5-Day Photographic Workshop
Introduction
The small island of Eigg contains perhaps one of the most dramatic and photogenic beaches in Scotland: the Bay of Laig & the Singing Sands. With abundant geological features on each beach and the isle of Rum as a perfect backdrop, this location is a dream for any landscape photographer.
We spend all our time on two beaches, which are in walking distance from our accommodation. One is sandy while the other is rocky. To get the most out of this workshop it is best if you are comfortable working on rocky beaches. This trip is suitable for anyone who has regular fitnessand can walk with their camera bag and tripod for up to 30 minutes.
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.
