Embark on a thrilling 2-day photography workshop in the stunning regions of Assynt and Coigach, where dramatic landscapes and unique natural beauty await your lens. Known for its stand alone mountains and serene lochs, this area offers a photographer's paradise. And as this workshop is in Ocober, it is the rutting season, giving a higher chance of capturing some of Scotlands majestic wild stags. This workshop is designed to immerse you in the captivating scenery, from the towering peaks of Suilven and Stac Pollaidh to the intricate shorelines and tranquil waters of the lochs. Each location promises a wealth of compositions that will inspire and challenge your creative vision.
​
Throughout the workshop, we’ll visit some of Assynt and Coigach’s most iconic and hidden locations, providing endless opportunities to capture the essence of this breathtaking region. Imagine photographing the misty morning light over Loch Assynt, the crashing heads of rutting Stags, or the dramatic coastal views. Each moment spent in these landscapes will ignite your creativity and leave you with unforgettable photographic memories.
​
I will be there to offer personalised advice and guidance on everything from composition to camera settings, ensuring you make the most of each shot. While a basic knowledge of your camera is required, my goal is to help you refine your skills and bring your photographic vision to life. The hands-on approach means you’ll receive tailored tips and techniques, enhancing your ability to capture the stunning beauty of Assynt and Coigach.
​
Please note that accommodation, meals, and transport are not included, allowing you the flexibility to arrange your stay according to your preferences.
