New York, NY – January 18, 2017 – Adorama, one of the world’s largest photography, video, audio, imaging and electronics retailers, is teaming up with Chris Gampat, founder and editor-in-chief of popular photography blog The Phoblographer, to host three photography workshops both on the streets of Manhattan as well as at the Adorama Event Space in its flagship store on 42 West 18th Street in NYC. Each session will cover a different realm of photography with the goal of enhancing attendees’ technical abilities, enabling the creation of more impactful images. Sessions include: black and white/urban geometry photography (1/28-1/29), lighting for food photography (2/24-2/26) and portraiture (3/24-3/26).

Attendees can choose from three separate multi-day workshops to gain insight into three distinctly different photography applications. Or for the ambitious photographer, attend all three. Choose from:

January 28 & 29, 2017; $250

Join Chris on a journey to better street photography through Urban Geometry, a growing new branch of the genre. Built on the ideals of great photographers such as Cartier-Bresson, #UrbanGeometry on Instagram has turned into a growing movement focusing on the way the human eye perceives shapes and lines in a scene. Attendees will also become aware of how black and white photography works differently from color. Space is limited, register now!

February 24 – 26, 2017; Cost TBA

Attendees will be taken through a special workshop on lighting specifics when it comes to food photography.
