5-Day Photographic Workshop
Date: March 2 - 7, 2026
Introduction
In the far north west lies some of the most distinctive mountains of Scotland. Stac Pollaidh, Suilven, Canisp and Cul Mor dominate the landscape, yet there is an abundance of wide open space. This is real highland countryside with some dramatic coastal scenery to boot.
Informal small group setting
Bruce likes to run his photography-workshops in a friendly, intimate group setting. This trip has a maximum group size of six.
Unlike a lot of workshops with up to 12 or 16 people on them, running with a smaller number allows everyone to have space in which to photograph. It also means more quality time for Bruce with each participant.
Please note: this is a workshop, not a tour. Its main aim is to teach you composition and visual awareness principles over a 5-day period. Although we are in a beautiful setting with dramatic scenery, the main reason for being here is to learn. As such each day is split into sunrise shoot / middle of the day critique sessions and an evening shoot. The critique sessions are particularly valuable to most participants as I'm able to give feedback on compositional problems and how to move forward with your work.

Most locations are close to the vehicle. But you should be able to walk for up to 20 minutes up & down slopes and over uneven and boggy ground with your tripod and backpack.

Planning your vacation time
Inverness airport is small, with just a few flights a day. I would recommend that you may need to add an additional nights stay at the start and end of the trip in Inverness in order to get a connection that works. please consider this when booking this trip as it may extend your required vacation time.
