COVID-19 Policies for outdoor Hunt’s Photo Walks and Workshops
Face masks are recommended, but not required for our outdoor Photo Walks. We also ask that you maintain social distance whenever possible.
As always, if you are sick or feeling unwell, STAY HOME! We will gladly give you a credit towards a future walk.
These guidelines will stay in place until further notice. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at classes@huntsphoto.com.

Important Notes:
If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.

Popham Beach, located in Phippsburg, Maine, will be the setting for an exciting afternoon photographing Gypsy Horses and their riders at low tide. The riders will maneuver the horses along the beach for us to have various vantage points for reflections, details, lifestyle, action, and creative opportunities. Gypsy horses are a specialty breed from the UK originally where they were used to pull carriages. They are often a piebald coloring and feature hooves and legs that showcase their feathered hair.
The riders and horses will accommodate us from 1pm to 4pm, but we will meet in the parking lot at the beach at noon to acclimate ourselves. We will stay through sunset (about 6pm) in order to photograph sunset and other elements at the beach. Come join us for a unique workshop!
