Workshop Overview and General Information

Expressive Photography aims to run trips that are unique and focussed on one thing; building meaningful relationships with a wonderful landscape and making images that reflect each person’s individual perspectives and emotional spectrum.

The trip starts in Inverness with one arrival night. The next morning we drive west to Ullapool to catch the early ferry to The Isle of Lewis, where we will stay in Stornoway for 3 nights. We then transfer down to the Isle of Harris for a further 3 nights to explore the  massive unspoiled beaches, rugged rocks, rolling hills and crystal azure waters. The quality of Lewis and Harris are quite different, and we prefer to split the time equally, rather than just being based on Harris like so many other tours.

We will then head back to the mainland for a further 2 nights in the Cairngorms National Park area, surrounded by lochs, rivers, mountains and forests, the colour palette of late autumn being just incredible. The forests will be stunning in colour, and we may even get some early snow on the higher hills. We will emerge ourselves in a world of creative insight.

You’ll be staying in some ideally situated hotels and transported in a roomy and comfortable 9 seater van. Please note the price excludes lunch and evening meals. In our experience there is a wide disparity in what participants consume on a daily basis. Our pricing policy allows each of you to have what you want without overpaying.

Taxi’s are available into Inverness from the airport at very reasonable cost, and on the final day I can either drop you in town, or at the airport. The trip will end at 3pm on the 15th November.
