Why We Are Co-Hosting This Workshop

We are co-hosting this workshop because our strengths complement each other in the field. Together, we bring decades of experience photographing and teaching in remote, dynamic environments around the world. Our shared approach is hands-on, patient, and focused on helping photographers slow down, see more clearly, and create meaningful images.

By co-hosting, we are able to give participants more individual attention in the field, offer multiple perspectives on composition and technique, and adapt quickly to changing light, weather, and conditions. This collaboration allows us to create a supportive, well-paced experience where photographers can learn, explore, and fully immerse themselves in Scotland’s landscapes.

Get ready for some amazing landscape photography of the Isle of Skye, Scotland.

Limited to 8 guests for a small-group, hands-on photography experience with two instructors, creating a 4:1 guest-to-instructor ratio.
