This was my first workshop with Vieri and it was an eye-opening experience. I clearly remember the moment I took my first 4 minute long exposure under a capricious weather on the shores of Elgol and that feeling of accomplishment which came together with the result. I’ve applied the techniques learned from him many times since and they remain essential to the way I approach photography in the field. I wholeheartedly recommend Vieri’s workshops to anyone looking for a fun landscape photography adventure packed with subtle but essential takeaways!
I have been exploring and photographing Glencoe & Isle of Skye for over 15 years now, going back every year since my first visit in 2009, and their powerful, magical and ancestral-looking landscapes instantly felt like a home of the soul to me. Besides the iconic locations we all know, Glencoe & Isle of Skye offer an abundance of hidden, incredibly inspiring locations making them one of my all-time favourite destinations. From grand vistas to minimalism, from revisiting iconic locations to endlessly discovering new ones, Glencoe & Isle of Skye have it all. I immediately fell in love with the stark, austere and moody beauty of Glencoe & Isle of Skye and no matter how many times I have been there, every time I go back, I find new inspirations and shooting locations!
Designing your Glencoe & Isle of Skye Photography Workshop, leveraging on over a decade of experience leading more than 110 Workshops, 14 of which in Glencoe & Isle of Skye so far, I created a comprehensive Portfolio featuring a mix of landscapes and seascapes showcasing the beauty of Scotland in winter, when the weather complements the landscapes perfectly and snow on the peaks brings tridimensionality and depth to them.
During this Workshop, I am looking forward to putting at your service all the years dedicated to exploring and photographing Glencoe & Isle of Skye, together with my extensive tutoring expertise, for a truly unique, unforgettable and photographically inspiring learning experience!
The Glencoe and the Isle of Skye workshop with Vieri and Zeynep was a wonderful experience. It is a landscape photographers paradise, with locations, sunrises and sunsets that most can only dream of, and we got to spend several days photographing it all. I came away with a better understanding of landscape photography, and the use of filters in photography even though I had been using filters for a few years. Thanks to Vieri and Zeynep for their suggestions and tips which came in very handy. As many before me have said Vieri is the consummate professional in the field and is a great teacher!
