Manhattan’s Street Photography Workshop Snaps in East Village

East Village clicked last night with Manhattan’s Street Photography Workshop, framing NYC’s spring at a 2nd Avenue loft. Shooter Jay Patel taught candids as 40 snapped, a $20 class for lens kids. It’s borough shots—pure EV vibe, shutters hot. A kid nabbed a bodega; a pro caught a stride. ‘Manhattan sees—this is it,’ Patel says, tweaking f-stops. The room turned darkroom.

The shop’s fresh—March 17’s start, it doubled since RSVPs, packing space by 6 p.m. Patel’s a LES snapper; last night’s crowd hit max—clicks rang. A latecomer nabbed a lens; streets buzzed—NYC grit glowed. Prints hit the wall—shots ruled. #NYCStreetPhoto trended; Brooklyn wants a frame.

Some griped—’Too rushed,’ sniped a newbie, dodging crowds. Light faded—ISO spiked; art held. A rival’s pitching a Chelsea shoot, splitting shutters. Still, 50 stayed—frames reigned. East Village’s never snapped so bold.

Patel’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a walk if spring bites. ‘NYC’s pulse—this catches it,’ he says, packing gear. The shop’s a Manhattan win—grit meets hue. It’s a photo rush; join the next. Bring a camera—streets call.
