Photograph Scottish wildlife with each of these iconic species specific workshops.
Each workshop is designed to help you get fantastic photos, improve your photography and have a wonderful encounter with nature.
Photograph Scottish Wildlife
Otter workshop
Spend three days on the Isle of Mull – photograph Scottish wildlife with a particular focus on wild otters with expert tuition for fieldcraft and photographic techniques. This workshop is for all skill levels and gives you hands-on experience capturing otters in their natural coastal habitats. You’ll learn how to anticipate behaviour and get a wide range of shots for your portfolio. You will also work in changing light. You will do this while keeping wildlife safe and undisturbed.
With only two participants plus guide, you get personal tuition and flexible plans tailored to tides, light, and Otter activity.
The workshop includes pre-trip advice, in-field support, transport to multiple locations, and refreshments. Accommodation and travel to Mull are your responsibility. Once here, everything is set up for a focused, hands-on wildlife photography experience.
Red Deer Workshop
Join me for a three day Red Deer photography workshop on the magnificant Isle of Jura.
Jura is one of the best locations in the UK to see and photograph Red Deer in a truly wild setting. With about 200 people on the island but over 5,000 Red Deer it really makes high quality Red Deer encounters a regular occurrence.
I have designed this workshop to give you a range of encounters with deer. Expect close encounters with Hinds and Stags close to the road, along with more distant views of deer in their natural environment with the hills and mountains of Jura providing a wonderful environmental backdrop.
During the rut, mid September to end of October we will also focus on capturing rutting behaviour such as roaring and competing stags along with harems of hinds being gathered by the stags.
Puffin workshop
Spend a full day photographing puffins on the Isle of May. The island has one of the UK’s largest puffin colonies. You’ll get plenty of chances to capture close-up, natural images. I guide you on how to approach the birds safely and respectfully.
We start in the fishing village of Anstruther. From there, we take a short boat trip to the island. Once on the island, I show you how to get the best shots. We cover focus, composition, and lighting. You’ll also learn how to use different angles and backgrounds to make your images stand out.
The workshop is suitable for beginners and improvers. I give hands-on advice throughout the day. You’ll learn practical skills you can use in other wildlife photography situations. There’s also time to photograph other seabirds and wildlife.
The day is structured but flexible. We move at a pace that suits your skill level. I focus on giving clear guidance while letting you work independently. By the end of the day, you’ll have new confidence in wildlife photography. You’ll also leave with a strong set of images and practical techniques you can apply again and again.
This workshop is all about making the most of your time with puffins. It’s about practical skills, memorable wildlife encounters, and capturing images you’ll be proud of.
