While each workshop is different, and locations change depending upon availability, weather, etc., here are some examples of what students of Neal Parent photography workshops may encounter.
ANGELIQUE
MAINE IN WINTER
“While a student at Montgomery College and taking a photojournalism class, I was asked to take pictures of an art festival. At the Sugarloaf Crafts Festival in Gaithersburg, MD, Neal was the only person willing to let me take pictures of him and his artwork. Since meeting him back in 2004, I have taken classes with Neal about five times and he has helped me build my own darkroom. Aside from my classes in high school and college, Neal is by far the greatest teacher I have ever had and a fun person. Neal makes a week up in Maine informational and very enjoyable.” – Andy Sussman
MAINE IN SPRING
“I had one of the best weeks I had in years. I learned a tremendous amount, laughed until it hurt and came away with treasures of friendships and photos.” – Tom Ashley
MAINE IN SUMMER
“I want to let you know how much I appreciated and enjoyed the Photography Workshop you conducted at Chateau Montelena. Your focus on working with the participants to improve their technical and artistic photographic skills was particularly helpful.
For myself, your experience and instruction have inspired me to move from a picture taker to a photographer. Although I have a long way to go, you have put me on the right track. I can now more effectively use my camera and take photographs that would not have been possible before your Workshop.
Thank you for your invaluable instruction and let’s do a workshop in Hawaii.”
– Jonathan Gardner, Chateau Montelena
MAINE IN FALL
“Neal is an excellent master teacher plus he quickly makes the group cohesive.”
