Hog Island 91°µÍø Camp is an ideal setting for exploring the photography of birds and nature. This camp brings together people of all photography skill levels who are enthusiastic about learning more about bird and nature photography. This experience invites you to learn, explore, and grow creative photography skills in a fun and supportive atmosphere. This session will challenge beginners and seasoned photographers alike to consider their photos as a method for storytelling, and assemble a portfolio of work by the end of the week that is representative of the experience.
Your days will be spent on photography field trips around coastal Maine and in engaging skills-based workshops. This program is timed during spring migration in coastal Maine. You will venture to a variety of habitats on the coast to capture the birds passing through. Campers will explore the island’s spruce forest, tide pools, and striking dawns and sunsets. One highlight of the week is an excursion to Eastern Egg Rock to photograph Atlantic Puffins and terns returning to their nesting grounds.
