Join our photography workshop in "Down East" Maine, an area 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 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.

We will be based in a romantic inn (complete with a spa for your spouse or SO) 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.

Margo and her husband/partner and fellow pro instructor, Arnie, will show you their 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.
