Summertime on the Maine Coast 2025 – 8 Photo Shoots

August in Maine, where the Atlantic meets the coast, is delightful. With sunny and foggy days, you’ll see the various moods of this craggy area that Margo loves to photograph. “Mid-coast” Maine is an area known for its dramatic rocky coast, pounding surf, wonderful lighthouses, and charming fishing harbors and coves dotted with lobster boats.

And we mustn’t forget the famous Maine fir trees, “Land of the pointed Firs,” that add wonderful elements to the coastline.

Margo will take you to areas where Winslow Homer, Andy Wyeth, and other artists have painted for centuries. As many of our alumni know, the Barefoot Contessa grew up sailing this area, so knows it well and looks forward to introducing you to her special haunts where 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.

With only 8 participants, you will get plenty of attention. Unless you are in bed or on the loo, Margo is with you, not to tell you what to photograph, rather to help you seek your own vision in a more compelling way. And let’s not forget the amazing daily critiques that many feel is the most important part of BCPA’s workshops. Everyone participants, and pros even learn from and get inspired by the work of beginners.

And you will be doing it right in the heart of an area that has produced many of Margo’s photographs that have been published in calendars, travel magazines, and coffee-table books. (Click here for instructor galleries.) After the workshop, plan on taking an extra few days to explore this area on your own, return to places we have taken you, and use your new-found knowledge to make more beautiful images.

We will be headquartered at an inn a short walk up the road from one of the famous Maine lighthouses. Bring along your spouse. significant other, or friend, always welcome at our workshops and who instantly become part of our group.

Margo Taussig Pinkerton and her late husband, Arnold “Arnie” Zann, were a team of working fine-art photographers whose images have been widely published in most major domestic and international magazines. They were also privileged to work for top Fortune 500 corporations. After 9/11, Margo and Arnie retired from editorial and commercial work and put thier efforts into the workshops that Margo started back in the earlyh\ 80s, ones that Arnie and she brought to their current level, and that Margo continues to run. Her passion for photography is infectious, and she loves sharing a lifetime of professional experiences with her participants.
