The Experience
Experience the rugged coastlines, iconic lighthouses, quiet harbors, waterfalls, mountain landscapes, and early autumn beauty of New England during this immersive photography workshop through Maine and New Hampshire.
Designed for a small group of photographers, this workshop combines dramatic coastal scenery with intimate forest landscapes, waterfalls, reflective lakes, and charming New England villages. Beginning and ending in Boston, Massachusetts, participants will travel through some of the Northeast’s most photogenic regions while developing both technical and creative photography skills in the field.
As a scouting workshop, this will be intentionally focused on the optimal photographic opportunities during sunrise and sunset. We will determine what the ideal future workshop will be for learning, creative discussion, and enjoying the experience of traveling through New England during the transition into autumn.
