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 a hotel pickup at 8am on the 8th of February. We then drive west to through stunning scenery with frequent stops for photography to spend the first 3 nights based in the legendary Sligichan Hotel on the Isle of Skye. This historic building lies at the heart of the Cuillin mountains, and is an ideal central base to explore this fascinating and dramatic island.
We then take a ferry across from Uig to Tarbert to stay for 3 nights at the Harris Hotel.
The expansive unspoiled beaches, rugged rocks, rolling hills and crystal azure waters are justly famous, and in addition to the most well-known spots, I will take you to some more secluded areas that I love dearly. The quality of Lewis and Harris are quite different, and we prefer to split the time, rather than just being based on Harris like so many other tours. We will move up to be based in a beautiful hotel on the outskirts of Stornoway to explore the coast of Lewis extensively.
The final day we will take the ferry back to the mainland and I will drop you in Inverness.
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 2pm on the 17th February and I can drop you either at the airport, or at a hotel in Inverness.
