Photography Class: Composition in the Field - Battery Park City, New York
Explore Battery Park City while learning camera settings, natural light and creative composition.
Your photography class begins with a brief conversation led by an experienced instructor, helping you see Battery Park City through a photographer’s eye. From there, you’ll step outside to explore one of Manhattan’s most visually distinctive neighborhoods, from waterfront parks and tucked-away plazas to the striking contrast between open sky and dense city architecture. Along the way, you’ll discover unexpected angles, learn to make the most of natural light over the water and practice finding compelling compositions in places many visitors simply walk past. Whether you’re shooting with a DSLR or mirrorless camera, you’ll walk away with sharper instincts, stronger technical skills and more confidence behind the lens.

Very nice group of people and made sure every detail was planned out thoroughly. Ron, who was our photographer instructor, was very good as laying out how our camera works. Very nice introduction.
