Photography Workshop in Assynt, Scotland – A Breathtaking Adventure Awaits!
Join me for an unforgettable Assynt landscape photography workshop, a week-long Scotland photography tour in the breathtaking and rugged Assynt region of the North West Highlands. This immersive landscape photography workshop will take you to some of the most iconic and remote locations in the Scottish Highlands, where we'll explore dramatic coastlines, majestic mountain vistas, and hidden gems. Situated in a peaceful location, far from the hustle and bustle, this is one of the premier landscape photography workshops in the UK.
At this time of year, the famous NC500 route is quieter, with minimal tourist traffic, allowing us to experience the serenity of these incredible locations without interruption. Plus, with the midges long gone, we'll have the perfect opportunity to focus on capturing the stunning natural beauty of the Highlands. As a bonus, this region offers one of the best chances in the UK to witness the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) at their peak, weather and solar activity permitting.
Photography Opportunities
This outdoor photography workshop is designed to immerse you in a wide variety of Scotland’s traditional landscapes, making it ideal for anyone passionate about landscape photography tours. Highlights include:
Whether you're a seasoned photographer or new to landscape photography workshops, this experience offers something for everyone. It's also an excellent opportunity for participants looking to explore UK photography workshops or landscape photo workshops.
Planned Locations

Clachtol split rock
Loch Stack
Faraid Head Stacks
Durness
Remote beaches (far too many to list here)

And many more hidden gems along the way.
Transport
All transport is included. You’ll travel in comfort in my 6-seater van throughout the workshop, there are charging ports for camera and drone batteries for you to use.
Free Pick-up and drop-off at Inverness are available for added convenience, with the option to get a lift with me from Norwich.
Accommodation and Food
We’ll stay in a comfortable and conveniently located lochside house with private rooms. The accommodation is ideally positioned near stunning beaches, dramatic cliffs, and picturesque mountain vistas, providing the perfect base for our workshop.
On the 1st and last evening we will have a pub meal together, then each day, we’ll prepare meals together, including packed lunches for our outings.

