Glencoe Landscape Photography 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 totally 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.

Glencoe Workshop



Landscape Photography Workshop Glencoe - Moody Landscape

There are stunning landscapes to be had, and most of them require minimal effort from you! Some of the best locations are literally a stone's throw away from the side of the road. This makes Glencoe easily accessible to just about everyone, old or young, fit or unfit! Obviously, I will encourage everyone to venture much 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 brilliant workshop a must if you get a chance. Gary’s teaching skills are first class. A fab group of people throughly enjoyed the 4 days"

“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”

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!

Where do we stay?
Glencoe has an abundance of cheap accommodation. My workshops are always out of season, so plenty of cheap offers exist.
Hotels, Sites for your camper van or Camping (with or without electricity). I stayed in a modern POD in March (2019), and it cost £45 per night. I can't recommend this enough!
We will gladly recommend the best sites that offer the best amenities and value for your money.

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 feel 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 a Landscape Photographer, inclement weather is just something we cannot predict. The best planning in the world can't allow for adverse weather conditions, especially when planning so far in advance. The weather is just something that we, as photographers, must be prepared for. 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
In my experience, people often drop out through various unexpected commitments. If you'd like to be added to a reserve list, please text Paula at 07941 003683
This will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
