Workshops, Exhibits, Oh My…
Hi, everyone
I hope you are having a great weekend!
It’s been a while since I sent an update, and a lot has happened since. It’s been a busy time in my life, both as a photographer and on other fronts. Spring is finally here, it seems (despite the projected cool-down next week), and I wanted to give you a heads up about things that are happening.
Exhibits/Awards
Let’s start with some amazing news. My work Reflections at Buttermere has been shortlisted in the Landscape category of the Open Sony World Photography Awards. And even though I didn’t win, it is still a huge, huge honor. To put this into context, this competition is probably the biggest international photography competition out there. The organizers say they received four hundred thousand (400,000 !) submissions from photographers around the world. Obviously not all submissions were in the same category and people submitted multiple images, but that number is still completely insane.
The exhibit opened yesterday in London. I encourage you to check out the shortlist and winner galleries for Landscapes and other categories!
After receiving this honor I decided to offer this image as a limited edition print as either a framed metal, fine art, or a framed fine art prints. I currently have the framed metal print and it looks absolutely stunning. In the future, I plan to offer additional images as limited editions as well. All limited editions come with a certificate of authenticity.

My work currently appears in several exhibits across New England. Check out the Upcoming Events tab for more details. I try to keep that tab up to date. So, you don’t have to wait till my newsletter if you want to know what I am up to.
My image The Brewing Storm in Black and White has been accepted into the Fine Art of Photography exhibit at the Plymouth Center for the Arts. The opening reception is April 25th, 4-6pm. If you would like to attend, you can get the tickets here. It promises to be an excellent exhibit in a beautiful gallery close to the waterfront in Plymouth, MA. I urge you to check it out even if you can’t make it to the reception (it is free to visit the gallery on other days)! The exhibit is going to run April 25th - May 31st.

I am waiting for jury results for a couple of other exhibits, and hope to be able to announce those soon as well. In addition, a big announcement is coming up (hopefully next week). So, stay tuned!
Artfairs
If you would like to meet me and see my work (outside of the exhibit receptions), I will be participating in two art-fairs in May (before taking a break for a busy summer). Check out the Upcoming Events tab for a full list of Art Fairs for the year.
ArtiCulture Westfield 2026, Westfield, MA — May 8-9
Paradise City Northampton in Northampton, MA — May 23-25
This is the first time I will be participating in the ArtiCulture event. It promises to be a fun event. Paradise City are always excellent. Come visit me at booth 629 this year!
New Workshops
I am happy to announce two exciting workshops running in early June. These are small-group, all inclusive, highly immersive photography workshops. They are appropriate for photographers of any level who would like to level up their skills! Check the workshop announcements here.
In the first workshop (June 1-4) we will spend three nights/four days in the Berkshires/Green Mountains region, where we will photography flowing waterfalls, classic farm scenes of Vermont, and blooming azaleas at the Moore State Park. Our base will be near Holyoke, MA.
In the second workshop (June 6-11) we will spend 5 nights/6 days exploring the Maine coast (mid-coast and Acadia National Park). We will start near Rockport, ME, explore iconic lighthouses, lupine fields (hopefully!) and some beautiful abstract rock strata. After that we will move to the Acadia National Park and explore both some iconic as well as some less known locations.
Both workshops will have between three (3) and six (6) participants and will allow me to devote significant time to help you create great and memorable images.
If you are interested in either of the workshops (why not both? :-) ) and have any questions, let me know.
Well, that’s it for now! Hopefully, a few more announcements coming soon.
Have a great rest of your weekend
Dimitry
