We will explore the concepts of creative development, visual story telling, creating narrative in our work, understanding our own personal connections to the landscape and furthering our photography to capture images that are memorable and most notably our own.
We will be staying in a beautiful, luxury house close to the shores of a bay at the remote western end of the Ardnamurchan peninsula close to Sanna, Portuairk, Kilchoan, Swordle and Ockle. We'll also have access to land belonging to a friend and our old base with 1,800 acres! of it's own land encompassing three lochs, sea cliffs, moors, a mountain, white sandy beaches and notably the most westerly mainland point in the UK at Corrachadh Mor. We will not be short of inspiration on our own land let alone the other areas on this stunning peninsula. This is a much less photographed area so the opportunity to explore your own unique take will be front and centre of our work.
This is an end to end masterclass; each day we will work a single location maybe two at the very most and will return to a fabulously home cooked meal of quality produce selected for us. We will spend time discussing and exploring our work as a group each day, sharing our ideas for our developing body of work / project, we will hold critique sessions where we will develop our experience and knowledge in talking about photographs and collaboratively providing reflections for development across the week. We will also transition the pictures to print both as contact sheets for sequencing sessions as our projects develop and crafting the final print as the week progresses. Essentially the end to end workshop will place you as the photographer at the heart of your individual interpretation of this magical place, we will work together to develop your connection to the landscape, seascapes and spirit of Ardnamurchan as you piece together your visual story of the week in your own vision.
