Underwater + Landscape Photography Workshop October 18th – 24th, 2017 From the moment the fresh island air hits your face you’ll feel at home in the Cook Islands.

The Cook Islands are paradise. Join me for 7 days photographing these Pacific wonders with three nights on Rarotonga and three nights on the idyllic island of Aitutaki.

For those learning photography, it’s a place that will fuel your creativity. Your eyes will be opened to new perspectives and you’ll be practising camera techniques that otherwise take months to perfect. In late February I held my first Iceland photography workshop. Having visited in 2016 to scout locations, arrange accommodation and plan the itinerary, it was something I’d been excited about for months. Travelling with a group of keen photographers from Scotland and England, I was eager to share the scenery of Iceland, teach them all about landscape photography and to see their faces when locations like Jokulsarlon revealed themselves or when the aurora danced above our heads. While I had the week planned to a certain extent, when travelling to Iceland one thing you always need to be prepared for is the ever-changing weather. It...
