Margo Pinkerton, Arnie Zann, and John Pagliuca,
are all working professional photographers who enjoy sharing their expertise
of how to create great images and process them through a logical work flow. They
make learning fun in visually-rich locations here and abroad while they guide
you toward becoming a better photographer.
Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures has been around
since the early 80s, and with our instructors' 75+ years combined experience
teaching, you will learn a lot! We provide lots of individual instruction each
day with our small, 6/1 ratio. While we may photograph with you, our first commitment
is always to give our participants the most rewarding photographic and learning
experience possible.
In fact, one of our alumni
recently won a first with an accompanying cash prize in a large,
statewide travel photo contest with the image to the left that
he created at our 2007 Lighthouses workshop ! He has already
signed up for another of our photo adventures this spring! In
addition to learning a lot in our workshop, he had a great time!
(Read his
comments; and for more comments, see the Client Comments
in the menu at the left.)
Another alumnus just wrote
us that not only were his two submissions (created in our 2007
New England workshop) accepted into a show juried by famous
architectural photographer, Balthazar
Korab, but that the one to the right won the first
place prize in the color category!
And Travel
+ Leisure Online listed our 2007 New England photo adventure
in an article called "Photography 101: Photo
Expeditions and Tours"!
In our print element, our instructors will
show you the ins and outs of successfully and easily turning your favorite digital
images into stunning archival prints using a high-quality Epson printer. In fact,
you will get plenty of instruction and input on digital work flow, tweaking your
images, and after a test print, making a lovely 10"x15" print of one
of your workshop photographs to take home with you.
Our philosophy is to have a great
time while teaching you, as our tag line says, to "Create
great photos; make great prints!"
For
any questions, check out our FAQs, and if those do not help, do not hesitate
to contact Barefoot
Contessa Photo Adventures. As we noted above, our instructors have
many decades of experience as both active pro shooters and teachers, and we love
to have fun with our students!
