Scottish Photography Workshops
& Private Tours
Calm, practical photography days across Scotland, from Angus and the east coast to ancient woodland, quiet seascapes and wider landscapes.
One-to-one and small-group photography workshops, shaped around your level, pace and the kind of images you want to make.
Led by Duncan Wood
Multi award-winning Scottish landscape photographer based in Angus.
My workshops are calm, practical and personal, shaped around your level, pace and the kind of images you want to make. I teach photography slowly and thoughtfully, with attention to place.
Whether you are a complete beginner or a more experienced photographer, the aim is to help you make clearer decisions in the field and come away with more confidence.
Winner at the 2026 World Nature Photography Awards and category winner in the 2024 Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year.

What Workshop Clients Say
A few words from photographers who have joined me for one-to-one and small-group days in the landscape.
“Really enjoyed my day. I’m a beginner in photography and have been taught so much throughout the day by Duncan. Was using manual mode all day, which I thought I would never be able to do. Just great thank you, highly recommend.”
“I was fortunate to have Duncan on hand to give me all the little hints and tips to make the experience all the more worthwhile. His calm approach and deep technical knowledge meant I came away with images I otherwise may have missed.”

The Forgotten Rainforests of Scotland
Scotland’s temperate rainforests, hidden along the misty western coast, are among the rarest ecosystems on Earth—a fragile world of towering trees, vibrant mosses, and ancient life. These woodlands are living time capsules, whispering stories of a past untouched by human hands, yet they remain largely unknown and at risk. Through years of photography and exploration, I have uncovered their secrets and witnessed their quiet resilience, a journey not just of discovery but a call to protect one of Scotland’s most extraordinary natural treasures.
