Current & Upcoming Signature Workshops
Curated, location-led photography experiences across Scotland.
Signature Workshops sit apart from a standard tuition day. Each one is shaped around a specific place, season or subject, with more thought given to timing, light, conditions, pace and the kind of images that location encourages.
The aim is not to rush through a list of viewpoints. It is to spend time in places with real photographic depth, working more carefully with composition, atmosphere, texture, colour and personal response.

What Makes a Signature Workshop Different
A Signature Workshop is built around more than a date in the diary. It is shaped by the qualities that make a place worth photographing in the first place: location, season, light, atmosphere, pace and subject.
-
Location-Led
Each workshop is built around a specific place or route with real photographic depth, rather than a generic day that could happen anywhere.
-
Shaped Around Conditions
Season, weather, light, tide times where relevant, colour and conditions all shape the plan, depending on the location and subject.
-
Small and Personal
Available as private one-to-one sessions or small groups, so there is space for individual guidance and a calmer pace in the field.
-
More Considered
The aim is not to rush through viewpoints. It is to slow down, work carefully and make images that feel more personal and connected to place.
Led by Duncan Wood
Multi-award-winning Scottish landscape photographer based in Angus.
I lead these Signature Workshops with a calm, practical and place-led approach to one-to-one and small-group tuition.
The aim is to help photographers slow down, make clearer decisions and respond more personally to the landscape in front of them.
These workshops are built around places I know, return to and photograph myself, from ancient woodland and loch edges to coastal cliffs, seascapes, seasonal colour and quieter landscape details.
Recognition includes a 2026 World Nature Photography Awards category win and a 2024 Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year category win.
What Workshop Clients Say
Pricing & Availability
Most Signature Workshops are arranged by enquiry, unless specific booking dates are listed.
Pricing depends on the location, group size, travel, dates and whether the workshop is arranged as a single-day or multi-day experience.
-
One-to-One Workshops
Private full-day Signature Workshops usually start from £395, depending on the location and structure of the day.
-
Small Groups
Small-group prices are available for two, three or four people, with each day kept personal, calm and practical.
-
Multi-Day Options
Multi-day Signature Workshops can be arranged by enquiry, with pricing shaped around location, travel and the number of days.
Some seasonal workshops, such as Glen Affric autumn dates, may have direct booking options. Other routes are arranged by enquiry so the day can be shaped around conditions, location and your preferred dates.
Looking for a More General Workshop?
If you are not looking for a location-led Signature Workshop, you may prefer one of my more flexible photography workshops instead.
These can be shaped around woodland, coastal and seascape, landscape photography or your current level, from beginner through to advanced.
Before You Book
A few practical details before choosing a Signature Workshop.
-
Some are built around a particular seasonal window, such as Glen Affric in autumn or bluebell woodland in spring. Others are arranged by enquiry and shaped around location, season, light, conditions, tide times where relevant and your preferred dates.
-
No. Signature Workshops can be shaped around your current level. They are suitable for photographers who want a more location-led experience, whether you are building confidence, improving composition or refining a more personal approach.
-
Yes. Signature Workshops can usually be arranged as private one-to-one days or small-group sessions, depending on the location, date and availability.
-
Yes. Multi-day options are available by enquiry and can work well if you want more time in one area or would like to combine woodland, coast and landscape subjects.
-
Weather is part of landscape photography. The plan can usually be adjusted around conditions, light and safety. Soft light, cloud, rain, mist and changing weather can often work very well photographically.
-
Yes. Gift vouchers can be used towards workshops, including Signature-style options. For location-specific vouchers, it is best to send an enquiry first so the right format and value can be arranged.
