We want nothing more than for you to show up as yourself in your photography and in your life. We are excited to see what YOU bring to the table, and we’re standing by, ready to help you when you show up for your dreams.
Why we chose Portland, Maine
As the cool, crisp fall air settles in, we're headed to Maine to explore the stunning natural landscapes that make this region a photographer's dream. We'll take full advantage of the natural beauty of the rugged coastlines and the ever-changing hues of foliage that autumn brings.
Prepare to be awestruck by the majestic rocky cliffs, hidden coves, serene beaches, and a gorgeous lighthouse or two! Each click of the shutter will immortalize the fleeting beauty of nature's transformation.
As picturesque as it could be, downtown Portland oozes with urban charm that seamlessly merges with coastal character. Picture yourself strolling along cobblestone streets, flanked by historic buildings and charming storefronts, all while being treated to breathtaking waterfront views.
Through your lens, you'll not only capture stunning photographs but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for the artistry that brings the natural world to life. The tranquility and beauty of the seascapes surrounding Portland are unparalleled.
You'll return home with a collection of breathtaking photographs that showcase the magic of Maine during the autumn season. More importantly, you'll carry a renewed sense of wonder and a more profound love for landscape photography. Join us in Maine and let your creativity flourish amidst the beauty that awaits you.

We typically arrange a block of rooms for our domestic workshops so we can all stay at the same hotel. Often we choose to forego a room block for international workshops because we want you to be able to choose the experience that resonates with you based on your preferences and budget. In workshops with no room block, we will let you know where we will be staying and critiquing so you can select the same hotel or one nearby.
-
Our daily schedule is designed to maximize great light and photographic opportunities. We usually begin with a morning photo session on location, followed by a break for you to have a meal or work on your images. After that, we'll have a critique session, followed by an evening shoot. You'll have time to enjoy a leisurely dinner before getting some rest for the day ahead. Our schedule strikes a balance between keeping you busy and allowing enough downtime to rest your creative muscles.

Tuition covers six days of amazing hand-selected locations (for the utmost in photogenic beauty, of course) and daily critiques. It covers belly laughs, new friendships, top-notch instruction, and help one-on-one with Tony while photographing. And in Italy, one round of gelato.
-
During our workshop, most of your time will be dedicated to on-location photography, critiques, and editing. There won't be much downtime for leisurely activities or relaxation with your partner as you would on a typical vacation.
If your partner is the independent and easygoing type who can entertain themselves throughout the day, purchasing an extra plane ticket for them might be a good idea. They can explore the local area or engage in their own activities while you focus on the workshop.

So we strongly recommend getting travel insurance; it's always better to be safe than sorry. Check out our Terms of Service link below for details and recommendations.

PB is for photographers who want to take amazing photographs, and we take this very seriously. Time spent on students' computer issues undermines the workshop experience for other participants, and we're just not cool with that. Please ensure all of your technology is up to date and in excellent working order before attending.
-
A working laptop (with plenty of storage and a long-lasting battery and charger cable) with the LATEST version of Lightroom, your camera (in tip-top shape), and any lenses you love and that bring you joy, and some extra cards and batteries, and maybe some sunscreen (reef-safe of course!).
