Exhibition:  Arnold Zann Photography Retrospective | Mar. 15 - Apr. 13, 2024 | For those who could not attend the opening reception March 15, I returned to Through This Lens to give an in-depth talk about the exhibition Saturday, March 23. If people wouldl ike to see the exhibition with me, please contact me, and I will see if I can make it work.

Arnold "Arnie" Zann, started his career in his early 20s photographing for the Chicago American, a large afternoon daily, covering civil rights, politics, and other social issues of the day. Soon thereafter while still a staffer on the daily, he started working for LIFE and Time and was soon published in almost every major magazine in the world, including National Geographic, Paris Match, GEO, Fortune, New York Times Sunday Magazine, and others. This retrospective will take you from A to Z and will even include some surprises. For more information, including location, click on the link above.

Tobacco Sheds & Barns 4 photo shoots | Apr. 15-17, 2024

People have been asking me for a local workshop, to wit this late addition to the BCPA calendar. This part of North Carolina was heavily farmed for tobacco, and in Colonial times, that crop often served as currency. The workshop will be based at my house, but this is three-day workshop is timed to avoid higher hotel rates. You will have a chance to explore some of these old buildings, and even do some black-and-white photography not only of the structures but various details. There is much to explore and inspire your artistic eye.

Many Faces of Charleston 8 photo shoots | Apr. 28 - May 2, 2024

Charleston has many faces. Not only is she a southern belle, complete with handsome architecture, famous charm, beautiful tree-shaded streets and squares, wonderful wrought iron, old cemeteries, and an interesting waterfront, but nearby, there are historic plantations, the ocean, and estuaries dotting the landscape. And do not forget the wonderful, magnificent swamps with their graceful cypress trees, knees rising out of the water, and reflections amongst spring flowers. There is much to explore and inspire your artistic eye.

Blue Ridge Mountain Magic 8 photo shoots | May 19-23, 2024
Sold out—Fill out application for wait list

The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, particularly on either side of the Parkway of the same name, have always held magic for many people. With beautiful state parks, rising mountain mists, old log buildings, great barns, woodland roads, etc., not to mention the flowers, from the white Trillium to the other spring offerings, there is much to tempt the photographic palette. We will all go to great locations where you can seek your own vision and make wonderful photographs...

Online Photo Workshops 3 assigned photo shoots | Jun., TBA, 2024, Sun., Tue., Thu., Sat. |

What began back in 2020 as a way to keep on feeding that photo mojo and inspiring those creative juices during the pandemic has turned into a great way to keep motivated and inspired without having to leave home. We all get so used to traveling to photograph that we forget there is much fodder at home – so while BCPA has returned to location workshops, online workshops will still be part of the calendar, probably one a quarter, so please stay tuned. Meanwhile, it has been great having a ton of fun with the online participants, challenging them to see in different ways, working with concepts, and studying and drawing inspiration from the work of ground-breaking painters and photographers, both current and historic!

Annual BCPA Alumni Potluck Reunion | Jul. 20, 2024 (normal Saturday with festivities on either side)

The BCPA Alumni Reunion has turned into a very popular event. Starting with just locals, people from other states felt left out and joined in ... California and Texas. Since then, BCPA has added Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to the roster. Open to all BCPA alumni and a guest of their choosing. Save-the-date reminders are sent out, and the official invitation comes sometime in the spring. In past years, a number of people come in Friday for dinner at a local restaurant and leave Sunday after a tasty brunch. With COVID-19, only people who have been fully vaccinated AND fill out the COVID-19 Reunion Declaration can be accepted!

Monhegan Island, Artists' Paradise 8 photo shoots | Aug. 12-16, 2024

The BCPA workshop on Monhegan Island has turned into a favorite, and no wonder. Monhegan, from Monchiggon, Algonquian for "out-to-sea island" and about ten miles off the rocky Maine coast, has been a haunt and artist's paradise since the late 1850s. Barely one square mile in mass, it is laced with some 12 miles of trails that lead you through fragrant forests, along cliff edges, by artists' cottages and charming fish houses, even a weathered lighthouse. Above the rading seas on the Atlantic side, one can find treasures such as a "Serpent's Coil." Margo looks forward to introducing you to this special place ...

Summertime on the Maine Coast 8 photo shoots | Aug. 18-22, 2024

Maine is known for its dramatic rocky coast, raging surf, stark lighthouses, and charming fishing harbors. We'll photograph in areas where Winslow Homer, Andy Wyeth, and other artists have painted for centuries. And we'll head to a favorite fish shack for the famous Maine lobster and other fresh seafood (and yes there are also non-seafood selections). The Barefoot Contessa grew up sailing this area, and she looks forward to introducing you to their special haunts ...

NB This workshop is a perennial favorite and often sells out.

Dakota Badlands 8 photo shoots | Aug. 31-Sep. 4, 2024 | 2 spots left

I have always been fascinated by the stark, yet sometimes lush, landscape of the badlands in the Dakotas. Pair that with the geology and varied colors, and there is much to tempt the photographer's eye. This was the land of the Sioux until the white man stole their lands and broke treaties. Before that, Native Americans had roamed and hunted on this land for 11,000 years, enjoying the largest undisturbed mixed grass prairie in the United States.

