Torridon 3 Day Photography Workshop These photography workshops are held from Friday evening to whatever time we finish on Sunday. Set in the heart of the magnificent Torridon Mountains and at the foot of Beinn Eighe, we will be staying at the Kinlochewe Hotel which is ideally situated for exploring the wild and breathtaking scenery of the North Western Highlands of Scotland. With a wealth of unspoilt beauty, the area is famous for its craggy mountains, picturesque lochs and abundant wildlife. Many visitors find it hard to believe that such rugged wildness still exists. Indeed, Kinlochewe lies on the edge of the area recognized as Europe’s last great wilderness. You will be staying in single rooms with ensuite facilities and no single supplements.Torridon is a very popular place and you are advised to book at least 2 months in advance to guarantee a room.

I run Fotodayz Photography Holidays to show you how easy it is to learn the major techniques which you can carry forward in your photography with confidence.
Information is broken down during the day, repeated often and by the end of the day you can be quite surprised by how much you have expanded your technical skills as well feeling at ease with your camera.
No fuss, no techie speak, just simple clear explanations as many times as you need.
100% in the field, why waste that lovely countryside. It's also the total experience of being in and looking at the landscape in beautiful areas of Britain. At the end of the day you will have the skills to produce professional looking photographs to put on your wall but more importantly you will have had space to stand and stare.
The majority of the workshops concentrate on Yorkshire - Swaledale, Malham, Flamborough and the Wolds with a few dips outside the border to Anglesey, and Kinlochewe in Glencoe.
Groups consist of only 5 people so everyone gets lots of personal attention.
I love doing it and will keep you updated
take care
