Nikonians Academy presents Steve Simon 6-day exclusive

Academy-SQ-Simon_NYC_110.jpgJoin award-winning street photographer Steve Simon for an unforgettable week of living and breathing photography in one of the world's most visual cities, New York.

This special edition of his Passionate Photographer Workshop runs from Thursday, October 8 to Tuesday, October 13th.

This annual televised event has more than 35,000 participants marching down 5th Avenue between 44th and 79th streets with more than 500,000 spectators cheering along the route of this colorful and meaningful photo opportunity.

Steve has secured press passes from the parade organizers so we can shoot along the parade route strictly secured by the NNew York Police Department, and not on the sidewalks behind the barricades where spectators line-up. These city-authorized press credentials mean we can walk and shoot along the parade route for the best images; not confined to the packed sidewalks behind barricades.

Locations may include: Times Square, High Line Park, Harlem, Fifth Avenue & 57 Street, Brooklyn Bridge, Chinatown, Little Italy and the Lower East Side, Union Square, Washington Square Park, Queens, Coney Island and other parts of Brooklyn.

The Passionate Photographer Workshop is usually a 2-day event. This is a unique opportunity for a 6-day full-immersion class on Street Photography with an award-winning street photographer who also happens to be great teacher.