Five days, just four guests, one van, and a corner of North Wales at its wildest, most atmospheric time of year.
At a glance:
Dates: 23rd to 27th November 2026 (five days)
Price: £675 per person (£275 deposit to secure your place)
Group size: just 4
Level: some experience needed, comfortable shooting in manual
Getting there: pick-up from Norwich available, or meet at mine and park up
This is a residential landscape photography workshop through Snowdonia and Anglesey in late November, the season when the summer crowds have thinned, the light turns moody and cinematic, and the Welsh coast starts throwing everything it's got at you. Wave-battered sea stacks, mist rolling off the mountains, lighthouses standing firm against the weather. It's the kind of drama you simply don't get on a calm summer's evening.
And you won't be chasing it alone. With a group of just four, I'll be right beside you at every location, helping you read the light, find your composition and nail your settings, while I take care of everything else: the driving, the accommodation, the timings, the where and the when. You just bring your camera and your curiosity.
Just 4 places, and here's why
I keep these trips deliberately small. Four guests means everyone gets proper, personal attention, nobody's jostling for space at the good spots, and, practically, you all fit in my van, so I can chauffeur you from location to location for the entire workshop. The van's kitted out too: there's 240V mains power on board, so if your batteries start running low through the day you can top them straight back up, which is a real lifesaver for drone batteries especially, and I've got a camping stove in the back for tea and coffee, so there's always a hot brew on the go between shoots. No convoy, no getting lost, no white-knuckle drives down unfamiliar lanes at 5 am. You turn up, hop in, and shoot.
Who this trip is for
This one's a step up from my day workshops. It's for photographers who've got the basics under their belt, a working understanding of the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed and ISO) and how to shoot in manual. If you're comfortable there, you're ready. Everything beyond that- composition, filters, long exposures, reading the conditions, editing back at base- is exactly what we'll build on together over the five days.
(Brand new to your camera? My one-day workshops are the better place to start; drop me a line, and I'll point you the right way.)
Where we'll shoot
Snowdonia and Anglesey are ridiculously good for landscape photography: dramatic mountains, sweeping valleys, abandoned slate quarries, rugged coastline, lighthouses and sea stacks, all within reach. Over the five days we'll work a mix of mountain and coastal locations. Likely spots include South Stack Lighthouse, the Trefor Sea Stacks and some of the classic Snowdonia viewpoints. Snowdonia still draws its share of hill walkers year-round, but late November is noticeably quieter than peak season, so we'll usually have more room to work, calmer conditions along the coast, and a more relaxed experience all round.
The exact locations flex with the conditions. My job is to put you in the best spot for the best light on the day, not to stick rigidly to a plan when something better is happening over the next ridge.
A typical day
Monday: Arrive and check in, head out for a sunset shoot, then dinner together.
Tuesday to Thursday: Up for sunrise, shooting the best locations through the day, back for breakfast or a stop en route, then out again through to sunset, with a relaxed evening meal option back at the accommodation. There's also the chance to sit down with a brew and go through your photos on the sofa if you fancy it. Nothing formal, just a relaxed bit of editing time if you'd like some pointers.
Friday: One last sunrise shoot, then check out and head home.
Sunrise to sunset, we'll chase the light, but at a friendly, unhurried pace, with plenty of time to actually enjoy where you are.
Where you'll stay
You'll have your own private room in a comfortable private house, ideally located to keep driving distances short from sunrise to sunset rather than relying on a hotel miles from the locations. A light breakfast is provided each morning: cereal, toast and jam, orange juice, tea and coffee, to set you up before a sunrise start. Lunches and dinners aren't included, which keeps the price down and the days flexible. Most evenings we'll have the option to eat back at base to keep things relaxed and costs sensible, or head out if the group fancies it. We decide as we go.
Sharing? Two of you travelling together can book straight in using the double room option at checkout, no need to email.
Getting there, the easy bit
Coming from Norfolk?
You've got two easy options: meet at mine and leave your car (there's plenty of free parking on the road), or I'll pick you up in Norwich. Either way, you're then chauffeured there, back, and throughout the entire workshop in my van, which is fully insured and breakdown-covered for carrying you and the group. It genuinely takes the stress out of the whole thing: no long solo drive to somewhere unfamiliar, no navigating dark lanes before dawn. Prefer to make your own way and meet us there? That's absolutely fine too.
What's included
Accommodation with your own private room
Light breakfast each morning
All transport throughout the workshop
Transport from Norwich, there and back, if you'd like it
Loan of landscape filters and a tripod if you need them
Hands-on, personal photography tuition from start to finish
What's not included
Lunches, dinners, meals out, snacks and drinks; travel to the start location if you're not travelling with me; and your own personal, travel and camera-equipment insurance, plus breakdown cover for your own vehicle if you choose to drive yourself.
A bit about me
I'm a full-time landscape photographer based in Norfolk, with a BA and a Master's degree in photography, and I've been running workshops since 2013. I'm a proud ambassador for five photography brands, I've won and been shortlisted for several awards, and my images have featured in publications and exhibitions. But honestly, what people tend to remember from these trips isn't the CV; it's the relaxed, no-pressure, no-egos atmosphere, and coming home with photographs they're genuinely proud of.
What about the weather?
Let's be honest, it's North Wales in November, and the weather will play its part. That's the point. Wild waves, dramatic skies and fast-changing, atmospheric conditions are exactly what make these images special, and we'll get out and make the most of them. Wales is a big place, so there's always a Plan B and a Plan C. If one spot isn't working, we move to where it is. The only time we'll change tack completely is a genuine severe weather warning, where safety always comes first, with dynamic risk assessments throughout.
Fitness & what to expect
You'll want to be generally fit; the furthest walk from the van is around 40 minutes, with some uphill, though always at a slow, steady pace. Some locations involve uneven paths, coastal terrain and working near cliffs or exposed spots, so sturdy footwear and proper all-weather clothing are essential.
Dates, price & booking
Dates: 23rd to 27th November 2026 (five days)
Price: £675 per person
Deposit: £275 to secure your place
Group size: just 4
Secure your spot with your £275 deposit, payable by BACS (preferred, as it keeps transaction fees down; just send me an email) or through the website checkout. The balance is due 28 days before we set off. Two of you sharing? Just choose the double room option when you book.
Places on these small-group trips go quickly, so if wild, late-November North Wales is calling, I'd love to have you along. Any questions about the trip, booking, kit or travel, email me at info@dibsphotography.com, always happy to help.
What to bring
DSLR or mirrorless camera, spare batteries and memory cards, a range of lenses (wide, mid and zoom), a sturdy tripod, lens cleaning kit, camera bag, warm waterproof clothing, sturdy footwear, umbrella, torch and a bath towel. I've got spare landscape filters you're welcome to borrow, and I'm happy to advise if you're thinking of buying your own.
Five days, just four guests, one van, and the wild Atlantic coast where North Devon meets North Cornwall in the depths of winter.
At a glance:
Dates: 1st to 5th February 2027 (five days)
Price: £775 per person (£300 deposit to secure your place)
Group size: just 4
Level: some experience needed, comfortable shooting in manual
Getting there: pick-up from Norwich available, or meet at mine and park up
This is a residential landscape photography workshop exploring one of the UK's most dramatic stretches of coastline, rugged cliffs, sea stacks, folded rock formations and wild, wave-battered beaches, right where North Devon rolls into North Cornwall. Based around Bude, we're perfectly placed to work both sides of the border across the five days.
February on the Atlantic coast means big skies, low winter light and properly powerful seas. It's not a gentle stroll on a summer's evening; it's the real thing, and that's exactly what makes the photographs special.
Just 4 places, and here's why
I keep these trips deliberately small. Four guests means everyone gets proper, personal attention, nobody's jostling for space at the good spots, and, practically, you all fit in my van, so I can chauffeur you from location to location for the entire workshop.

