         photographing the outer hebrides 

A bespoke landscape photography workshop for you to gently develop your photography on the Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides through connection and slowing down.For those who love truly remote, beautiful places and would like to experience the island from a deeper, more connected viewpoint. This workshop focuses on the individual with gentle and encouraging tuition.

The Outer Hebrides is tranquil, peaceful, and welcoming. One of the most remote places you will ever go and ideal for a coastal photography workshop. I have been visiting and photographing the Isle of Harris for 16 years. It has become my home and I know live in Geocrab on the east side of the island. It is important to me to be able to introduce you to local businesses and food and I will be able to set up unique experiences throughout the week! The food will be homecooked or locally sourced and we will visit galleries or inspirational places to help you better understand the island.

My intimate knowledge of locations, sea states, and wind direction contribute to finding the best spot each day, depending on the forecast. My desire now is to share this with you. Sharing with openness is at the heart of what I aim to do with my photography workshops on the Outer Hebrides. To lead you to places that I know and love, find locations that will inspire you and give you freely all the knowledge you need to develop your own photographic work.

The coastline is second to none, and Harris feels like an island on the edge of the world in the winter months. In November, we will likely have a beach all to ourselves. Perfect for landscape photography, the weather can be wild, changeable, and bracing. Daylight will be at its most atmospheric at this time of year with some great weather patterns. On Harris, you can often see many seasons in one day – experience fast-moving weather and clouds, rainbows, and sunshine all in one day. The Isle of Harris is best known for its sweeping, beautiful coastline.

We will not stay out all day if the weather is against us; it is important to relax and feel comfortable. There is great value in being out when the best opportunity for weather is on our side, and to keep warm and relaxed back at the lodges during other times. The workshop will not be about rushing from location to location. There is great value in being slower and more accepting of what is in front you. In this way you become closer and more connected and have more time to think about your own connections.
