Isle of Skye 5 Day Photography Workshop Tour (October 7th to 11th 2024)

Description

Join me on a 5-day photography workshop on the beautiful and picturesque Isle of Skye where world class landscape locations await us.

This is a fantastic opportunity to visit and photograph the beautiful misty isle. Spaces are likely to sell fast as have previous workshops over the years, please don’t hesitate.

As an avid fan and lover of Skye myself, you can be confident you’re in good hands with an intimate knowledge of the area having been many times over the last 10 years. I will endeavour to take you to the best spots at the best times to suit the conditions. With such a small group size you’ll be sure to get plenty of 1-2-1 tuition, ensuring you learn as much as you possibly can over the week as well as enjoying your time on the beautiful misty isle.

The workshop has been chosen for this week in October as it will provide more sociable sunrise and sunset times as well as the island being much quieter than any time before it, plus the midges will have long gone. I have run many successful workshops in October with good light and conditions. If you are concerned about the weather, trust me it can be awful in summer!

The workshop has been mainly designed to head out for the golden hours, so sunrise and sunset each day. We will likely have a bit of time in the cottage during the day to cook breakfast/lunch, do a little post-processing etc. However there may be times where I tag on locations or if the weather is looking poor maybe we will be out in the day instead at a location that suits moody such as the Fairy Pools. There will be an element of flexibility required to enable us to extract the most from the workshop and I will tell you rough plans the evening before once the weather forecast is as accurate as it can be. My aim is to get you to most of the classic locations throughout the week.

We will be staying in a self-catering cottage a 5 minute drive from Portree to ensure we are as close to the locations as we can be. As we are in a self-catering cottage, this gives us much more flexibility to come and go as we please and also cook meals in the cottage. A certain amount of flexibility will be required as we may be out shooting during some meal times but we will discuss on a day-to-day basis. With the sunset being around 18:00, we will be back most days in plenty of time for an evening meal. If you wish to eat out, you are more than welcome to and we are just 5 minutes from the town centre. We generally tend to have a meal out on the last night to sign off the week and celebrate.

Transport is provided during the week to allow you to take in those views as we drive around the island.

There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms in the cottage, enabling you to have a room to yourself. Linen and towels are provided. If you would like to bring a partner or friend, then there is a 50% discount available for the second person to those wishing to do so and happy to share a room. There is only one opportunity for this discount as it would raise the number of participants from 3 to 4. As the accommodation is a cottage the rooms vary in size, there is a double, twin and single room available. Rooms will be handed out in order of booking to ensure fairness.
