The Outermost Lighthouse At Night
Race Point Light is at the very tip of Cape Cod and provides abundant opportunities for photographers. Between the light house tower, the main building, the whistle house and the nearby shoreline, the compositions are endless. Unfortunately, so feels the walk out to the property without the help of a four wheel drive vehicle.
But fret not, I've got you covered. If you've ever wanted to visit this lighthouse for a night photography shoot without the hassle, this event is for you. The group will meet at the Race Point Beach parking lot and be driven to the lighthouse via jeeps. After the shoot, we will be picked up and returned to the parking lot. This is your chance to visit a location that might have been out of reach for you, until now.
Ideally, we will shoot for clear skies under starry or moonlit conditions, each providing its own type of night photography magic. And if that weren't enough, there are dunes in every direction should you'd like focus on the natural beauty of the area. If the clouds roll in, we will make the best of it anyway!
For this reason, the workshop will proceed regardless of sky conditions.
Gallery
Race Point After Dark is a highly weather-dependent night photography workshop. Weather conditions, offshore storms, beach closures, and seasonal nesting bird restrictions can all affect access to Race Point Lighthouse.
For 2027, rather than announce fixed dates that may need to be postponed or canceled, workshop opportunities will be offered as conditions permit in the Fall of 2027 (September / October). Our goal is to offer two sessions during this time.
How It Works
Join the Waitlist: A $25 non-refundable fee secures your place on the 2027 Priority Waitlist and will be applied toward the workshop entry fee if a space is offered to you.
Priority Notification: Participants will be contacted in the order their waitlist entries are received as workshop spaces become available.
Short-Notice Invitations: Workshop opportunities may be announced with as little as 48 hours' notice. Notifications will be sent by email and text.
24-Hour Response: You will have 24 hours to accept or decline an invitation. No response within that period will be considered a decline.
Remain on the List: Declining an invitation does not remove you from the waitlist. You'll remain eligible for any subsequent 2027 offerings.
The waitlist expires in 2027. There are no carry-overs or credits for the following year's offerings.
