Glencoe Workshops
Small group workshop in the Glen Coe area Maximum of 4 participants. We will take in some of the iconic locations, as well as explore the stunning scenery that Glencoe has to offer.
The workshop is tailored around you or your group as much as possible and I hope to give each of you on the course for that day the best day possible. By the end of the day, you will have hopefully learned new techniques and taken away some imagery you will be proud of and at the same time be more confident with your camera skills. In case there are any questions you may have overlooked on the day please feel free to keep in touch. When you book a workshop I will send you a small questionnaire to fill in so that the tuition is tailored around you, your photographic ability and what you are seeking to learn.
Please note: due to other photographic commitments I only now do 1 workshop per month. If the dates above do not suit your schedule and no other parties have booked the above dates I will try and accommodate your available day(s) between a Friday to Sunday.

WORKSHOP REVIEWS
GLENCOE WORKSHOPS [MAX 4 PEOPLE]
‘‘Location - easy to reach from most parts. Provided a variety of aspects to photograph - landscape, wildlife,sunset/sunrise .Times - good to get the range of daylight from sunrise to sunset. Distance/terrain - I personally didn't have any problems with this fitness-wise and would have been happier going a bit further. Teaching Style - the best bit for me. I came away feeling that I had learnt things, which has not often happened at workshops I've been on. This was mostly because you devoted your time to us instead of taking your own images. A recent workshop I have been would have benefited from this. Group size - I liked that there were only four of us as I think it meant we all got a fair amount of your time. Cant think of anything else off the top of my head but may add to this if anything else occurs.
But in general terms, a very worthwhile day and one of, if not the best I have attended’’. F.Wallace
feels almost otherworldly at times with its towering mountains and deep gorges telling stories carved by glaciers over millennia. The rugged landscape is a dream for photographers, offering dramatic compositions at every turn. From the iconic Buachaille Etiv Mor to the serene beauty of Loch Achtriochtan, the variety of textures and colors is plentiful. One moment, you might capture the mist clinging to the peaks, the next, golden sunlight could break through, illuminating the landscape and transforming the scene entirely.
The weather in Glencoe is famously unpredictable, adding a layer of excitement and challenge to any shoot. Rain showers often roll in quickly, only to retreat and leave behind shimmering light and vibrant tones that make the scenery even more spectacular. This dynamic environment teaches photographers to adapt and embrace the ever-changing mood of the Highlands. No matter the weather, Glencoe always delivers, its raw, untamed beauty ensures that every frame tells a story worth remembering.

‘‘I had a great day in the Glencoe area on Gary’s Workshop and came away with a great deal more technical knowledge than when I started. Gary showed us some great locations that i wouldn’t otherwise have found. I really appreciated Gary’s patient approach to teaching and as a result, I definitely had a few lightbulb moments. Thanks very much for a fun and informative day’’. M.Forbes
‘‘I really enjoyed the workshop and got lots of good hints and tips especially the focus stacking which I had never considered although I had heard of it. Keep up the good work’’. A. Campbell