Palouse, Echoes of Tuscany 8 photo shoots | Sep. 8-12, 2024
Sold out—Fill out application for wait list

It has been a few years since BCPA was last in the Palouse. It is magnificent in the fall with the burnt umbers, raw siennas, and chocolate browns criss-crossing the undulating landscape. Arnie and I had gotten to know several farmers with whom I have kept in touch and gained permission to photograph on their lands, giving us access to views not accessible to all. I look forward to seeing them again in 2024. And our hotel has given us the same weekday rates as BCPA had in 2019!

Lake Garda & the Dolomites 14 photo shoots | Oct. 10-17, 2024
Sold out—Fill out application for wait list

Beautiful Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy and is bordered by the famed Dolomites, those amazing and impressive craggy peaks that attract extreme sports. It is also a haven for photographers, from the curved shoreline to the autumnal mountain meadows. Mattia Zaldini, whom many of you know, will be my guest instructor. He lives nearby in Verona and grew up in these parts. I have already been to some very special locations with him, and together, we will show you many places to tempt your creative juices. We are taking a day during the workshop to move between our two locations, thus giving us a full seven days for photographing.

Paris, City of Light 8 photo shoots | Oct. 22-26, 2024

Paris, also known as The City of Light, is without a doubt my favorite city. TBC's English Granny and dad lived there. Margo first spent time there in the early 60s, and Arnie followed a few years later. The workshop is based on the Left Bank/Rive Gauche near Jardin du Luxembourg. The Seine is a short walk down the hill, and The Louvre and Notre Dame are a few steps more. Cafés abound, and we get to watch and photograph the people and sites of this grand city. Margo, by the way, speaks pretty fluent French. Here, you'll get to seek your own vision while having a ton of fun ...

Autumn on the Outer Banks 8 photo shoots | Nov. 3-7, 2024 | Often Sold Out

Join me back on the Outer Banks, one of the locations that had spoken to both Arnie and me for years. It is fitting that my first workshops post Arnie is in this place we both loved (and I still do) so well. There is the wild weather and sea at times, warm sunshine at others, and a plethora of wonderful locations to enable you to seek your own vision and create stunning image .in the company of fellow photographers seeking to be pushed to their next levels.

New Orleans, The BIG Easy 8 photo shoots | Jan. 31-Feb. 4, 2025 | Often Sold Out

Join me in New Orleans, The City of New Orleans, NOLA, The Big Easy ... call it what you will (although the natives will never call it NOLA), this is an amazing city with incredible music and photo ops. We will return to BCPA's favorite haunts and introduce you to several sides of this wonderful place. Here, you will have no problem seeking your own vision, whether wandering the historic streets or sitting in a bar, eating oysters, and listening to the beat of blues, zydeco, jazz, etc... In fact, the reason the workshop starts on a Friday is to enjoy the music over the weekend.

Magic of Morocco | Oct. TBA, 2025

Because of the earthquake, we are postponing Morocco until 2025 to give the country a chance to recover from the devastating losses. Morocco has long held a fascination for travelers. Known as a gateway to Africa, is has an amazing diversity, from stunning mountain ranges to ancient cities, vast deserts, and lovely, warm people. It is also host to a number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, some of which we will explore. This workshop will include hotels and transportation from the time you arrive in the airport in Casablanca to the time you leave from Marrakech a bit over two weeks later. All breakfasts and some meals are included, as well as principle hotel, baggage, and driver tips. Thank-you tips for photographs are not included, nor are personal expenses.

Private Mentoring | by arrangement

For those who take their photography very seriously, are committed to getting to the next level, and want to work on a project, perhaps with a view to having an exhibition, BCPA offers private mentoring, done in three-month segments, meeting two-to-three times a month ...

This starts with an interview to determine strengths and weaknesses, time commitment, scheduling, concerns, and the project itself ...

Private Consulting | by appointment

Many people come to us, because their Lightroom catalog is a mess — yes, really — and they need help straightening everything out so that they can find their images again. Perhaps they want to move everything (not the program, of course) over to an external hard drive with appropriate backups. Or, they need help in structuring a file system that works for their way of thinking. Then again, they may be starting out in business and need some pointers from a long-time pro with special insights ...

Private Lightroom Workshops | by appointment

Lightroom is an extraordinary powerful program, and for some, they want the individual attention that only a private workshop allows. In these workshops, there is private set-up and discussion of a workflow that makes sense for the individual, as well as hands-on demonstrations. These workshops are tailored to the individual or small-group needs, and the participants come away with the knowledge that helps them continue to grow in the editing/developing aspect of their photography. BCPA has also done many Zoom sessions ...

Learning Lightroom Classic | TBA, usually before a location workshop - limited to 5 partiipants

Lightroom has undergone many iterations since it first came into being back in 2007, and Margo has been using and teaching it ever since. This workshop will be held in three parts, the first working with digital asset management and basic Lightroom organization and functions, going on to techniques for developing your images in the second, and finally working on more sophisticated techniques in the third. Each session lasts 3-1/2 hours with a break to stretch your legs. I firmly believe that people need a break between the sessions to absorb what they have learned before going on to the next. This workshop is limited to 5 participants in order to give plenty of personal and group hands-on instruction.

Scout & Shoot with Arnie and Margo | by appointment

Many people have enjoyed coming along with Margo and Arnie while they do final scouting the day before a workshop begins. This is also the time that the instructors get to photograph for themselves. There is only room for two participants that are coming to that particular workshop, and they ride in the car with Margo. Those who choose this option get to watch the instructor in action, hear her thinking and philosophy about photography, get some one-on-one help and tips, and generally get to know her better and have a great time that day ...
