I recently took part in the Senja 2024 February Trip, and it was truly incredible. Not only were we blessed with incredible weather conditions, but Tyler's dedication was exceptional. He goes above and beyond to ensure his workshop exceeds expectations. Tyler is genuinely easygoing, and chatting with him about photography, or anything else for that matter, was an absolute pleasure. Thank you, Tyler. I look forward to crossing paths again someday! Best regards, Philipp

Itinerary

Join me on an extraordinary Isle of Skye photography tour, where we’ll embark on a dynamic adventure tailored to capture the best possible images. Unlike fixed itineraries, I leverage the weather forecast to ensure optimal shooting conditions and seize every opportunity for stunning photographs. Each evening, I’ll plan the next day’s itinerary, allowing us to be in the right place at the right time to maximise your photography potential.

Our days will begin before sunrise, as we immerse ourselves in the captivating landscapes of Skye, shooting throughout the day until after sunset. We’ll convene in the charming town of Portree, where our tour both starts and ends. While specific timings will be confirmed, it’s currently anticipated that we’ll commence at 10 am on Monday and conclude around lunchtime on Friday, ensuring ample time for you to travel back home or to the airport.

During our journey, we’ll explore a variety of locations carefully selected to offer you diverse challenges and unleash your creative spirit. In addition to the thrill of capturing breathtaking images, we’ll have dedicated sessions to review and critique your photographs. I’ll be there every step of the way to provide guidance and insights, fostering a supportive learning environment.

This workshop is designed to be both educational and enjoyable, allowing you to enhance your photography skills while savouring the beauty of Skye. And let’s not forget to have fun! We’ll embrace the relaxed atmosphere, bask in the stunning surroundings, and create lasting memories together.

To make the most of each sunset, we’ll arrive at our chosen location approximately two hours in advance. This gives everyone ample time to scout the area and discover their ideal composition, ensuring remarkable results.

Get ready to embark on an unforgettable photography journey through the Isle of Skye, where adventure and creativity intertwine to capture the essence of this breathtaking landscape.
