WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
This retreat is a unique opportunity for women from all creative backgrounds to gather for spiritual renewal, to connect with their physical well-being, and to celebrate their lives as artists. Joyce creates an atmosphere where you can be inspired, not only as a photographer, but as a human being. Every morning starts with a session in guided imagery in Joyce’s private meditation room. Afterward, we look at the work photographers bring with them, or critique new assignments Joyce gives the group. During the afternoon we go on location in private gardens and other areas along the idyllic coastline of Maine. Each evening, participants edit work they have shot during the day, our tech assistant Clare Coco will help solve Photoshop challenges and keep the spirit up with her playful personality. NORDphotography's founder Elisabeth N Aanes will handle the logistics of the workshop and make sure everyone has a great experience.

JOYCE TENNESON
Tenneson is among the most respected photographers of our time, and has been described critically as "one of America's most interesting portrayers of the human character." Her work is a combination of portraiture and mythology-she is interested in discovering the archetypes of our being.

Tenneson's work has been shown in over 150 exhibitions worldwide, and is part of numerous private and museum collections. Her photographs have appeared on countless covers for magazines such as: Time, Life, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, Premiere, Esquire and The New York Times Magazine. She is also a much sought-after portrait photographer with clients in Europe, Japan, and the United States.

Ms. Tenneson is the author of fifteen books. Her latest, entitled Shells: Nature's Exquisite Creations, was published by Down East in Fall 2011. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the International Center of Photography's Infinity Award, for best applied photography. In addition, she has been named "Photographer of the Year" by the international organization, Women in Photography. A recent poll conducted by American Photo Magazine voted Tenneson among the ten most influential women photographers in the history of photography.

Tenneson's portraits go beyond a surface recording of her subject's likeness. Her signature-style images attempt to show the inner person who hovers behind the facade. Says Tenneson: "I want to allow others to reveal and celebrate aspects of themselves that are usually hidden. My camera is a witness. It holds a light up for my subjects to help them feel their own essence, and gives them the courage to collaborate in the recording of these revelations."
