Barefoot Contessa Photo adventures

The Artists:

Margo Taussig Pinkerton

Margo Taussig Pinkerton, a.k.a. The Barefoot Contessa, got her first camera at age eight and has been photographing and traveling with a passion ever since. She has been a location and stock photographer for advertising, corporate, travel, and outdoor clients for over 25 years, and has given numerous photo workshops and sponsored lectures and led many photo adventures. Her award-winning work has appeared in a plethora of solo and group art exhibitions, calendars, coffee-table books, and magazines worldwide, including GEO and National Geographic Traveler. Growing up in an artistic family that exposed her to the great museums and painters of the world has given Margo a unique insight into composition and beautiful light.

Arnold "Arnie" Zann, Margo's husband and partner, started his career photographing for LIFE and Time and has been published in almost every major magazine in the world. His award-winning work is in many private and museum collections including the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY, Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City, NY, and the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, IL. He has given numerous workshops and seminars throughout his long career travelling the world for editorial and Fortune 500 clients. Arnie's first love is black-and-white photography, and his knowledge of the zone system and lighting brings strength to his photographs.
Both Margo and Arnie run photography workshops through Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures. They get great satisfaction from helping photographers seek their own vision and strenghen their eye and composition.

Their passion is making beautiful images worldwide. As Margo always says, "We cannot not do photography."
