Workshop Leaders

Maurice Henri is an internationally known photographer and has been creating portrait, stock, advertising, commercial and industrial photography professionally since 1989.

His exhibits of the people and their life in Africa received critical and popular acclaim internationally.  His work has been acquired for permanent collections. It also has been shown in museums and galleries in Canada and the United States and is part of many corporate and private collections in various locations worldwide.

He is also the recipient of The Order of Moncton, the Rotary International’s Paul Harris Fellowship Award and the YMCA’s Peace Medallion, in recognition of his efforts.

 Karen Casey, knew that her path in life would be to become a professional photographer since she picked up her first camera.  She received her Diploma of Fine Craft with a major in Photography from the NBCCD.

Shortly after, Karen opened a photography studio in the heart of Fredericton’s downtown.  Wanting to spread her wings and travel, she decided to close the doors and travel outside the country for an extended period of time. 

Travelling for  several months, she visited several countries and discovered their culture while backpacking with her Nikon camera.  This has allowed her to explore the world and herself as a photographer.  She then returned home to Moncton to re-open her studio.  Being an artist is pushing, breaking the boundaries of the medium we are exploring has kept her motivated, learning and exploring on a daily basis.

Message from Maurice & Karen

One of Maurice and Karen’s most enthusiastic passions is teaching. They have become widely recognized as an energetic and inspiring speakers, teachers and workshop leaders. Their photography teaching experiences includes courses, workshops, seminars and presentations at various organizations and institutions including Artquest Photographic Workshops (Peru, Alaska, Holland, New York, Canada, Colombia, Namibia), The Namaqualand Photographic Workshops (South Africa), Community College of New Brunswick, The Professional Photographers of Canada, Holland College and numerous Camera Clubs and Corporate Conferences throughout North America.

We will work hard to make this an experience you will want to do again. Our formula is simple, creating a photographic learning environment where compatible people and perhaps kindred spirits can relax, revitalize and share their love of the creative process, using the camera to deepen self-discovery and expression in an atmosphere of support, hospitality, comfort and friendship. We wish to create something special that makes it easy to be relaxed and feel at ease.

These workshops are for those who want to awaken or keep alive the explorer, the adventurer child within. It is for those who wish to experience authentic creative journey while having the comforts of the modern conveniences most of us are accustomed to. 

It is our belief that one of the greatest challenges of a teacher (in art as in life), is to help a student "find their personal way of conveying self-expression", so that they’re natural abilities, intuitive impulses and creative essence can manifest. Of course, if technical ability seems to hinder a particular avenue of expression, we have ample experience and mastery of technique to provide the necessary instruction.