(Brand new to your camera? My one-day workshops are the better place to start; drop me a line, and I'll point you the right way.)
Where we'll shoot
This coastline offers some of the most dramatic seascape photography in the country. Expect rugged cliffs, wave-worn rock formations, sea stacks, stormy beaches, lighthouses and huge Atlantic skies. Over the five days we'll explore a mix of well-known and quieter spots, likely locations include Hartland Quay, Bedruthan Steps, Trevose Head Lighthouse, Widemouth Bay, Sandymouth Bay, Duckpool, Crackington Haven and Boscastle, depending on conditions.
February is a genuinely fantastic time for coastal photography: low winter light, dramatic weather, far fewer people around, and the real chance of powerful, atmospheric seas. As always, exact locations are chosen around the weather, tides, wind direction and safety, not a fixed plan.
A typical day
Monday: Arrive and check in, head out for a sunset shoot, then a dinner outing together.
Tuesday to Thursday: Up for sunrise, shooting through the day, back for breakfast or a stop en route depending on conditions, then out again through to sunset. Evenings are spent back at the accommodation, with the chance for a relaxed bit of editing if you fancy it, nothing formal, just going through your shots with a brew in hand.
Friday: One last sunrise shoot, then check out and head home.
Sunrise to sunset, we'll chase the light, but at a friendly, unhurried pace, with plenty of time to actually take it all in.
Where you'll stay
You'll have your own private room in well-located accommodation, chosen to give us good access to both the North Devon and North Cornwall coastlines, so we're never far from the next shoot. A light breakfast is provided each morning: cereal, toast, orange juice, tea and coffee, to set you up before a sunrise start. Lunches and dinners aren't included, which keeps the price down and the days flexible. Most evenings we'll eat back at the accommodation to keep things relaxed and costs sensible, or head out if the group fancies it, we decide as we go.
Sharing? Two of you travelling together can book straight in using the Twin room option at checkout, no need to email.
Getting there, the easy bit
Coming from Norfolk? You've got two easy options: meet at mine and leave your car, or I'll arrange transport from Norwich to the accommodation and back. Either way, during the main workshop days, Tuesday to Thursday, you're chauffeured between locations in my van, with fuel included, so there's no need to drive yourself unless you'd rather. It genuinely takes the stress out of the whole thing: no long solo drive to somewhere unfamiliar, no navigating dark coastal lanes before dawn. Prefer to make your own way and meet us there? That's absolutely fine too, and you're still welcome to travel with the group throughout the workshop days.

Six days, just four guests, one van, and the beautiful Moray Coast with the Cairngorms on our doorstep.

Level: some experience needed, comfortable shooting in manual
Getting there: pick-up from Norwich available, or meet at mine and park up
This is a residential landscape photography workshop through one of Scotland's most wonderfully varied corners. Rugged coastline, harbours, sea stacks and lighthouses along the Moray Coast, with the option to head inland to the Cairngorms, Dava Moor and the open moorland beyond. Six days gives us proper time to build a genuinely varied set of images: coastal light one day, mountains and moorland the next.
March in Scotland means quiet locations as not even the midges are out, low light and real atmosphere, with a good chance of dramatic, changeable conditions and even snow on the higher ground.
Just 4 places, and here's why
I keep these trips deliberately small. Four guests means everyone gets proper, personal attention, nobody's jostling for space at the good spots, and, practically, you all fit in my van, so I can chauffeur you from location to location for the entire workshop.

