into his editing, workflow process and conclude the weekend with the rare opportunity to have a professional critique with Curator Julie Grahame.
