Maine Workshop

The Workshop —

Led by Mike Kamber and Victor J. Blue, this workshop is a week-long course in documentary photography, taking place in mid-coast Maine.

Students will be matched up with local artisans, activists, and community groups, then tasked with shooting a photo essay over the course of the week. Each evening, there will be group dinner, instruction, and a session for review and feedback, led by Victor and Mike. There will be time built in for visits to the nearby islands, beaches, and national parks.
