August in Maine, where the Atlantic meets the coast, is delightful. With sunny and foggy days, you'll see the various moods of this craggy area that Margo and Arnie love to photograph. "Down East" Maine is an area known for its dramatic rocky coast, pounding surf, wonderful lighthouses, and charming fishing harbors and coves dotted with lobster boats. And we mustn't forget the famous Maine fir trees that add wonderful elements to the coastline.

Margo and Arnie will take you to areas where Winslow Homer, Andy Wyeth, and other artists have painted for centuries.

We will be headquarted at an inn right on New Harbor within walking distance of our favorite fish shack. Bring along your spouse. significant other, or friend, always welcome at our workshops and who instantly become part of our group.

As noted in the spring Maine workshops, the Barefoot Contessa grew up sailing this area, so knows it well and looks forward to introducing you to her special haunts 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.

New Harbor is in the heart of an area that has produced many of Margo's photographs that have been published in calendars, travel magazines, and coffee-table books. After the workshop, plan on taking an extra few days to explore this area on your own, return to places we have taken you, and use your new-found knowledge to make more beautiful photographs.

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, there is lots of one-to-one instruciton while Arnie and Margo do their own photography and final scouting for the workshop.

Some of our participants like to come in a day ahead and get some added instruction on Lightroom.
