Golden Hour: Photo Walks
As one of the oldest municipalities in the United States, Boston and its neighborhoods offer an array of memorable photography opportunities. Grab your camera and hit the streets with BPW for beautiful golden hour photo walks along Boston’s Esplanade and Castle Island.
Night Photography
Ever wanted to capture the amazing look of a scene during the evening light, or maybe you’re tired of getting dark, underexposed photos? Photography at night can be a tricky subject to learn on your own, so learn with a professional!
Day Trips
The BPW community loves to explore, so we’ve created one-day outings to help you improve your photo skills in fun and accessible locations just outside the Boston area. Pack your camera bag and get ready for an enjoyable, easy, and nearby photo experience with the BPW team!
ICM Photography
ICM (Intentional camera movement) is a creative and experimental approach to capturing images. Unlike traditional photography, where the goal is often to achieve sharpness and clarity, ICM embraces blur and abstraction to convey mood, emotion, and movement.
One Night Astrophotography
Join us for a night of photographing the stars. With our experienced instructors at your side, you'll explore New England's coast and photograph the dark skies around iconic locations in Maine, Coastal Massachusetts and Rhode island.
