Fall Workshop: Cape Cod
3 Reasons to Join Us on the Cape
From September 17-20, my friend Ben Williamson and I will once again be leading our Chasing Cape Cod Landscape Photography Workshop. We launched this workshop for the first time last year and had an absolute blast. Our group of participants was enthusiastic and engaged, the weather treated us kindly with beautiful light and dramatic skies, and we had the full sweep of the outer Cape, its dunes, beaches, marshes, and lighthouses, to explore, experience, and photograph.
Building on last year’s success, we couldn’t wait to design our 2026 workshop and make it even better. You can find all the details and register using the button below, but before you do, I’d like to share three reasons why I think you should seriously consider joining us for this year’s Chasing Cape Cod Workshop.
September is the best time to visit the outer Cape.
For those unfamiliar, the Outer Cape is the long, curving “arm” of Cape Cod that stretches from roughly Orleans and Eastham all the way out through Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown. It’s wilder, quieter, and more dramatic than the more developed parts of the Cape, and it’s where the land really feels like it’s reaching into the Atlantic. It’s full of windswept dunes, miles of beaches, tidal flats, iconic lighthouses and quaint New England towns. Much of the ocean side of the outer cape is part of the protected Cape Cod National Seashore, while the western side is noted for tidal flats that stretch forever. While we will sneak onto the lower cape to visit Chatham and Brewster, our main exploration will take place in the more wild and remote outer cape.
And… in September, the crowds are gone leaving the outer Cape to us to explore, photograph, and enjoy.Cape Cod, especially the Outer Cape, is one of the rare places in the United States where truly epic sunrises and sunsets are separated by only a handful of miles. In the span of a single day, you can watch the first light of morning spill over the Atlantic from the sweeping beaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore, then wrap up with the sun sinking into the horizon over the broad tidal flats and salt marshes of the bay side. That combination of glowing dawn light on breaking waves and warm evening color reflecting off shallow pools and rippled sand creates a remarkable range of opportunities for crafting portfolio-worthy landscape images.
Add to that the working harbors filled with fishing boats and sailboats, winding streets lined with weathered shingled cottages, iconic lighthouses perched on dunes and bluffs, and all the traditional Cape Cod charm, and you have an endlessly varied, visually rich environment. Wherever you turn, there’s another scene waiting to be photographed.

Ben and I make a really good team, respectfully. Ben’s work speaks for itself and his experience leading workshops throughout New England and beyond is unrivaled, and while I don’t have the photographic experience that Ben has, my 30 years in education help me teach you. Between the two of us, I think you will find that we bring a wide variety of experience, techniques, and character to our workshops.
You can learn more about both Ben and I, and learn more about our Chasing Cape Cod Landscape Photography Workshop below.
I do hope you consider attending our Workshop. The location itself is just magical and Ben and I work really hard to ensure that your experience is as well.
