Join our digital photography workshop in "Down East" Maine to
strengthen your eye, learn about the magic of light, and hone your printing skills. Maine is known for its dramatic rocky coast, pounding surf, wonderful lighthouses, and charming fishing harbors and coves. We will photograph in areas where Winslow Homer, Andy Wyeth, and other artists have painted for centuries. And we'll head to our favorite fish shack for the famous Maine lobster. The Barefoot Contessa grew up sailing this area, so knows it well and looks forward to introducing you to her special haunts.
We will be based in charming New Harbor in the heart of Margo's oft-visited locations, subjects of many of her shots published in calendars, travel magazines, and coffee-table books. Margo knows this area intimately. She spent her childhood Down East sailing in her dad's classic wooden yawl; in later years, she got to know the back roads of Maine by land. Margo will show you her special haunts where you can take advantage of the magic of light. You will see her favorite lighthouses, charming
fishing villages, and a stunning coastline punctuated by rocky outcroppings,
cozy harbors sprinkled with lobster boats, and the famous Maine fir trees.
At each of our photo adventures, 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 processing and tweaking your images with Photoshop and Lightroom;
Epson printing element with a booklet of step-by-step instructions;
Lots of individual instruction in both the field and classroom;
Critiques, both individual and group;
Discussions on various aspects of photography, including digital workflow;
Final group critique and show; and
Lots of fun and frivolity throughout!
In our print element, our instructors will show
you the ins and outs of successfully and easily turning your favorite digital
images into stunning prints using a high-quality Epson printer. In fact,
in all our domestic workshops, you will end up making a lovely, large, archival print of
one of your workshop photographs made with Epson paper and inks to take home with you.
Remember, our tag line reads, "Create great photos; make great
prints!"
