When we first spoke with Ed Cooley about the location for this workshop, we asked him to “pick his spot.” Ed chose Acadia National Park, one of his favorite spots in the US to shoot. He knows this land so well, and now he will be leading us to shoot in some of his favorite spots in the area.

Instructors
Ed Cooley
www.edcooleyfineart.com
Fine art photographer, Ed Cooley, hails from the ruggedly beautiful Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas. More likely to be found halfway across the world, he still calls this wilderness home. Following a near-fatal hiking accident, Ed abruptly ended his career in software design and now travels solely in passionate pursuit of the perfect shot. Distinguished for his clean style featuring strong compositional elements and illumination, it is no wonder Ed has garnered over 150 international photography awards in the last three years alone! Completely self-taught, Ed regularly shares his unique methodologies, technique and artistic vision through presentations and seminar-style lectures. Crafted into signature masterworks (measured by feet versus inches), Ed Cooley’s work is available at his gallery and through art consultants nationwide.
