Glencoe Landscape Photography Workshop & Training Course

Landscape Photography Workshop – Glencoe, Scotland

Glencoe, nestled in the breathtaking Highlands of Scotland, is undeniably one of the top five destinations in the world for landscape photography. This rugged and dramatic location offers everything a photographer could dream of, soaring mountain ranges, cascading waterfalls, and vast moorlands that stretch as far as the eye can see.

The area is teeming with wildlife, from majestic red deer to powerful stags that roam freely across the landscape. Many of these animals have grown accustomed to human presence, and some will even take food from your hand, an unforgettable experience for any nature lover.

The sheer beauty of Glencoe is nothing short of cinematic. In fact, this remarkable location was chosen as a filming site for the James Bond blockbuster Skyfall. If you've seen the movie, you'll instantly recognize some of the stunning locations we’ll visit during the workshop.

What You’ll Gain from This Workshop

• Capture stunning landscapes in and around the iconic Glencoe region.
• Learn expert composition techniques to make your images truly stand out.
• Master the art of working with natural light, from sunrise to sunset.
• Get hands-on guidance on camera settings, filters, and long exposures.
• Experience up-close encounters with local wildlife, enhancing your nature photography skills.

This workshop is perfect for photographers of all levels, whether you’re a beginner looking to refine your skills or an experienced shooter wanting to expand your portfolio with breathtaking Scottish landscapes.

Join me for an unforgettable adventure, where every frame tells a story, and every moment is an opportunity to create something extraordinary.

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"

Glencoe Landscape Photography Workshop

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

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?
5 - We restrict the numbers to five 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

RESERVE LIST
