INSTRUCTED BY SHARON TENENBAUM
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE COMPRISED OF 3 PARTS:
PART I: PRE-COURSE ZOOM INSTRUCTIONS - 2 three-hour Zoom sessions (total of 6 hours) in which Sharon Tenenbaum will be teaching how to create her signature Blurred Cityscapes (as in her body of work Impressions of a City). Additionally, we will touch on various forms of fine art architectural photography (abstract, expressive, long exposure, image stacking, advanced b&w post-processing, etc.). Sharon will explore with participants the diverse ways in which each location visited during the workshop can be photographed.
Please note this workshop will have early morning and evening/nighttime shooting outings. We will break mid-day for rest.
Additionally, some indoor locations (casinos hotels will only allow iPhone photography).
Zoom Session 1: Wednesday, Mar. 26, 2025 10:00 am - 1:00 pm PST
Zoom Session 2: Wednesday, Apr. 2, 2025 10:00 am - 1:00 pm PST
Participants will receive the recordings of these sessions.
PART II: FIELD SHOOTING in LAS VEGAS - Guided on-location shoots APRIL 8-10, 2025. Sharon will be giving personal attention to each participant and guiding them toward achieving a variety of fine art architectural styles. The Las Vegas Workshop is unique from other locations. Due to the strong mid-day sun, the field shootings will take place primarily in the early mornings and late afternoons/evenings. We will either take a mid-day break or have a classroom session (on Day 2 during mid-day).
April 7 - Meet and Greet in the evening at the Hilton Vacation Club Polo Towers Las Vegas.
PART III: POST-COURSE REVIEW ON ZOOM - Students will submit 6 images of various fine art architectural forms they took during the workshop. Sharon will review and critique the images from participants in 2 additional Zoom sessions of 3 hours each (total of 6 hours).
Zoom Session 3: Wednesday, Apr. 23, 2025 10:00 am - 1:00 pm PST
Zoom Session 4: Wednesday, Apr. 30, 2025 10:00 am - 1:00 pm PST
Participants will receive the recordings of these sessions.
NOTE: To maximize your benefit from this workshop, it is recommended to have knowledge of Basic and Intermediate Photoshop (layers, masks, selections, pen tool, and gradients).
The fundamental principles of Image Stacking and Long Exposure Photography will not be taught during the workshop, rather, they will be mentioned, clarified of course should you have any questions, and most certainly, encouraged to use. If you already have knowledge of these techniques, awesome! You will benefit greatly and Sharon can help you take your images to the next level! However, If you need to brush up on your Photoshop skills and would like to learn the Image Stacking technique, please refer to Sharon’s Online Workshops which are taught periodically.
This workshop will have a wide emphasis on all forms of fine art architecture as well as learning the Blurred Cityscapes technique. Most importantly, as is in all of Sharon Tenenbaum’s workshops, there will be a strong emphasis on developing Vision in approaching and creating Fine Art Architectural images.

What students have to say about Sharon’s teachings:
“If you are looking for ways to revitalize your photographic art and creativity I highly recommend Sharon's workshop. I attended Sharon's New York City workshop in the Spring of 2019. It was superb. Sharon is a terrific teacher, and I learned some really important fundamentals for using Photoshop to transform RAW images into works of fine art. She is also an expert in capturing long-exposure images which is a new specialization for me. Time and money well spent. Thank you, Sharon!”

THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU IF YOU ARE…

Additionally, throughout the workshop, we will explore a variety of Architectural Fine Art techniques (Stacked Images, Gradient Lighting, Long Exposure, etc.) that celebrate the ART in Architecture.
A PHOTOGRAPHY ENTHUSIAST WHO WANTS TO STEP UP THEIR GAME AND CREATE SOME JAW-DROPPING IMAGES?
My objective in this workshop is to not only provide you with thought-provoking ideas and concepts, but to provide an immediate context that will allow you to record memorable images of iconic settings in a way that will challenge you and will allow you to bring home images your colleagues, friends, and family will drool over.
A VERY ORGANIZED, RATIONAL AND LOGICAL INDIVIDUAL WHO WANTS TO DISCOVER AND ASSERT YOUR CREATIVE SIDE?
Sharon builds on her analytical engineering background to create systematic and easy-to-understand step-by-step lessons to help you understand and gain insight into different and creative ways of transforming architectural images into Art.

During the workshop we will be spending full days together, shooting, chatting and socializing. It is a great opportunity to meet and make life-long friends and creative peers.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
WHAT TO BRING TO LAS VEGAS?
FILTERS: ND filters (for slow shutter shots or long exposures). Look under Gear and Filters Blog for which filters to get.
A tripod is a given as we will shooting evenings. Please bring a tripod that is sturdy enough that you can carry with you all day (about 15k steps a day).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some locations like inside casinos, which are very few on our list, do not allow photographing with a camera yet do allow cell phone cameras. In our itinerary we only have one of these locations, however, there are many in Las Vegas to explore. So…if you are looking to upgrade your cell phone, I would recommend doing so before the workshop.
GETTING AROUND: Even though we will be cabbing/Ubering to and from most destinations, please be prepared to walk a fair bit and carry your photography gear (about 15k steps a day).
ACCOMMODATION: Sharon will be staying at Hilton Vacation Club Polo Towers Las Vegas (3745 Las Vegas Boulevard South Las Vegas NV 89109). Feel free to make your accommodations there or anywhere else you choose and connect with the group from your location. I do highly recommend booking your accommodations as soon as possible (but with flexible cancellation options) as prices tend to go up if you wait until the last minute.
