The Unseen Landscape

Explore the less traveled roads of Maine’s coastline and create exceptional imagery

Henry Horenstein A world of ocean views, lighthouses, crashing waves and lobster buoys accurately define aspects of Maine’s culture and identity, this workshop is for students looking to push their creative boundaries and document the unseen. In this workshop students learn to transcend the stereotypical and explore the nature of a place on a new level.

Traveling in small groups, participants embark on field trips along Route 1, Maine’s coastal highway, as well as small islands in the area. Henry accompanies participants on daily excursions, working with students to reveal the essence of a place through frame, light, metaphors and lyricism.

Participants learn to use metaphors and symbolism within the frame to reveal their personal responses to the environments. Exploring the beautiful as well as the seemingly mundane to the untrained eye, participants reveal the well-hidden cultural and historical landscape of Maine and its inhabitants.
