Photography Workshops

Our workshops focus on teaching creative photographic techniques the in the presence of Cape Cod’s pristine and ever-changing waters. Our time is spent wandering Brewster’s remarkable tidal flats, exploring idyllic beaches on the outer Cape, learning specialized Lightroom and Photoshop techniques, and in collective discussion and sharing of imagery in our meeting space at EXPRESSIONS Gallery in Chatham. We do not photograph for ourselves during our programs, and instead dedicate our full attention toward teaching and supporting participants.

Please enjoy this video sharing images created by participants in one of our recent workshops.

Photography Workshops

During these unique workshops, we’ll experience the same pristine beach through two distinct moments of magic: the gentle transition into evening twilight followed by the awakening light of dawn – witnessing how one location can offer completely different stories just hours apart.

“The Sunday Sunrise retreat was an amazing experience. This was so much more than a straight “here’s how” class – it was more about “here’s why” and “what about this?” Highly recommended.”

— Jesse Barnett

“I was thrilled to achieve my goal of creating the type of image that I had wanted to create for several years. In addition, the organization of the program was outstanding, with a pre-workshop Zoom, with helpful emails that arrived in my Inbox on a regular basis, and, perhaps most of all, with the responsiveness by Steve and Kristen to every question.”
