We are returning to Maine's Acadia National Park on the rocky coast that surrounds Frenchman's Bay. Join us, as we explore the oldest National Park east of the Mississippi and see why it is such a treasure.
Whether foggy or sunny, there are always photographic opportunities.
Off season, this part of Maine is wild and wooly. With locations in the Park named Schoodic (SKOH-dick) Point, Bass Harbor, The Bubbles, Ship Harbor, and Otter Point, along with Birch-lined carriage roads, there is plenty of variety to tempt your eye.
Around Frenchman's Bay, you can also find wooden boat building, pristine harbors, and quaint villages.
Maine is also known for its seafood, so there will be plenty of opportunity to sample that famous Maine lobster, shrimp, and scallops.
The Barefoot Contessa grew up sailing
this whole coast, so knows it well. We look forward to introducing you to special
locations where you'll be able to celebrate
your passion for photography, hone your seeing and imaging skills, and learn
about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs.
We will be based in a lovely inn, complete with a spa for your spouse or SO, and ocean views for those who wish them in Bar Harbor, gateway to the park.
Scouting Option:
For those who want more time with Margo and Arnie, we offer the opportunity to scout and shoot with them before most of our domestic workshops. We limit this to two people per day who ride in the car with the instructors. During these days while Arnie and Margo do their own photography and final scouting for the workshop, there is also lots of individual instruction and discussions about photography.
Lightroom Private Instruction:
Some of our participants prefer to come in a day ahead and get some added instruction in Lightroom.
Practical Details:
We start out with some technical information before heading out for our first afternoon of photography. Our workshops include the following:
Maximum 6-to-1 ratio students to instructors
Opening wine-and-pizza reception;
Primer booklet to help you get started;
Early-morning and late-afternoon shoots;
Mid-day downloading of your images and processing with the latest version

Lots of individual instruction in both the field and classroom;
Daily critiques, both individual and group;
Discussions on various aspects of photography, including digital workflow; and
Lots of fun and frivolity throughout!
If you have not already done so, be sure to check our FAQs for
questions you may have as well as for equipment and installed downloads you need
to bring to the workshop including, if necessary, the free, 30-day, trial versions
of Adobe and other imaging products.
You will also receive written instructions on the ins and outs of successfully and easily turning your favorite digital
images into beautiful prints straight out of the latest version of Lightroom using your own printer.
