Great workshop- Uist island hopping. Clearly planned with care and attention. I really appreciated the time Dean took to speak with me prior to workshop to help review my kit and ensure I would get the very best from the time. I bought a few extra filters and used them all. Lots of opportunities to explore and photograph various stunning locations which I otherwise would not have found. Hospitality, and catering were excellent. A real home from home week. Dean and Sally make it look effortless.

I've just returned from my third photography holiday with Dean, this time in Torridon. The accommodation was superb (we were upgraded due to the original accommodation flooding the week before arrival) and the location on the Coulin Estate was breathtaking. Dean took us to a wide variety of locations - mountains, lochs, waterfalls, beach - initially pointing out the 'classic' shots at each. We were then given plenty of time to explore on our own and find our own compositions. Dean was always on hand to offer help and advice, if needed. Sally looked after us very well providing excellent meals and generous servings; I definitely didn't go hungry! I enjoyed the small group (just three of us plus Dean) and am already considering my next trip - Assynt and/or the Moray coast.

This photography tour fulfilled my dreams of the perfect workshop. Dean has a unique vision of photography that is exciting and inspiring. He was available to help each of us no matter what our skill level. He continuously monitored the weather to determine the best place to shoot that day, flexibly changing course as demanded. He is skilled at his craft and able to teach with patience and humor. His wife Sally is a warm and welcoming host, who provides delicious and nourishing meals. They are a great team and I can recommend them unreservedly to anyone considering attending one of Dean’s photography workshops.

Torridon trip was fantastic- beautiful landscape and photo opportunities (thanks Dean).  Great accommodation with excellent food (thanks Sally) and great company (it’s been a long time since I’ve laughed so much)

Just returned from a great trip to the Shetland Islands with Dean (and Sally).  It was a great trip of a small group going to some stunning locations that aren’t often photographed and all over social media.  Dean was flexible with his schedule and adapted to the interests of each of the group.  Westerwick was probably th highlight along with Hernaness overlooking Muckle Flugga The accommodation was very comfortable and Sally kept us very well fed and watered. I’m just a bit heavier coming back!

My best workshop ever, love the way Dean is composing his pictures, his choice of location, his teaching and helping. Also love the organisation staying in one house is very comfortable and eating together feels like home.

I recently attended a workshop on the Moray Coast of Aberdeenshire plus the Cairngorms, with Dean and fellow participants.  I was extremely pleased with how it all went, Dean is a talented photographer and was always on hand to answer questions and help out with camera position and settings.  The workshop was all inclusive and his lovely wife, Sally, was an amazing cook and provided us with excellent meals throughout the week.  The accommodation was first class and a comfortable place to return to after a long day out.  We enjoyed very relaxed evenings chatting about the day and spent a bit of time processing some of our images. The schedule was very well organised with plenty of time to spend at each location without being rushed. We visited some lovely coastal villages with great character, the famous Bow Fiddle Rock, Rattray Lighthouse, Dunnottar Castle, plus a couple of days in the beautiful Cairngorm mountains.  We were treated to a surprise trip on the Cairngorm Mountain Railway on our last day. Dean's workshops are above and beyond what I would expect from such a trip, and I would highly recommend anyone with an interest in landscape photography in Scotland and beyond, to book with him.

The small Islands tour offered the most spectacular photographic opportunities and my learning curve with Dean was fast and furious. He has an extraordinary talent for recognising what you need to learn and has a calm but determined energy. Being in the very rugged and relatively untouched landscape that this trip offered was quite magical and the group I think absorbed this magic and worked very well on a close level. The accommodation was perfect and fitting, and as a first (and not last) experience with Dean, I don"t think I could have been luckier.

I spent an excellent day recently in Torridon with Dean on a 1-2-1 workshop. The experience was worth every penny. He guided me to some great locations as well as gently prodding me to improve my technical and compositional skills. A most sociable and enjoyable day. Many thanks. Ian Seller

A fantastic landscape photography workshop in Loch Assynt. Stunning locations combined with Dean's vast local knowledge meant that we were always in the right place at the right time. I came away inspired more confident and with some of my best images to date. Together with the first class accomodations and Sally's catering ....highly recommended.👍👍👍
