Photography workshop

Scotland, Isle of Skye

Iconic place of landscape photography
The Scottish island of Skye probably needs no introduction. Wild nature, beautiful mountains, beaches and unpredictable weather that changes several times a day. But it is the unstable weather that is interesting for the photographer. All the more chance that the gloomy rainy landscape will change in a second and be flooded with light at sunset. This is why many photographers find it worthwhile to travel to this beautiful corner of the world.
It will also be my first visit to Scotland, so it will be about discovering new places together. Of course, I will plan the entire trip in detail, including points for photography. And I believe that together we will also want to discover something new and explore lesser-known places.

Characteristics of the workshop

The workshop is intended primarily for photographers interested in landscape photography. Due to the nature of the landscape, this course is intended primarily for photography at wider focal lengths, but a telephoto lens will definitely find its place.
It will not be a classic workshop, but rather a photo expedition, during which we will discover new places together. There are many places on the Isle of Skye that are easily accessible by car, but there are certainly also many places that are hidden from the average tourist, and I would like to visit such places with you.

Advantages of the workshop

  • wild nature and few people out of season
  • ideal for practicing composition and working with exposure time
  • all locations together, without the need for long transfers or exits
  • good mood and willingness to explain and thereby pass on as much knowledge and experience as possible
  • pleasant accommodation, where we always spend a relaxing evening taking photos
