Small Group Photography Tours · europe & ireland · since 2017

Explore. Learn. Create.

Photography tours across some of Europe’s most beautiful landscapes. Intimate groups of 5-6 photographers, built around being in the right place at the right time and refined through years of returning to the same places until I know them like the back of my hand.

Intentionally Small

I limit every tour to just 5 or 6 photographers. This keeps the experience personal and allows me to work closely with everyone, adapting to conditions and working without the pressure of larger groups.

Local Knowledge

I specialise in a small number of locations I know extremely well, including Ireland, Lofoten, Lapland, and the Dolomites. These are places I’ve returned to over many years, refining each tour through experience.

Everything Arranged

I take care of all accommodation, transport, and planning throughout the tour. This ensures everything runs smoothly and allows you to focus fully on photography and working in the right conditions.

Refined Experience

Since 2017, I’ve led over 80 photography tours in locations I know very well. Each tour has helped refine how I guide, and that experience carries through into every photography tour I run today.

Just got back from the Iceland tour. This was undoubtedly one of the best trips I have embarked on. Tyler definitely knows his stuff and brought us to each location at the best time of the day. We just needed to sit back, relax, and let him do his thing. It also meant that I was free of the hassle of looking at the substorm activity and weather when chasing the northern lights, having chased them on my own for a number of years only without much luck. I can imagine this is no easy job as the plan and itinerary of each day needed to change every hour depending on the weather and how crowded the locations were. Tyler is also the most encouraging when shooting on location, giving just the right amount of guidance and lots of freedom. I met the best companions on this tour, and I never would have thought I would bring home such precious memories. I have recommended Tyler to several of my friends, and I personally am looking forward to my next tour already.

I loved the high level of intensity from early mornings to late nights waiting on the aurora. Most importantly, your advance location work meant I could give ample time and full attention to the play of light on the vistas before me~without the distractions of logistics planning or renting a car. I appreciated your flexibility and sense of timing to drive us to ideal locations at the best moment for the light. An added plus was being in the international company of three other dedicated photographers who were jolly good companions!

I spent a great week with Tyler in the Dolomites. It was nice to have all the logistics handled and not having to worry about driving, parking and getting to the right place at the right time. Tyler managed all this and more. I personally learnt a lot from this first time experience in a photo tour directly from him and the group as well. Straight from the trip, I even got a drone (as I had never previously considered it). Tyler was very helpful and the tour overall was fantastic if you are a photographer. The small group size and personalized attention if you have questions made it easily something that I highly recommend.

Tyler at Chasing the Light Tours was very knowledgeable on both Iceland and photography, nothing was too much trouble to make sure the tour was a success. Our tour was made up of a group of individuals with a mixed photographic experience, Tyler tailored his advice to each, so that they could get the best out of holiday. I would strongly recommend him and plan to travel with him again soon.

Photography tours built around being in the right place, at the right time.

Since 2017, I’ve led over 80 photography tours across Ireland and Europe. Each departure has refined how I guide, how I plan, and how I respond to changing light and weather in the field.

My tours are designed to give you the time, space, and guidance needed to develop your photography while working in carefully chosen locations. More than just visiting places, they’re about working with conditions, building confidence, and creating meaningful images in the field.

My tours focus on a small number of carefully chosen locations, including Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way and Causeway Coast, as well as Lofoten, Finnish Lapland, and the Dolomites. These are places I return to regularly, refining each tour through experience and understanding how to work with conditions as they unfold.

These tours bring together photographers who value time in the field, thoughtful guidance, and the opportunity to experience exceptional places in a small group setting.

The Exposure Triangle Explained

In this post I cover how aperture, shutter speed and ISO actually work together, not as a concept to memorise, but as something you start to feel every time you pick up a camera.

Do you really need the latest camera gear to take great photos?

Everyone says gear doesn’t matter. It’s easy to say when they’ve been shooting for years. Here’s a more honest take, including when upgrading genuinely changed my photography, and when it made no difference at all.

Chasing Light Tours

Landscape Photography Workshops & Tours for all levels. Expertly led and meticulously planned by Photographer and Aurora Guide @tylercollinsphoto

It’s been a few weeks since we returned from Finnish Lapland and I’m still on a high. Already looking forward to next year.

Guests often ask what makes this place so special.

Lapland isn’t dramatic in an obvious way. It’s subtle. Vast tundra. Silence. Light that shifts slowly across frozen ground. It encourages patience. It rewards effort.

Temperatures can drop well below -25°C. Snowshoes are often essential. Reaching locations requires intention. But that’s exactly why the experience stays with you. When you put real effort into being there, the images feel earned.

And that’s what makes Lapland so powerful, not just visually, but personally.
