New York City -
October 22-26, 2025
Join me New York City to explore the challenging and rewarding genre of street photography. Our experience together will include group discussions in which we will consider different styles, ways of working and approaches to street photography, as well as image sharing, group photo walks, one-one photo walks, and personal time for each participant, if desired, to photograph on their own. We will also take advantage of opportunities to practice cityscape photography.
Limited to six participants, each workshop begins with an introductory dinner on the first evening, and concludes on the evening of the fourth day with a closing dinner. The first and fifth days, then, are essentially travel days. The workshop registration fee is $1500, including the opening and closing dinners, excluding alcohol, on days one and five. (As your workshop leader, I do not expect or accept gratuities.)
Not included: airfare to destination city, transfers between airport and host hotel, meals, excluding the opening and closing dinners, passport and visa fees, if applicable, travel insurance, which is recommended, but not required. A deposit of $500 is payable upon registration, with the balance due 90 days prior to the workshop. For more information, or to register, contact me at mark@schumannphoto.com, or call me at 505.901.2544. If I am unable to answer your call immediately, please leave a voice message and I will return your call as soon a possible.
Explore with fellow photographers some of the most vibrant cities in the world for street photography. Discover new ways of seeing and photographing street life. Develop your own unique vision for creating interesting and compelling images.
In-field assistance: My priority is to offer each participant the assistance they want and need to make good images, and to get the most out of their workshop experience.
Cancellation Policy: A deposit reserves your place in the workshop of your choice. The remaining balance is due 90 days prior to the start date of your workshop, unless otherwise specified. Deposits are refundable, less a $200 cancellation fee, up to 120 days prior to your start date. From 120 days to 60 days prior to your workshop start date, deposits can be applied to another Mark Schumann Photo Tours workshop, provide your request to reschedule is received in writing. Though not required, trip-cancellation insurance is strongly recommended.

Client Reviews:
“Mark was proactive, asking me about my own photography and what I wanted out of our excursion, and offering hands-on tips the entire time.” - Matt
“Spending the day with Mark was a pleasure. He is an engaging, intelligent and talented man. I am a novice photographer and learned a great deal about the functions of my digital camera as well as photo composition in landscape photography.” - Philip
“My husband is a past-pro and now hobby photographer, and I have some (but limited) photography experience. Mark did a great job of meeting both of us at our ability and comfort levels. He was able to switch between working with my husband and his mirrorless DLSR and me and my iPhone when I got tired of shooting with my DSLR! Mark checked in with us on what we were interested in shooting, and customized our site visits accordingly.” - Stephanie
