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.

Itinerary

Join me on an extraordinary Isle of Skye photography workshop, 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.

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

What you’ll learn

On this Isle of Skye Photography Workshop I’m at your complete disposal to help and teach you everything I know about landscape photography.

Here are a few of the key skills that I’ll be covering:

Camera Settings: It starts with the basics. RAW, Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. Learn how and when to use the various modes on your camera to get the shot you want.

Composition: Composition is everything in landscape photography. Learn how to compose a landscape photograph.

Long Exposures: Learn how to use long exposures so you can create dramatic and interesting photographs.

Histogram: Learn how to read your histogram so that you’re exposing correctly and capturing maximum data with no clipping.

Low Light: Learn how to photograph the night sky and if luck is on our side, we’ll also shoot the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).

Editing: Learn how I edit my photographs using Adobe Lightroom Classic with final touches in Photoshop.

PHOTOGRAPHER AND AURORA GUIDE

Photographer, Light Chaser, Aurora Guide, Web Dev, Biker, Daddy and I’ve got a very understanding girlfriend in no particular order.

Good to Know

Accommodation: Each participant will have their own room. (TBC)

Airport Transportation: If traveling to Scotland by air and heading to the Isle of Skye, direct bus services operated by Citylink are available from Glasgow and Inverness, taking you straight to Portree Square on the Isle of Skye.

Self Catering / Meals: We will go to supermarket every other day to gather what’s necessary for the coming days. Every day I advise to bring lunch and snacks to eat throughout the day.

Hiking: Many of the locations are no more than 10 minutes from the car, a few locations do require hiking. You must be able to walk on uneven, sometimes steep and slippery ground.

Spending Money: On my last trip, I managed to spend approximately £20/£25 per day. Everywhere takes card, cash isn’t needed.
