ORKNEY islands WORKSHOP - £2,750

Our Orkney Islands experience will not just take you back into history but will provide you with a unique appreciation of this set of Islands and its community.
You will experience the breath-taking cliffs at Yesnaby where the north Atlantic crashes against the rugged steep cliff faces; visit the historic sea stack ‘the Old Man of Hoy’ experience a day trip to the Isle of Sanday to document the magnificent Sand-dunes that pretty much makes this island what it is to the Brough of Birsay at dusk to shoot long exposures at dusk and the ancient neolithic site - the Ring of Brodgar. Orkney has many possibilities for adventure and learning, come join us and experience this stunning island archipelago.
Our tour will begin from Inverness railway station (airport pickup is also available) and on up the Caithness coastline to Scrabster, where we embark on the ferry to Stromness (passing the Old Man of Hoy on the way) on mainland Orkney.

Each Workshop is currently restricted to four clients to ensure we don’t cause to much environmental impact in this remote wilderness. We are here to experience nature in all it’s forms, respecting nature is important to my ethos. This small group also means we can allow plenty of time for individual attention to make sure you learn to photograph the area under the best light and supervision possible.
