New York City – Dawn and Dusk
Phil Penman – May 17th – 19th, 2019 – (THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT)

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.

Topics covered include:

  • Planning your day of shooting
  • Finding the light
  • Chasing the light
  • Seeing light and shadow
  • Composition
  • Image editing and processing

Instructor:

Phil Penman comes from a tranquil corner in the county of Dorset, England. today he works as a freelance street photographer in New York. penman was born in 1977 in Briantspuddle a village in Dorset with 360 inhabitants and what feels like 30,000 sheep.

Phil had an interest in the visual arts, photography and darkroom work at an early age. After studying photography at the Berkshire college of art and design his first job was at the Wokingham times, a local newspaper published in Berkshire. Penman photographed just about everything, including babies, sheep, and local politicians. at age 21, he received an offer from a photo agency and took charge of their customer Microsoft UK. looking after the company meant taking most of the corporate portraits.

Phil did not let this tie him down and he left Great Britain and set out for the United States. New York was his ultimate destination but he made a detour to Los Angeles, where he worked for a celebrity news agency photographing living legends such as Jennifer Lopez, Bill Gates and superman Christopher Reeve. after six months, the agency sent him to New York to establish an office.

Phil has covered the biggest entertainment and news stories in America, including the September 11th world trade center terrorist attacks – for which his work won worldwide recognition. Penman has spent the past 15 years cycling around the city documenting a broad spectrum of New York life. Phil’s work has been exhibited at the Leica gallery in New York city as well as being featured in Leica Fotografie international. He currently travels across the world photographing assignments for a diverse range of clients including the best-selling magazines people and hello, British newspapers the independent, daily mirror, the sun, daily mail, daily telegraph and the guardian, as well as American publications USA today and New York post.
