GREENLAND WORkSHOP

Teaching my first photo workshop onboard S/Y Arctic Earth, a 56 ft. aluminum-hulled arctic cruising boat designed by Ed Joy Design and Lyman-Morse, was a voyage beyond my wildest dreams. Magnus Day and Julia Princelaar, the captain and first mate, were a key component to the success of the workshop, as they guided us with ease through the epic landscape Of Greenland’s northeast coast.

Many photographers have told me that once you experience the massive landscape of the Arctic, you get hooked for more. I completely understand what they mean and consider myself fortunate to have been able to lead a photography workshop onboard S/Y ARCTIC EARTH this past year.

As most cruising sailors know, a key component to the success of a voyage relies on the people on board. Magnus Day and Julia Princelaar navigated ARCTIC EARTH attentively through the iceberg filled bays and fjords of Greenland’s northwest coast, bringing us to a new anchorage every day, while sharing their vast knowledge of Greenland and the Arctic. With almost 24 hours of sunlight, our four guests/workshop attendees immersed themselves in capturing the intense beauty of the glacial rivers and lakes, deserted whaling villages from the 1800s, icebergs, whales, and this tundra's incredible fauna and animals. My friend and colleague, journalist Polly Saltonstall, who joined the workshop, wrote an exceptional piece about our week onboard for Maine Boats Homes & Harbors which I highly recommend reading.

Over the past few years, I have been hired to create increasingly more video content for my clients. I enjoy both forms of storytelling, stills and motion, as each has its attributes and challenges. However, much of the content I create is ‘private’ and cannot be shared with the public. Fortunately, these ‘teaser’ videos I produced for WoodenBoat’s Legend series can be shared. You can subscribe to Woodenboat Mastering Skills to view the full-length videos of each or click on the links below to watch the teasers. The full-length video of GRAYLING has also been made available to the public by WoodenBoat on their YouTube channel.

GRAYLING video teaser

GRAYLING was built by Frank Rice of East Boothbay, Maine, for use by his brother George Rice in seining for herring and mackerel. She was restored and converted to a private yacht in 1996 by Doug Hylan.

BRILLIANT teaser video

The famous schooner BRILLIANT was designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by the Nevins Yard in 1930. Since 1953, Brilliant has operated as a sail-training vessel at the Mystic Seaport Museum.

East Passage 24 teaser video

The East Passage 24 was designed by Walter Ansel, and built by Carter Richardson and his team at East Passage Boatwrights.

I'm thrilled to announce that I will be teaching a photo workshop onboard Arctic Earth in Greenland this coming summer!

Iceberg, Disko Bay, Greenland

Arctic Earth is a 56 ft expedition cruising yacht designed by Ed Joy Design and Lyman-Morse. The vessel is captained by Magnus Day, whose experience in arctic cruising is renowned, and Julia Prinselaar as the first mate. As many of you know, my professional photographic career began with cruising to remote destinations. In returning to this type of voyaging, I'll be sharing my experience with a small crew of classmates, allowing for an intimate and thrilling experience combining sailing, nature, and maritime culture as we visually capture the unparalleled beauty of Greenland. 

Expedition yacht “Arctic Earth”

Photo Coastal: Disko to Sisimiut with Alison Langley. June 11 - June 18

Individual berths are available with an option for full vessel booking on a first-come, first-served basis.
Four expedition members will fly into Ilulissat to meet Alison Langley and the boat crew. Alison has photographed many of the world's most remote and unique locations by way of cruising yachts and is one of the world's premiere nautical photographers. She will share her expertise and creative guidance in this semi-private
workshop setting. We will explore the huge icebergs of Disko Bay and seek hideaway coves for hikes ashore. After
exploring Disko Island, we plan to hop a sail with a southerly breeze along the coast, stopping in Aasiaat and
Attu to check out Greenland's maritime culture – and hopefully a qajaq (kayak) or two at the local qajaq club –
before landing in Sisimiut. Alison will help you develop your individual perspective and style in storytelling, with
instruction on how to work artfully and optimally in the saltwater environment. 

Please visit Arctic Earth for details about the vessel and cruise and to book your spot for this exciting workshop.

The Classic Yachts Challenge Series in Maine has grown substantially over the past decade with Boothbay Yacht Club hosting the Shipyard Cup Classics Challenge, followed by Lyman Morse’s Camden Classics Cup, and then three days of racing in the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta series hosted by Rockport Marine, Brooklin Boatyard, and the Castine and Camden Yacht Clubs.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via email if you have a request for prints providing the boat name, sail number, and event. We look forward to seeing see you on the water next year.

With the dramatic weather, beautiful boats, and the incredible landscape of Penobscot Bay, making images was a dream come true at this year’s Camden Classics Cup. Shout out to my great chase boat driver, Stephen Wolter, for getting me to the right spot.

I have so many images of the boats that it’s impossible to include them all here. If you want to email me and enquire about images of your boat for print orders, please do so, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
