Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures

 “Seek your Own Vision, and Create Great Photos”

New England Fall Foliage Photo Workshop
October 6 to 10, 2013

 

Join Margo Taussig Pinkerton and Arnold Zann, both award-winning photographers who spent their careers as successful working pros, for their photography workshop  in the stunning, White Mountains area of northern New Hampshire very near to the  Maine border. People come from all over the world to see the incomparable foliage of northern New England. The riot of colors against the deep green  conifers, along with quaint New England villages, farms, and covered bridges,  make great subject matter. We’ll take in little-known locations that are  favorites of The Barefoot Contessa, a native of this state.

Because  of Margo’s long-time, intimate knowledge of northern New England, we’ll have some great locations all to ourselves, and 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’ll be based near Conway close to the scenic Kancamagus (KAN-kah-MAY-gus — many people mispronounce it and add a “g”) Highway.

You’ll discover covered bridges, a staple of this part of the country. Some are red,  some weathered barn board, and all carry their own characteristics.
