Deconstructing the Art of the Unobserved.

A workshop with York Place is not a seminar; it is a fundamental disruption of how you see the world. Since 2006, we have traveled the globe - from the streets of Bali to the conferences of Barcelona - sharing a philosophy that rejects the safety of the pose in favor of the thrill of the moment.

We believe that documentary education should be as raw as the images themselves. In our workshops and webinars, we move beyond the final frame to reveal the sequences, the failures, and the real-time decision-making that leads to a "hit." Whether you are a photographer or a filmmaker, we provide the technical transparency and psychological tools needed to find order within chaos.

Our mission is to help you move past the technical and into the instinctive. By deconstructing the geometry, layering, and timing of our own 20-year archive, we provide a roadmap for navigating the unpredictable. 

We don’t just show you what we saw; we show you how we saw it, providing the clarity and confidence to trust your own eye in any environment—from the quietest intimate moments to the most complex, high-pressure scenes.
