Along the Way: Walking Broadway, from Inwood to South Ferry

The most traveled road in New York City, “The Great Broadway” teems with vibrant activity, shifting light, and distinct cultures with every step and turn. This immersive street photography class explores several of the most iconic neighborhoods along Broadway, guiding students from the historic northern stretches of Inwood and Washington Heights down through the Upper West Side and Lincoln Center, the electric pulse of Midtown and Times Square, and into the rich artistic heritage of Greenwich Village and SoHo.

Class meetings alternate dynamically between on-location image-making and rigorous classroom critiques back at ICP. These sessions leave ample room for thoughtful discussions, supportive peer reviews, technical skill-building—such as mastering flash, night exposure, and comfortably approaching strangers—and introductions to both historical and contemporary street photographers who have called New York City their stomping grounds.

Open to all skill levels, this course is designed to be fun, dynamic, informative, and encouraging, helping students build real-time confidence navigating and capturing the energy of NYC streets. Through on-location guidance and constructive critiques, students will learn to translate their unique visual voice onto the frame, understand how their work relates to the broader tradition of street photography, and find lasting inspiration in the urban landscape.

Course Level / Prerequisite: Open to all skill levels. Students ranging from beginner to experienced will be successful in classes that are Open to All Skill Levels.
