Our Philosophy
We highly value your time and energy, and our primary goal is to ensure that every participant enjoys an exceptional experience during our workshops. Our team of professional photographers is dedicated to assisting you in capturing outstanding, imaginative, and unforgettable images. We offer individual guidance on camera settings and composition. Our objective is to ensure that everyone not only has a great time but also gains valuable insights into the art of photography.
Unlike some other workshops, our travel workshops are meticulously designed to maximize your shooting opportunities in the field. These experiences often begin before sunrise and extend well past sunset. On clear nights, we might even delve into astrophotography. In contrast to workshops held by others that limit shooting to just a few hours of sunrise and sunset, we keep you engaged and productive throughout the day. We firmly believe that the harsher daylight hours present an ideal chance to explore new locations, learn the art of scouting potential shooting spots, plan breathtaking nighttime photography, and learn from our skilled instructors about how to truly "see" through your camera lens. While you may not have much downtime during our workshops, you'll undoubtedly be exposed to numerous photographic opportunities and leave with a wealth of fresh ideas. We understand some would like to take a longer break during the day and may opt out of joining us on our afternoon scouting trips.
We teach full-time year-round photography classes, and we are passionate about imparting our knowledge to help our students progress and attain their photographic goals. Our travel workshops are limited to 8 photographers per instructor.
What participants are saying about our workshops:
“I feel extremely lucky to have found The Photography Workshop. Mark, Warren, and Tony are all extremely talented photographers with a passion for sharing their knowledge. I’ve learned so much over the last 3 years, and had a ton of fun while doing so. I was a complete novice when I took boot camp 1 (didn’t even own a camera), quickly became hooked on photography, and attended MANY classes/workshops (bootcamps, lightroom, HDR, landscape, macro, light painting, fire spinning, and many more), and can happily recommend each and every one of them.
I recently had my 1st travel adventure, to Acadia, Maine. The views were spectacular. The instructors scouted the locations, provided recommendations on equipment/settings, plus new tips/tricks, and helped everyone with their personal struggles. My fellow photographers were great too. So much fun!”
Coastal Classics: Capturing the Timeless Beauty of Cape Cod
Join us for an immersive three-day photography workshop on Cape Cod, where we will explore and capture the timeless beauty of New England’s coast. This hands-on experience is designed for photographers of all levels and focuses on coastal landscapes, seascapes, historic fishing villages, picturesque harbors, and charming small towns. From sweeping ocean views and rolling dunes to working docks and classic Cape Cod architecture, each location offers rich visual storytelling opportunities.
Our days will be intentionally structured around the best natural light, beginning with peaceful sunrise shoots along the Atlantic shoreline and concluding with glowing sunsets over harbors and bays. Participants will photograph iconic lighthouses, weathered boats, tidal flats, and marshes while learning how to use light, composition, leading lines, and long exposures to create compelling images. Between shoots, there will be guided instruction, demonstrations, and time for individual coaching in the field.
Cape Cod’s fishing villages and small coastal towns provide a unique blend of authentic maritime character and quiet beauty. We will explore harbors filled with working fishing boats, scenic boardwalks, and classic seaside streets, focusing on capturing mood, texture, and a strong sense of place. Image reviews and group discussions will help participants refine their vision and strengthen their storytelling skills.
Weather permitting, we will also venture into astrophotography, photographing star-filled skies over the coastline and lighthouses after dark. This optional evening session will introduce techniques for night sky and low-light coastal photography, adding a creative and memorable dimension to the workshop. By the end of the three days, participants will leave with a diverse portfolio of Cape Cod images and a deeper understanding of how to photograph coastal environments with confidence and intention.
