Recently back from a trip to Lofoten Islands with Tyler and could not recommend him enough. We had an incredible time, Tyler was always on hand to give advice or suggestions on how to improve our composition or image. His driving skills in the snow was amazing always felt safe when travelling from location to location even though the conditions were terrible. His knowledge of the local area was super answering any questions we had and always had an interesting few facts to share.. Having small group sizes meant that we all got as much help as we needed and he would make sure to go round the group multiple times on each location., He made the week fun, enjoyable and one to never forget. If you are considering a photography workshop look no further and get yourself booked. You will not regret it!!

I have recently returned from a wonderful trip to Lofoten Norway led by Tyler Collins Photography. It has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience, I have came away with great images, a deeper knowledge and understanding and a rekindling of my passion for landscape photography. Tyler was a great mentor, and with a small group was able to give time and direction to everyone. He stressed the importance of finding your composition and if necessary being patient and waiting for the conditions to be right which served me well on a few occasions. We were pleased that his 100% record was upheld for the Aurora, as on our arrival we were greeted by its presence. I would highly recommend his workshops and the manner in which he conducts them.

Been to Norway, Lofoten with Tyler, 7 days of photography, 7 great days in good company. Tyler nows photography and is very will prepared, get us to the right place at the right time, we visited amazing locations, Tyler gives good advies about focusing and composition. Driving on the ice roads is a skill, never felt unsafe for a moment! I would highly recommend booking one of their tours or workshops, you won't be disapointed.

I would like to say that the trip to Iceland was all that I hoped it to be; and more. Your organisation, driving and ability to get us to the right place at the right time was appreciated. I could not have asked for more. To see the northern lights on three nights was icing on the cake and the trip to the glacier was for me unexpected and very, very special. Magic.

What a great 2-day adventure traveling around Northern Ireland with Tyler! Tyler planned our entire 2-days, bringing us to some fantastic locations for what we called “photography camp” for a group of 3 of us. He customized the 8 hr days based on each of our learning needs/desires and made sure we arrived at each location with plenty of time to catch great photos. Even the rain didn’t stop us...it made for a perfect opportunity to catch a rainbow shot. He also went out of his way to pick us up/return us to our hotel. Highly recommend his private tours and we can’t wait to join him on one of his trips to see northern lights sometime!

If you would like to get into Astrophotography Tyler has good value trips to suit all needs from beginners to more experience. Book in advance well worth the money.

I was out in Iceland with Tyler at the beginning of October and had such a great time on the workshop. I learned a lot and came home with lots of photos that I am so pleased with. Tyler has such a great depth of knowledge both on the photography side as well as on the travel side going around Iceland. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was happy with what they were able to shoot and went that extra mile - literally! to ensure we got to see the aurora as well as driving long distances to take us to locations that not everyone is prepared to travel to. You couldn't meet a more helpful person, I would go on another tour without hesitation. 5 out of 5

It’s been a couple of weeks since getting back from my first trip to Iceland and finally my head is out of the clouds! Such an amazing time and that’s is all down to Tyler! It felt like he had lived in Iceland for years... He knew so much and his plans were so good! His 100% success rate of Aurora speaks for itself lol. I’ve came home with a load of photographs that I’m so happy with. Honestly I would book Tyler for another tour next week if I could. Thanks buddy. Loved every minute!

What an amazing week that was ! I already visited Iceland once in the past but a dedicated photography workshop really makes a huge difference. And Tyler is no stranger to the success of last week workshop. First keeping voluntarily the number of participants low (we were 4) makes the experience more 1-to-1 style, more personal. Easier to get advice on composition, equipment,….. Tyler really works hard for everybody to have a wonderful time and to get back home with pictures to be happy with, sometimes driving very long distance just to get the right light at the right moment. He also constantly adapts the schedule to both weather conditions and participants wishes. Don’t be deter by the relative lower prices compared to the crazy expensive 15-participants workshop one finds on internet. This just makes the choice of Tyler’s workshop even more straightforward. Would I go for another workshop with Tyler ? Tomorrow without any hesitation ! Thank you Tyler ! Thank you ! Thank you !

Just came back from Iceland from one of Tylers workshop and had the time of my life. I learnt so much from this workshop. Tyler was very attentive to all that were on the group, answered all my questions without hesitation. If you are looking to have more knowledge in photography this workshop is exactly what you want and need. You will go back home wanting more. Thank you for all.

Very much enjoyed your talk and slideshow at Ards Camera Club on Friday night. Very clear and informative and your passion and desire to pass on your expertise was very evident. I think I’m not the only one who will be tagging along on one of these Thursday night Causeway Coast adventures with you and your followers lol. Super images and look forward to seeing you again, thank you.

Friday 28th September and a full house at Ards Camera Club were treated to an evening of Astro Photography with a bit of Landscape for good measure, all provided by Tyler Collins. The evening got off to a loud cheer when it was revealed that club member Keith Malcolm was Tyler’s primary school teacher in a slightly earlier era. So, with pupil turned teacher, Tyler proceeded to educate everyone about the art of photographing the stars and the Arora with lots of images taken home and away. Most were amazed that with the right conditions, the Arora is very visible from the North West coast of Ireland and Tyler illustrated this with many photographs taken from the Antrim coast right through to Malin Head in Donegal. However, most would agree that the best and most detailed images were taken in Iceland where Tyler spend some time as an Arora guide and now regularly runs workshops there. Apart from his Astro work for which he is best known, Tyler is also very keen on Landscape Photography and the evening concluded with a display of images taken mostly in Ireland and Scotland. Many thanks to Tyler for this presentation of superb images, each provided with a detailed explanation of location, camera settings and all the other necessary requirements to achieve the finished product. Great night, Tyler is a down to earth guy with super presentation skills and really engages with those around him. Highly recommended for any aspect of photography, especially his Astro and Arora work.

Went to Tylers lightroom course yesterday and I would highly recommend it. I had very little knowledge of the programme but he explained everything very well and made it easy to understand.

First of all, you can not go wrong with Tyler. My wife and I were planning a trip to Ireland for the end of May and I thought this would be a great opportunity to get some professional help with my photography, so I started researching about a month before we left. I sent out many emails and researched many companies and people to provide the assistance I needed. Tyler was the quickest to respond and after several emails back and forth I decided to go with Tyler. My reason, he was quick to respond, spoke to me as a friend would and not a client, his prices were fair and he made me comfortable with the entire process. A quick side note, I was still getting responses after we returned from Ireland. My wife and I both spent the day with Tyler and had one of, if not the best outing of our two week trip. Tyler was just as I had anticipated, friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to please. I ended that day with the best photos I have ever taken. We're thinking about a trip to Iceland and you can bet we will have Tyler as our guide and expert. Tyler, we thank you for a great day!

Had a great 1- 1 with Tyler in Donegal. Very helpful and hands on, especially with composition. Would thoroughly recommend his workshop. It’s an investment not a cost

We did an Astro workshop with Tyler and Steven in May. They are both enthusiastic and very helpful and made us feel very welcome even though we are mere amateurs. They will ensure that you get as much help as one needs. Plenty of individual help in explaining all the settings etc. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend them. I ll definitely be back for another workshop.

I participated in Tyler's Iceland workshop last week and have to say I had the most AMAZING 4 days. Tyler's knowledge of photography and Iceland were invaluable to making the whole experience so memorable. He is very patient, courteous and never left a location until we were all happy with our shots. He would review our images and offer advice and encouragement. He drove long distances to make sure we covered as many of the photo opportunities that the varied landscape of Iceland has to offer. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Tyler's Iceland workshop and hope to do another in the future.

Just back from the the Iceland workshop taken by Tyler. i must say i have never experienced anything like it. From the time we met Tyler at the airport to the end of the 5 day/4 night stay in Iceland everything was planned to perfection ie tyler hired a mini bus with plenty of room for everybody.We stayed in Log Cabins which had everything from warm showers to comfortable beds and all mod cons for cooking. Tyler drove us to the locations and helped us setup our cameras and what to look for. Thanks Tyler for everything and what a stunning place iceland.

