About this user

Margo Pinkerton, a.k.a. The Barefoot Contessa (a moniker she was given back in 1970, also TBC), got her first camera, a Brownie Hawkeye, at age eight and has been photographing and traveling with a passion ever since.

She has been a location and stock photographer for advertising, corporate, travel, and outdoor clients for over 25 years. During that time, Margo has given numerous photo workshops and lectures and led many photo adventures, including canoe trips down National Wild and Scenic Rivers north of the Arctic Circle.

TBC loves the outdoors, from the mountains to the oceans and most everything in between. She's spent time in all 50 states, all but two (one the new one) territories in Canada, all but one state in Australia, and a host of other countries. Part of the fascination of travel for Margo is meeting new people and photographing their environment.

Her work has appeared in a plethora of calendars, coffee-table books, and magazines worldwide, including GEO and National Geographic Traveler.

Growing up in an artistic family that exposed her to the great museums and painters of the world has given Margo a unique insight into composition and beautiful, natural light.

She started Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures back in the early 80's when it was known as Barefoot Contessa Adventures. She and her husband, fellow pro photographer, Arnie Zann, encourage people to seek their own vision, hone their seeing skills, and learn about composition, quality of light,and how to effectively use their cameras to make stunning photographs. Many of their alumni have won awards, been juried into galleries, and been accepted into shows with work they produced during or after joining us for a workshop.

BCPA workshops are located in great locations in North and Central America, Europe, and elsewhere.
