Moose workshop for the ladies


Ladies, get your imagination clicking – combine a relaxing Maine vacation with a creative learning experience! Come photograph and learn new photography skills while you enjoy the beauty and wildlife of Maine's North Woods!

Join Anita Mueller and Mary Dysart-Hart for an all-inclusive, four day, photo workshop vacation in and around the Mt. Katahdin - Baxter State Park Region of Maine that promises to be both educational and relaxing!

Photograph northern Maine's abundant wildlife and spectacular landscapes while being guided by two of Maine’s most experienced women nature photographers. During the day, you will  photograph in remote wildlife habitats and at the most picturesque locations in the Katahdin Region via kayak, (instruction provided, flat water only) and pontoon boat, as well by van - on dry land. In the evenings you will relax while dining at the acclaimed River Driver Restaurant and lodging in a luxury cabin at New England Outdoor Center's Twin Pine Camps on Millinocket Lake in the shadow of Mt. Katahdin.

All skill levels welcome! Our blend of casual format and hands on learning will provide a relaxed and informative workshop experience regardless of your skill level. We will share all the techniques and tricks we have learned photographing nature in Maine’s North Woods. From getting the most
out of your DSLR to marketing and publishing you will learn more than you thought possible in four short days.

Can't decide which photo workshop to participate in? Maybe we can help.

Mid June in the Katahdin Region provides opportunities to photograph a world coming to life after a long winter. Picturesque indigenous wildflowers, rushing waterways, boreal birds as well as other flora and fauna, including Moose and their newborn calves provide abundant inspiration and opportunities to learn new photography skills. www.markpicard.com

The September workshop coincides with the Fall Moose Rut and spectacular Fall Foliage that the region is noted for. Landscape photography opportunities in the Katahdin Region are magnificent and truly inspiring this time of year. This is the best time to capture the often elusive Moose in courtship and mating behavior with a backdrop of autumn color that illuminates the region each fall. www.markpicard.com

For either photo workshop, our days will begin at first light, and other than a mid day break to relax, will end at last light each day. There are no long hikes involved, with most of our photography occurring near the vans or on the water.  www.markpicard.com