Where we'll shoot
The Moray Coast offers a brilliant mix of seascape, landscape and characterful coastal locations, beaches, harbours, cliffs, sea stacks, lighthouses and smaller coastal details. Depending on the weather and how the week's shaping up, we may also head inland towards the Cairngorms and Dava Moor, opening things up to moorland, woodland, rivers and big mountain backdrops. One day will likely see us push further east along the coast towards Rattray Head Lighthouse, with the chance to take in one of the castles along the North Aberdeenshire coastline too, adding a different flavour again to the mix. It's this variety, coast, castle, mountain and moor, that makes the trip so rewarding.
March is a genuinely brilliant time for this part of Scotland, quieter locations, low light, changeable conditions and plenty of atmosphere. As always, exact locations are chosen around the weather, light, wind direction and road conditions, not a fixed plan.
A typical day
Monday: Meet and greet early afternoon, check in, head out for a sunset shoot, then a dinner outing or food stop depending on timing.
Tuesday to Friday: Up for sunrise, shooting through the day, back for breakfast or a stop en route depending on conditions, then out again through to sunset, likely including a day pushing further east towards Rattray Head and the Aberdeenshire coast.

A long weekend on the Norfolk coast, just 3 guests, one van, and some of the county's most striking and ever-changing scenery.
At a glance:
Dates: 18th to 20th September 2026 (Friday to Sunday)
Price: £575 per person (£100 deposit to secure your place)
Group size: just 3
Level: some experience needed, comfortable shooting in manual
Getting there: collection from Norwich train station or Norwich Airport available
This is a residential photography weekend exploring the Norfolk coast at its most characterful, traditional seaside villages, wide sandy beaches and the dramatic, eroding coastline at Happisburgh, one of the most photographed and talked-about stretches of coast in the country. From sweeping dunes to Norfolk's much-loved piers, there's a genuinely rich mix of scenes packed into just a few days.
Just 3 places, and here's why
I keep this trip deliberately small. Three guests means everyone gets proper, personal attention, nobody's jostling for space at the good spots, and, practically, you all fit comfortably in my van, so I can chauffeur the group from location to location for the weekend. The van's kitted out too; there's 240V mains power on board, so if your batteries start running low you can top them straight back up, which is a real lifesaver for drone batteries especially, and I've got a camping stove in the back for tea and coffee, so there's always a hot brew on the go between shoots.

(Brand new to your camera? My one-day workshops are the better place to start; drop me a line, and I'll point you the right way.)
Where we'll shoot
Norfolk's coastline is a brilliant mix of the dramatic and the picturesque. We'll spend time at Happisburgh, where the North Sea has been steadily reshaping the coast and created some genuinely striking, atmospheric scenes, alongside classic sandy beaches, rolling dunes and one of Norfolk's charming piers. Over the weekend we'll take in two main locations along with our sunrise and sunset sessions, giving you a properly varied set of images from just a few days on your doorstep.
A typical day
Friday: Meet mid-afternoon at our first location, a sunset shoot to start things off, then check in at the accommodation followed by a dinner outing.
Saturday: Up for a sunrise shoot, back to the accommodation for breakfast, then a full day of photography through to sunset, followed by a dinner outing.
Sunday: One last sunrise shoot, breakfast back at the accommodation, check out, then a second location shoot before heading home mid-afternoon.
A friendly, unhurried pace throughout, with plenty of time to actually enjoy where you are.
Where you'll stay
You'll have your own private room in well-located accommodation, right in the heart of the area we're shooting. A light breakfast is provided each morning: cereal, toast, orange juice, tea and coffee, to set you up before a sunrise start. Lunches, dinners and snacks aren't included, which keeps the price down and the days flexible; we'll head out for dinner together on the Friday and Saturday evenings.
Getting there, the easy bit
This one's right on the doorstep if you're local, so if you're driving yourself, you'll simply meet us at our first location on the Friday afternoon. Coming from further afield? I'm based in Norwich and happy to arrange collection from Norwich train station or Norwich Airport; just let me know your travel details and we'll sort the timing between us.
What's included
Accommodation with your own private room
Light breakfast each morning
Transport during the workshop itself
Collection from Norwich train station or Norwich Airport, if you need it
Loan of landscape filters and a tripod if you need them
Hands-on, personal photography tuition from start to finish
What's not included
Lunches, dinners, snacks and alcoholic drinks; travel to Norwich if you're making your own way; and your own camera equipment and personal travel insurance.

I'm a proud ambassador for five photography brands, I've won and been shortlisted for several awards, and my images have featured in publications and exhibitions. But honestly, what people tend to remember from these trips isn't the CV; it's the relaxed, no-pressure, no-egos atmosphere, and coming home with photographs they're genuinely proud of.
What about the weather?
Norfolk's coast can throw a real mix of conditions at us, and we'll head out and make the most of whatever we get. Some of our locations involve working on unpaved paths and near cliff edges, particularly at Happisburgh, so suitable footwear and all-weather clothing are essential. Safety always comes first, with dynamic risk assessments carried out throughout the weekend.
Fitness & what to expect
You'll want to be generally fit; the furthest walk from the van is around 40 minutes.