Excellent Astro Workshop with Tyler and Steven Hanna on Friday night. Informative, enjoyable, pushing my boundaries and providing a great start to Astro Photography ... thank you both!

I was out at the Giants Causeway on Friday night with Tyler and Steven Hanna. Very informative workshop, great lads. Felt at ease the minute I walked into the room. Would definitely book another workshop.

I had reservations before going on one of Tyler's Astrophotography workshops. Why? Well Im Riddled with osteoarthritis and to make matters worse I have a fairly old camera. I can honestly say that my concerns were completely unnecessary. Tyler choose the venue perfectly - it was easily accessible and still an amazing place. He is probably the most knowledgable photographer I've met and yet his modesty means you never feel daunted. I learned so much in six hours that will help with every area of my photography. The processing part of the course was amazing . All in all I leant so much and I can now manually focus....a first! If you aren't very mobile I couldn't recommend this course highly enough. If you can climb mountains I'm sure Tyler would oblige. It was a wonderful evening and certainly inspired me to just get out there and take photos.

My friend and I recently joined Tyler for his Astro Photography workshop with Post Processing. He was very welcoming and quickly put us at our ease. Although the introductory section of the workshop was aimed at photographing stars he was very able to answer our random questions. We really enjoyed our time down at the Causeway, despite 1) Tyler's repeatedly putting our cameras out of focus to give us practice at manually refocusing on a star (thanks!) and 2) some light cloud that rolled in. The final section on post-processing was vital and, again, Tyler spent time answering our many questions. Would we book on another workshop with Tyler..? We already have 🙂

I recently returned from a 7 day photographic tour of Iceland, expertly led by Tyler. He brought us to some amazing sights along Iceland's southern coast. With Tyler providing much-appreciated photographic guidance throughout - particularly around composition, using filters, metering & post-processing. During our visit, we had some challenging weather conditions but Tyler's knowledge of the area allowed him to adapt our itinerary and help ensure that we made of the most of our time on the island. I look forward to taking part in future trips/workshops with Tyler.

One of the best photographers in the business! His work is superior quality and his attitude to work is amazing. You can't go wrong with Tyler, I would very strongly recommend him.

I bought a beautiful picture of Benone/Downhill strand from Tyler which we had framed for my parents' new home; they loved it! In addition to being a great photographer, Tyler is really friendly and organised - all communication was prompt, polite, and the shipping was fast, well-priced, and hassle-free. I would thoroughly recommend Tyler Collins Photography!

I recently participated in a two day one on one Wild Atlantic photography tour with Tyler. I live in Sydney so I booked it from the other side of the world. It was an easy and pain free experience as Tyler was always available and prompt with his responses. Tylers approach to customer service and his accommodating personality meant that I learnt quite a bit from our two days together in the Sperrins, Donegal and Causeway Coast. He has impeccable local knowledge of the Irish countryside and coastline. His tours give you access to hidden jewels that you would not normally find if looking for yourself on a tight holiday schedule. I would like to thank Tyler for his photography tour and I fully endorse and recommend his services to all photographers from all levels. I look forward to the next time I am visiting home (Northern Ireland) when I will be sure to catch up with Tyler again and try out other areas.

On Friday night I headed out with Tyler for an Astro Workshop at the Giants Causeway. If you haven't been to one of his workshops before I would highly recommend booking one. He has a wealth of knoledge on photography and is a really easy guy to talk to. Will definitely be booking another �

Excellent Images, the quality of the Photographs show that !

Tyler recently photographed our wedding day & I couldn't recommend him more for any occasion. He really spent a lot of time & effort with us getting a true understanding of the way we wanted our day captured. Not only was Tyler very professional but he also made everyone feel very comfortable, relax & at ease the whole day, people even commented on how nice a guy Tyler was to everyone. I would highly recommend him!!!
