Just added quite a few photos to various galleries, trimmed down the “Latest Photos” to some of the more recent images and added a new “Workshops” gallery.
The planned trip to Orkney to work with Margaret Soraya looks to have been cancelled which is a huge disappointment, she is still running the workshop but slow sales means that she is going to take it as a solo trip rather than with help as there just isn’t the margin in it to pay me too. Not to worry though as I am debating putting my own workshop together in Orkney for Spring 2024!
Which brings me onto workshops and tuition in general.
My thoughts at the moment are to launch a 1:1/private group service for 2023 whilst I look to put some more ideas together. I don’t want to take people to the same old places that everyone else uses - I want to do something a little more unique and with my own slant on it. My background is in archaeology originally and I want to weave some of this into my offerings - I love that human and ancient element in the landscape, I love looking for myths, legend and a storied landscape to work in… and I think that would be of interest to a wider audience. We are hoping to have our own accommodation available at some stage, perhaps next year, which would allow us to operate from Drumnadrochit as a base and cover some truly beautiful areas of Scotland which are somewhat less visited by the mainstream photography workshops and tours (although many of these areas are still within striking distance - the Skye Bridge is only an hour away, Torridon and Ullapool area about the same).
Meanwhile I also plan to build the commercial photography business working both in the property and holiday markets as I am now, but perhaps branching more into the world of Corporate Photography too. It is something I can do, and as with everything I bring my own style to it!
