I will be leading a Composition & Photography field workshop in  beautiful and scenic mid-coast Maine from Monday August 17 – Friday August 21, 2026 at Maine Media Workshops (one of the oldest and best photography workshop organizations). See the description of my workshop below, or click here for more information and registration.

Workshop description: To resolve these two semi-paradoxes, in this hands-on workshop, we will approach composition as an instance of open-ended two-dimensional design. Photographic exercises will start with simple shapes, such as lines and circles, and proceed through patterns and repetitions, and onwards to spirals, fractals, and abstractions. Field sessions will take advantage of the “target-rich” mid-coast Maine scenery. Classroom discussions will be intended to provoke thought about composition basics and continue to enable individual integration of the process of composition into each participant’s creative practice. Space is limited in this small, in-person workshop.

Opportunities: Great Gardens of Japan Photography Tour (November 2026); Composition & Photography (Maine, August 2026); Base Camp Library Event (through June 14, 2026, click here for discount code info).
