The evening
A sample evening. Start times follow the sunset.
5:00 pm
Meet and set up
Meet in the Meatpacking District and set up your camera for photographing people on the street.
5:15 pm
Posing and expression
Work with the models in natural light, and learn to direct poses and expressions so people look relaxed instead of stiff.
5:30 pm
Golden hour
Low, warm sun until sunset, the best natural light of the day.
6:12 pm
Blue hour, then flash
As the sky turns deep blue, add flash and balance it with the last of the daylight.

Night and city lights
Light the models with flash while the city turns into bokeh behind them.
Before 8 pm

A student’s note to Tony
“Exactly the kind of hands-on learning experience I’ve been craving.”
Mrero MgeniTraveled from Massachusetts for the workshop@muziquelovr on InstagramThe format
“That rhythm—see it, try it, refine it—broadened my skillset while also validating a few techniques I already use.”
The teaching
“There wasn’t a single question you couldn’t or wouldn’t answer, and it was clear your goal was to give us tools we could use today—no fluff, no filler, just practical, real-world techniques.”
Directing a model
“As someone who isn’t naturally assertive or ‘bossy,’ it was empowering to learn how to guide a subject with confidence while still keeping them comfortable.”
Questions
Is it right for my skill level?
Yes. All skill levels are welcome. With two instructors for up to 10 photographers, you get help with your own camera at every setup.
How much time will I get with the models?
Lots. There are two professional NYC models and two instructors for up to 10 photographers, so everyone gets plenty of time with each model.
What should I bring?
A camera and your favorite portrait lens, a charged battery, an empty memory card and a warm layer. It cools off quickly after sunset.
Where exactly do we meet?
In the Meatpacking District in Manhattan. Tony emails the exact meeting spot and a map the day before.
What if it rains?
If we have to call it off for weather, you can switch to a later date or get a full refund.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes. Each photographer needs a spot, so book 2 spots when the next date goes on sale.
Will Tony really take my portrait?
Yes, if you want one. It’s part of the evening.
When is the next date?
New dates are being scheduled now. Join the list and you’ll hear first, before a date is announced anywhere else.
