New York City Skylines: Supermoon Photography Workshop
New York's stunning skyline at night
May 19 – 23, 2027
- Photograph a rare supermoon over NYC landmarks and Jersey shore
- Capture sunrise at the Statue of Liberty and NYC skyline at night
- Learn moonrise plotting, location tips, and image review techniques
Photographing a supermoon is a magical experience. As it rises above the horizon—larger and brighter than usual—it glows in warm golden tones before shifting to a cool, silvery light as it climbs higher into the sky. It’s a breathtaking sight for stargazers, and an irresistible challenge for photographers.
During this workshop, you’ll learn how to capture the supermoon in all its luminous detail—its brightness, texture, and dramatic scale—especially when framed against the iconic New York City skyline. We’ll guide you to carefully scouted vantage points that offer striking compositions, including aerial perspectives and sweeping cityscapes.
In addition to the supermoon, we’ll photograph a stunning sunrise over the Statue of Liberty, explore the skyline at golden hour, sunset, and into the night, and visit the Jersey Shore for a peaceful beach sunrise session. You’ll also learn how to accurately plot moonrise locations so you can confidently plan future shots on your own.
Throughout the experience, you’ll receive hands-on guidance in the field and thoughtful image reviews focused on technique, composition, and post-processing—ensuring you leave with the skills and images to match this unforgettable celestial event.
