Maine is where we will be for 7 days! 5 Day of breathtaking photography led by Stephen Weiss and a Local Pro Kirk Williamson...
Kirk Williamson has lived his entire life on Cape Ann and knows all the special places to get those amazing images. Mr. Williamson is a multiple award-winning professional photographer with 40 years of experience as a photojournalist and photo editor. He has been published all over the world in many prestigious publications. Including: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, The New York Times Magazine, US Magazine, Yankee Magazine, Sail Magazine, Ski Magazine, Skiing Magazine.
As you can see Kirk is a native and will be leading us on an incredible adventure! Not only will you be photographing the area… you also will be eating at the local fares. We have lots of meals planned in the usual local haunts! Lobster and lots more will be on the menu! And for those less adventurous…burgers and such is available!
Most mornings will start with a sunrise at the break of dawn… and then either return to the hotel for a quick breakfast – or we will bring it with us!
We will photograph until late morning and then have a relaxed lunch. Followed by either a few hours down time or keep on going depending on the group.
The afternoon will be continued with the golden hour and a sunset. Dinner will be before or after the sunset. Just depends on the group!
Some of the locations will require some walking to get to. All the hikes are under a ¼ of a mile, but you must be able to hike comfortably on uneven ground.
This trip is limited to only 16 photographers as we have 2 – 12 passenger Vans rented. This will give everyone space for equipment. There will be no more than 6 photographer/students per instructor meaning if we fill up there will be at least 3 instructors! This will be a great trip for intermediate photographers…but we welcome beginners too. Each participant will be given at least one FREE class to make sure you are ready for this adventure – more if necessary!!!
We will send you a recommended equipment list as you sign up!
DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS ADVENTURE…WE RECOMMEND YOU SIGN UP AND PAY IN FULL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. We already have 4 participants lined up for this! There is no deposit available…you must pay in full.
You may cancel no later than May 7th. However, canceling after you book... will result in a $600 forfeiture due to our non-refundable cost NO EXCEPTIONS!
Due to today’s environment, we highly recommend trip insurance!
If for any reason, we cancel the trip – you will receive a full refund (what you paid) from our company – excluding your airfare!
We are going at the beginning of the Peak season, and you must book soon. Booking after May. 7th may have an increase in their cost!
We will guide you to amazing places to photograph!
