Tyler led us through a trip to Lofoten in the end of January 2023. His experience within this area, his patience with clients and aurora borealis (northern lights) forecasting skills made it a once in a lifetime experience. Tyler’s workshops consist of small groups, so he can pick everyone up at his/her photography level. Whether you are experienced or not, he‘ll improve you. Thanks for the great trip!

Just back from a fabulous workshop in Lofoten with Tyler. First off - Lofoten is a landscape photographer’s paradise with a multitude of stunning locations all within easy reach. This means more time photographing and less time driving between photo stops. Bear in mind that the weather is volatile. and can be absolutely wild. This means potentially days lost (as we found out) but can also give some incredible shooting conditions as the storms clear. Tyler is a superb photographer (check out his images if you haven't done so) and he knows the locations intimately. He is knowledgable and willing to provide as much guidance as you need or to leave you alone to do your own thing if that's what you prefer. He is also very skilled in using Lightroom/Photoshop and gave us a tutorial one evening which was incredibly useful. The upshot is that you are bound to come back with lots of memorable and stunning images. Oh, and Tyler has a great instinct for finding the Aurora which meant we were chasing it whenever the skies were clear. This resulted in a truly epic night at Vik beach where we captured the lights in all their glory. The cherry on the top of a truly memorable trip!

Just back from a fantastic trip with Tyler to the Lofoten Islands. The trip was managed expertly from start to finish, and the small group size meant you got as much or little tuition as you wanted. Tyler clearly knows the area intimately, and the right time to visit, and really enjoys the ever changing landscapes, he isn’t simply going through the motions. We even got woken late at night when Tyler spotted the lights and given the option to go out and see. You can tell he wants to get you the best experience, and photographic opportunities possible. I think it’s fair to say we all come back happy with our images and shared adventure, and I for one will be re-booking sometime soon. Life is all about getting these type of amazing experiences so if you get the chance, go for it. Thanks Tyler.

