Scotland Private Photo Tours
1-2-1 Photography Workshops
The internet has changed how we learn new skills – tutorials are available with the swipe of a screen. Photography is no exception. But a virtual experience can’t compare to good old-fashioned, hands-on learning. Out in the elements. Just you and your camera. That’s where the learning really begins.
Adventure & Photography, the perfect combination.
Are you looking to develop your landscape photography or are you seeking a photography adventure? For me, a camera is so much more than a tool to take a photo – it’s a passport to adventure. And a photographic memory with every shot you take. We all have different definitions of adventure but photography can transport you to one like no other. It combines the great outdoors, feeds your creativity, can be a source of meditation and escapism that gives you the chance to be alone in your thoughts. My adventure days help you create the stories you want to capture – and share the memories behind the image.
Who are 1-2-1 photography workshop days for?
1-2-1 workshops are designed for everyone, from the beginner to the semi- professional. You could be just starting out and looking to learn the basics or looking to expand your skills and fuel your passion to a new level of creativity. Maybe you simply want to discover new locations and compositions or chat about photography – it’s your adventure so you set the pace.
Tailoring the day around you
Photography is personal and your style is unique to you. That’s why your adventure day will be tailored around your interests, skills and requirements. Each session is relaxed and informal. Your day won’t revolve around me telling you what to photograph, I’ll share my knowledge while you call the shots.
When you book, you’ll receive a detailed questionnaire to complete. This will help me make sure you get the most from your day. We’ll then chat about locations, the best time of year, the equipment you own and more. We can even set aside some time during the session to go over editing or any specific element of photography you want to learn more about.

Advantages of a Private Photography Tour
Travel on Your Terms
Go Where You Want: Choose your dream locations across Scotland, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems.
When You Want: Select the dates and times that fit your schedule, whether you prefer the warm hues of summer or the cool tones of winter. Not a fan of early mornings? We’ll plan around it.
How You Want: Every aspect of your travel is tailored to your preferences, ensuring a journey that’s uniquely yours.
Flexible Scheduling
Set Your Own Dates: Pick the perfect timing for your shoot. Whether you love the soft light of winter or the vibrant colors of summer, the choice is yours. No need to rush for an early sunrise if it’s not your thing.
Personalised Itinerary
Craft Your Journey: The entire tour is designed around your interests. We’ll adjust plans on the fly if something catches your eye or if the weather shifts, ensuring you capture the best possible shots.
Unhurried Exploration
Move at Your Own Pace: Enjoy the freedom to linger and photograph at your leisure. There’s no pressure to move on or wait for others—this is your time.
Focused Learning
Learn What Matters to You: With my full attention, you can concentrate on mastering the techniques you want to learn, rather than covering ground you already know.
Capture Your Vision
Photograph Your Way: On a private tour, you’re in control. Focus on the scenes that inspire you and make the most of your photography experience in Scotland.
Unlimited Time at Every Stop
Group photography tours can be enjoyable and convenient, but they often come with restrictions. Since group tours are designed with the entire group in mind, the schedule can be tight. Even if we stumble upon a stunning scene, time constraints usually mean we must quickly move on to our next planned destination.
On a private photo tour, however, you have the freedom to choose. If you come across a captivating scene, you can decide to linger and capture the moment as long as you like, or continue with your planned itinerary. The choice is entirely yours.
No Limits, Just Your Perfect Tour
If group workshops haven't been your style, or if you have specific needs, my private tours are designed just for you. We’ll plan the ideal trip that aligns with:
Your budget
Your physical abilities (whether you're up for hiking a mountain or prefer relaxing by a loch)
Your skill level (focusing only on what you want to learn, without covering what you already know)
