Acadia National Park in Maine Photography Workshop

This is a paid workshop, please register and pay at https://lorenphotos.com/product/acadia-photo-workshop/.

The perfect location for a photography workshop is Acadia National Park in Maine. Acadia is a special place, the unique rocky shore, Cadillac Mountain, pristine ponds, old buggy trails and beauty everywhere you look. It is a favorite place for photographers and tourists, so we’ll go before the summer crowds arrive.

Join professional photographer Loren Fisher and explore the rocky coastlines, marsh grasses, harbors and the incredible town of Bar Harbor. You'll be transported during the workshop in Loren's 12-passenger Sprinter van or you can drive yourself.

We’ll start the photography workshop at 3 p.m. on Monday, June 3, and and finish after a morning shoot on Monday, June 7. The beauty of Acadia is sunrise (the top of Cadillac Mountain is the first place in the U.S. you can see the sunrise) so we will be getting out early to catch the best light of the day. The sun will rise around 5:00 a.m., so the days will be starting early. And since we also want to catch the beautiful light at the end of day (sunset is about 8:00 p.m.), we’ll take a long break around noon each day to catch our breath. We’ll be exhausted but exhilarated by the end of the week!

During the photo workshop, I’m putting a special focus on making sure you get the most out of your wide-angle lens. Most people don’t use their wide lens to get the most creative shots they can, the real purpose of a wide-angle is for much more than just getting more area into the shot. You’ll learn how it can add depth and emphasis to your photos that will make your images pop and you’ll get more “wow” from your viewers.

I’ll also be helping you determine what is the best angle for your shots, how some simple but seldom considered composition techniques will enhance your photos and how to get the most from each of the gorgeous scenes we will be visiting. I keep the group small, so we can work other areas where you think your photography needs improving. We’ll spend some time in the “classroom” but I’m a believer in learning by doing, so we’ll be out in the field as I work with you as you’re making pictures. As a follow-up to the workshop, you’ll be able to submit photos to me and I’ll give you tips to help with your future shooting.