Chasing Light Tours

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

A wee note for anyone new here 👋Most of my personal photography lives over on @tylercollinsphoto . That’s where I share what I’m actually out shooting day to day. Film, digital, quiet moments, wandering, and the in between frames.This page is a bit different. @chasinglighttours is focused on photography tours and travel experiences. The trips, the places, the people, and what it’s like to explore somewhere with a camera together.Both accounts matter to me, they just serve different purposes.If you’re here for the tours, you’re in the right place.If you’re here for the photographs themselves, you’ll probably feel more at home over there 📸
We had a good spell of snow over the last week, and already most of it has disappeared. As I look out the window now, you’d hardly know it was here at all.We only get a handful of snowy days each year, so when it does arrive I tend to drop everything else and get outside as much as I can. The landscape changes completely, familiar places feel new again, and those short windows are often when the most rewarding images are made.On tours, it’s always about adapting to the conditions. If there’s a small group and the roads allow for it, having access to a 4x4 can be a real help in wintery weather. More often though, it’s about careful planning, choosing the right locations, and knowing where we can work safely while still making the most of what the weather gives us.Snow never hangs around for long here, but when it shows up, it’s always worth slowing down and making the most of it.(Not sure how this format works, Instagram isn't really a fan of uploading different resolutions and crops in one set)📸 Fujifilm x100v & Insta360 AcePro 2#irelandthroughmylens #irishlandscapephotography #exploreireland #discoverireland #madeinireland
Who is this? 👋Yes, I am still alive 😂 It has been 3 months since I last posted anything on social media. My last post was back in September about heading to the Dolomites. I have been and gone. I finally made it to Venice which, at first, I did not enjoy, but by the end I really did. I popped over to the Netherlands to see my girlfriend and then went to Bruges, Belgium to visit my good friend Frans Boone Photography and did not take a single photo 🙈And now here we are, Christmas is only a couple of weeks away and I have not bought a single present, nor have I put up a tree. Can you tell I am not exactly a Christmas person? 😂Anyway, about this photo. This was taken up in Lapland earlier this year. The wind was howling, the snow was blasting across the hills, and we were all trying to remember what warm fingers felt like. One of those moments that reminds me why I love what I do, the adventure, the challenge, the way the weather shapes everything in landscape photography. You can plan as much as you like, but in the end you are out there dancing with the elements.I am already super excited for my Lapland tour in February with Tiina Törmänen Photography and we still have places left if you are interested. If you fancy a week of snow, stories, good company and chasing that beautiful Arctic light, you are more than welcome to join us ✨It feels good to be back on here, even if I am still avoiding Christmas like it is a sport. Hope you are all doing well, and if you are out shooting this winter, wrap up warm and chase that good light ❄️📸
Off to the Dolomites today for what will be my final tour there. I’m excited to be heading out with a group of five, showing them my favourite places at the right times of day, catching up with old friends and making new ones along the way.I’ll admit I’m nervous about the next 12 months. For nearly 8 years I’ve been travelling almost every month to destinations people dream of, and now I’m choosing to focus more on Ireland, my web design business, and most importantly, family.When my youngest asked me why I go away so much, that really hit home. I’ll always be able to earn more money, but I can’t make more time, once it’s gone, it’s gone.Part of me believes I can make this work, the other part wonders if I’m walking away from too much. I guess time will tell.#chasinglighttours #dolomitesphotography #giaupass
Home again after an unforgettable week on my North West Ireland tour. We covered around 1,300 miles in just seven days, chasing light across wild coastlines, mountains, and hidden corners. It all passed far too quickly, but what a journey with an incredible group of people, laughter from start to finish, and conditions that gave us photographs we’ll be talking about for years to come.Next week I head to the Dolomites in Italy for my final ever tour there, before returning to Donegal in December for another adventure. Ireland is where my heart lies, and moving forward, it’s where I’ll be pouring my energy. More time here means even greater opportunities to discover the magic of this land, camera in hand.Every tour feels unique, every group brings its own energy, and every photograph tells a new story. If you’ve ever thought about joining one, now might just be the time.#chasinglighttours #donegal #irelandphotography #errigalmountain #wildatlanticway
An 8-minute exposure capturing the movement of sky and sea, yet I’m still amazed at how someone managed to sit perfectly still the entire time. A rare moment of patience in a place carved by time itself.I always tell everyone that Finn McCool chiselled every one of these stones by hand… and standing here, it’s easy to believe it. In truth, these hexagonal columns were formed around 60 million years ago by cooling volcanic lava, nature’s own masterpiece.#chasinglighttours #causewaycoast #discovernorthernireland #landscapephotography #giantscauseway
No sunrise shoot for us this morning with the heavy rain, so a well-earned lie in was much appreciated.We took the scenic route towards Derry, passing through Downhill and along Benone beach, easily my favourite place in the world.We’re staying in Derry tonight to give us easy access for our sunset shoot at Malin Head this evening, but rather than let the day slip away completely, we made a detour to Ness Woods. It’s not somewhere I usually take guests, but I didn’t want the day to go to waste.When it’s raining outside, a forest is always a good shout, offering shelter from the elements and a different kind of beauty to photograph.#chasinglighttours #discovernorthernireland #landscapephotography #Nesswoods #photographytours
Our afternoon session on Day 2 brought us to Runkerry Beach. The plan was to work with Runkerry House in the distance as our subject, searching for interesting foregrounds to balance the scene. The grasses in the dunes and the curve of the beach made the perfect frame, leading the eye naturally towards the headland.But looking at this image, it raises an interesting question. What role do manmade or human elements play in landscape photography? Is this still a landscape photo when the house and the people running on the beach become part of the scene, or does it become something else? Perhaps it is about finding the balance, sometimes letting nature speak for itself, other times embracing how people and structures sit within the wider landscape.I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Do you include human elements in your landscapes, or do you prefer to keep your frames purely natural?Keep an eye on my stories this week for more behind the scenes from the North West Ireland Photography Tour. A full blog post will follow at the end of the trip.#ChasingLightTours #CausewayCoast #DiscoverNorthernIreland #LandscapePhotography #RunkerryBeach
Our first sunrise session of the tour took us to Kinbane Castle. After a 4:30am start and a descent down 140 steps in the dark, we were greeted by shifting skies and soft light breaking through the clouds. The castle sits dramatically on its headland, and even with the low cloud rolling in, the mood was beautiful.I am not a historian, I am a photographer, but I do enjoy sharing a few snippets about the places we shoot. Kinbane Castle was built in the mid 1500s by Colla MacDonnell and its name means “white head” in Irish, after the pale limestone cliff it sits on.It was the perfect introduction to sunrise on the Causeway Coast, moody, unpredictable and always rewarding.Keep an eye on my stories this week for more behind the scenes moments from the North West Ireland Photography Tour. A full blog post will follow at the end of the trip.#ChasingLightTours #CausewayCoast #DiscoverNorthernIreland #LandscapePhotography #KinbaneCastle
When the light breaks through the clouds like this, all you can do is stop and take it in. After starting the evening down on Downhill Beach, I made the call to head up to Binevenagh and it was the right decision. The views were incredible and the light kept dancing across the landscape, fading and returning, making every frame feel different.This is just a glimpse of Day 1 of the North West Ireland Photography Tour. Keep an eye on my stories this week for a behind-the-scenes look at what life on tour is like. A full blog post sharing the journey will be coming at the end of the week. #ChasingLightTours
