Aug 21-27, 2011: This workshop, held at Maine Media Workshops, is designed for photographers with a strong interest in environmental issues and a desire to develop stories that reveal the human connection to nature and the planet’s natural resources. Students work directly with communications staff at either The Nature Conservancy, Maine Coast Heritage Trust or Coastal Mountains Land Trust to develop their story and photograph it during the week, amidst the spectacular setting of the Maine Midcoast region.

Students will create a body of work that sharpens their photographic skills within the context of an environmental story and learn about the all aspects of the process, from finding the right story and matching it with an organization to developing a relationship and pitching an idea to the organization.

Co-taught by environmental documentarian, Bridget Besaw, and The Nature Conservancy Magazine Picture Editor, Melissa Ryan.
