Glencoe Landscape Photography Workshop
Glencoe Landscape Photography Workshop & Training Course
Landscape Photography Workshop – Glencoe in the Highlands of Scotland is among the top 5 places to photograph stunning landscapes worldwide. It has everything a photographer could ever dream of. Stunning mountain ranges. Cascading mountain waterfalls. Wildlife is more beautiful than you could ever imagine. Wild Deer and huge Stags that are comfortable in the presence of humans. Some will even eat treats out of your hands. It's jaw-droppingly beautiful and so fantastic for pictures.
Glencoe is so picturesque that even parts of James Bond's blockbuster "Skyfall" were filmed there. If you've seen the film, you'll recognise the area when we visit.
Objectives: Photograph amazing landscapes in and around the stunning Glencoe area.

There are stunning landscapes to be had, and most require minimal effort! Some of the best locations are a stone's throw away from the side of the road. This makes Glencoe easily accessible to everyone, old or young, fit or unfit! I will encourage everyone to venture further away from the easily accessible locations, but this will be up to you!
I guarantee you’ll return home with photographs you’ll want to print and cherish forever.
"What an experience at Glencoe's brilliant workshop a must if you get a chance. Gary’s teaching skills are first class. A fab group of people thoroughly enjoyed the 4 days"

WATCH THIS!
Hi All, Just back from Glencoe & wanted to share my experience as an attendee of one of Gary's courses. Have to say as a relative 'newbie' to the world of Photography the course was fantastic. Fantastic locations, hospitality, & knowledge. All in all the course was worth every penny & went above & beyond my expectations. I learnt lots about composition, lighting & even features on my camera which I didn't know about so thank you very much. A big shout out also to Paula & the other Gary for all your help & support along the way. I have so many images to share & following is a link to those I've uploaded to my webpage. If anyone is considering going on one of Gary's courses then I can highly recommend. Once again many thanks
John”I attended a workshop with Gary Gough and Paula in Glencoe last week. This was an awesome experience from which I learned a lot to improve my photography skills and came away with some great images. As an older photographer I needed a bit more support than other members of the workshop and Gary was always supportive and considerate when suggesting whether or not I would be better off skipping a particular location due to the terrain. I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending one of Gary’s workshops to anyone wanting great locations at which to obtain great images and improve your compositional skills at the same time.

FAQ's
How do I book?
A £150 deposit secures your place. Payments can be made by bank transfer or online.
Just call the studio and speak to Paula.
What skill level do I have to be?
All skills are welcome, beginner to advanced. With such a small group, I can cater to all levels. It’ll almost be like a 1-2-1 for the week. Group training will also be given, of course!
How many Attendees?
6 - We restrict the numbers to six to ensure you get as much tuition as possible. It'll feel like a full-on 1-2-1 for a whole week. You can also have as much space as you like!

How fit do I need to be?
Not fit at all – All areas are accessible by vehicle and then a short walk. The only challenge will be the hike to an elevated area to shoot down on the white cottage. It's just a gentle climb; you can go up as far as you want. There won’t be any rushing on this trip. If you can’t make it, you can still photograph the famous cottage below.
Is my camera good enough?
Is it a Camera? Then yes – all of the above could have been taken on a cheap camera, and the results would have been the same, GUARANTEED!
Pro Camera available to rent for £10 per day (inc. lens)
What Equipment will I need?
Your Camera – Sturdy Tripod – ND filters (these aren't expensive, and I can advise the right ones to buy)
Why Autumn/Winter?
Good skies make for a great picture, the more dramatic the sky the better the image. There are no tourists anywhere (except us). The roads are empty, so getting from A to B is a breeze.
And there are NO MOSQUITOES.
What if the weather is bad?
As Landscape photographers, inclement weather is just something we cannot predict. Even the best planning in the world can't account for adverse weather conditions, especially when planning so far in advance. We must be prepared for it. Because of this, we DO NOT GUARANTEE that we will be able to visit all of the locations listed. We'll certainly try our best, though!
How much is the deposit, and when do I pay the balance?
£100 deposit is required to secure your place on the course – the balance is due six weeks before the 1st day of training
