On Skye, we went to different locations for all our shoots. All areas were very beautiful, and all were carefully selected based on our wishes and the weather forecast. Different locations to different weather situations – all worked out for us and carefully selected to give us the best possible captures! After almost a week together in Scotland my friend and I had already booked the next trip together with Vieri!
I have been exploring and photographing Glencoe & Isle of Skye for over 15 years now, going back every year since my first visit in 2009, and their powerful, magical and ancestral-looking landscapes instantly felt like a home of the soul to me. Besides the iconic locations we all know, Glencoe & Isle of Skye offer an abundance of hidden, incredibly inspiring locations making them one of my all-time favourite destinations. From grand vistas to minimalism, from revisiting iconic locations to endlessly discovering new ones, Glencoe & Isle of Skye have it all. I immediately fell in love with the stark, austere and moody beauty of Glencoe & Isle of Skye and no matter how many times I have been there, every time I go back, I find new inspirations and shooting locations!
Designing your Glencoe & Isle of Skye Photography Workshop, leveraging on over a decade of experience leading more than 110 Workshops, 14 of which in Glencoe & Isle of Skye so far, I created a comprehensive Portfolio featuring a mix of landscapes and seascapes showcasing the beauty of Scotland in winter, when the weather complements the landscapes perfectly and snow on the peaks brings tridimensionality and depth to them.
During this Workshop, I am looking forward to putting at your service all the years dedicated to exploring and photographing Glencoe & Isle of Skye, together with my extensive tutoring expertise, for a truly unique, unforgettable and photographically inspiring learning experience!
An absolutely brilliant workshop in Glencoe and the Isle of Skye. Vieri and Zeynep are a fabulous team, and the work they have put in over years to explore and understand the locations has really paid off. They always know the safe routes to follow in the dark, always have a backup location if the weather fails, and they know the positions and angles that can dramatically change the character and meaning of the final image!
To make the most out of your time with us, we recommend you will bring to the Workshop:
