Signature Workshops

Iconic locations. Deep local knowledge. A slower way of seeing.

My Signature Workshops are designed for those who want to experience the Scottish landscape at its most evocative. These are location-specific days where we move beyond the technical basics and focus on the character, mood, and narrative of a specific place. From the ancient Caledonian pines of Glen Affric to the rare, moss-drenched canopies of the West Coast rainforests, these sessions are a deep dive into the nooks and crannies that most photographers walk past.

Available as private one to one sessions or small groups (max 3).

Before You Book

Quick answers to the common stuff. Each workshop page has a fuller FAQ section with more detail.

  • Use the Enquire About Dates button. Tell me your level, preferred days, and what you’d like help with. We’ll agree a date and location that suits.

  • Yes. Small groups and multi-day bookings can be arranged. Tell me what you’re thinking and I’ll confirm the best option.

  • Yes. Workshops are available one to one or in small groups. I keep groups small so it stays calm, personal, and you get plenty of time. If you’re organising a larger group, I can arrange that too. Just tell me the numbers and what you’d like covered.

  • Most Level 1 to 3 days run in Angus, Tayside, and Perthshire, including coastal and woodland locations.

    Signature workshops are set in carefully chosen locations across Scotland.

    If you’ve got somewhere specific in mind, bespoke days further afield can be arranged by enquiry.

  • We still shoot. Scotland’s weather often creates the best atmosphere. If conditions are genuinely unsafe or pointless, we’ll reschedule.

  • A camera with manual controls is ideal. Bring a charged battery, a spare card, and weatherproof layers. A tripod is helpful, especially for Levels 2 and 3.

  • Most locations are chosen to suit the day and your comfort level. If you have any concerns, tell me when you enquire and we’ll plan accordingly.

  • Transport is included on all workshops an agreed meeting point. Details are confirmed when we plan your day.

    I do the driving so you can relax and enjoy the day.

  • Yes. Gift vouchers are available and can be used for any workshop level.
