The Isle of Skye is fast becoming one of the top locations in not only Scotland but the world for landscape photography. It’s famous for its unique landscapes that will take your breath away.

With awe inspiring locations like The Quiraing, Old Man of Storr, Mealt Falls, the mysterious Fairy Glen and Fairy Pools, and the stunning Eilean Donan Castle this trip is guaranteed to be spectacular and you won’t want to miss out.

Each day we will be on location before sunrise and shooting all day until after sunset.

THE REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

I love travel to new locations with experienced photographer, as they know what it takes for great photography. Tyler's Chasing Light Tour trip to Faroe Islands really exceeded my expectations. His friendly attitude, high level of energy and location knowledge wrapped in a very attractive pricing. The experience is a calm, no rush, peaceful reunion with the nature and stunning landscape, and Taylor will be here brining you back to base at the end of the day.

I was lucky enough to go on a photography tour to Lofoten last month with Chasing Lights Tours and I couldn't have asked for a better guide than Tyler. He is a knowledgeable and experienced photographer, and he provided valuable tips and advice on everything from camera set-ups through to post-production techniques. Throughout the tour, Tyler was easy going, generous and had a great sense of humour. He was also a confident and safe driver, taking us to some great locations in the archipelago. Thanks to his knowledge of the best viewing areas and an understanding of the necessary weather conditions, I was able to see the northern lights on two occasions! I had an amazing trip and felt that I learnt a lot during the tour. I am now more confident in using my camera kit and have some beautiful photos and memories of taking them which I will cherish. I can't recommend Tyler and Chasing Lights Tours highly enough - it was a fantastic experience, and I am very grateful to Tyler for making it so enjoyable.

The Lofoten Photography Tour with Chasing Light Tours was excellent! Tyler is an accomplished and creative photographer who is extremely professional and very knowledgeable. The entire tour was packed full of relevant information that was presented in a very accessible and user-friendly way, about focusing, aperture settings, shutter speeds, ISO settings and much, much more. This enabled me to use my camera to its full potential. The tour was also enjoyable and fun. Tyler looked after everyone extremely well and drove with care and skill on the icy roads. He took us to well-chosen locations that he had previously researched and visited to maximise photographic potential. The spacious accommodation that we stayed in was great and had all the amenities that we needed. I highly recommend going on a photography tour with Chasing Light Tours!

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!

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.
