Do you dream of being as cool and sexy as New York photographer John-Marshall Mantel, who has decades of experience working with major media entities such as
THE NEW YORK TIMES
THE NEW YORK POST
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
REDUX PICTURES
Yes you do!
That is why you want to sign up for PHOTOGRAPHY CONSULTATIONS and EDUCATIONAL EVENTS such as:
New York Neighborhoods Street Photography. You and I will get out there together, like jungle cats, on the Bowery, up and down Avenue A, in the East Village and the Lower East Side, and all the way down to Chinatown, photographing this tough and romantic United Nations of a city. We will shoot, edit, discuss, rinse, and repeat. And we will explore iconic cultural hotspots such as Climax Books, Dashwood Projects, The Hole, The Immigrant, and Key Food.
Photo agency, wire service, and newspaper photojournalism - Learn the rules, follow the rules, break the rules.
Digital camera and film/flash FUNdamentals - A $10 Nintendo DS may be better for you than a $10,000 Hasselblad.
Zine, book, and art gallery projects - Make something out of nothing. I do, why not you.
Portfolio and website edits - Break out of the reductive good picture vs. bad picture paradigm.
Individuals, small groups, student and professional photographers, all welcome.
