Astrophotography Weekend Workshop

Not many people wake up at 2:30 in the morning and are excited to get up. Add to that, 38º weather, and most people would shudder at the idea of crawling out of bed and stepping foot outside. Well, last month that's exactly what some of our brave students did when they participated in our first ever Astrophotography Weekend Workshop at Pemaquid Point Light in Bristol, Maine. The video below will give you a good introduction to how the weekend unfolded.


Over the course of two nights with the guidance of our two instructors, students had the chance to learn, explore, and create. With no past experience in astrophotography, our students ended up capturing these incredible images with their own digital cameras - the Boston Photography Workshops is blown away at the breathtaking images our students created and could not be prouder. This past March's "Weekend Workshop" is the first of many and we look forward to the next one taking place in July 2017. Sign up for our newsletter below to be notified when enrollment is open!

From Snapshots to Something More: A Beginner’s Guide to Creative Photography

From Snapshots to Something More: A Beginner’s Guide to Creative Photography
April 7, 2026

At some point, most photographers run into the same feeling. You’re out with your camera, taking photos… but nothing really sticks. You get home, scroll through them, and think:

“These are fine… but why don’t they feel like anything?” That’s usually the moment where things start to shift.

You stop just taking photos of what’s in front of you—and start wondering how to make something out of it. If you’ve been curious about creative photography or how to tell more of a story with your images, this is a good place to start.

The good news is, you don’t need better gear or more technical knowledge. Most of the time, it comes down to how you approach what you’re photographing.

Here are a few simple ways to begin:

Gear We Love: Cameras 2026
December 17, 2025

It’s that time of year again when many photographers—new and experienced—start thinking about upgrading their camera gear. At the Boston Photography Workshops, we spend the entire year teaching with, testing, and talking about cameras, so when we publish this list, it’s grounded in real-world use, not just spec sheets.

One big change this year: prices. Between inflation, supply chain hiccups, and ongoing tariffs, camera prices have crept up across the board—and yes, that’s a bummer. Because of that, this year we’re recommending a mix of cameras you can buy new and cameras we strongly suggest looking for on the used market.

As always, our goal isn’t to tell you what’s “trendy,” but what will actually help you learn, grow, and enjoy photography.

At the beginning of 2025, our students at BPW had the exciting opportunity to explore Death Valley National Park and photograph the stunning views of Mesquite Dunes and Zabriskie Point. With a fun, close-knit group of students and excellent instructors guiding us, we had a fantastic time capturing images of Badwater Basin (the salt flats), Dante's View, Artist's Palette, and the Rhyolite ghost town.
