Leica Akademie North America continues Leica's long tradition of photographic education through experiential workshops offered in cities across North America. The Akademie's goal is to increase the fun and enjoyment of photography, expand photography knowledge and bring the total Leica experience to a new generation of photographers. Whether you are an experienced Leica photographer or a novice, there is no better way to learn Leica than the Leica Akademie & classes will be offered in New York City this fall. Their street photography and 2 day weekend classes are sold out, but there are 3 other classes that you can enroll in, including a travel photography class given in conjunction with Lonely Planet Magazine & their M9 shooting experience!
