After selling out our spring 2024 Isle of Mull photography dates, we're delighted to announce the first instalment of "Autumn on Mull"!
Autumn-time on Mull is incredible; the bellowing of rutting stags fills the air, white-tailed eagles soaring high above the lochs, and otters fishing away with stunning autumnal backdrops. It's an incredible season to be out there photographing.
This photographic workshop will explore Mull’s wild beauty, creating close encounters (and create memorable photography) with otters, watching white-tailed eagles dive for their catch, and so much more. This is our home and we can't wait to share it with you.
Why This Workshop?
Your Photographic Experience
We’ll rise early in the mornings, keeping a close eye on tide times to maximise our chances for capturing those sought after images on this photographic workshop.
Guidance will be provided in the field, both on your fieldcraft, approaching wildlife and then of course, photographic tuition to get ‘those’ portfolio shots. Weather and tide depending, we’ll stay out as long as the wildlife does, having breakfast along the Lochs.
Your accommodation will be a cosy self-catering farmhouse cottage in the village of Dervaig, on Mull's northern coastline. With eagles aplenty (whited-tailed and golden!) and otters in the nearby Loch Cuin, wildlife is never far away. You also have the option of arranging your own accommodation, with a discounted rate.
Each evening we’ll gather around the wood-burning fire and we’ll be giving presentations on improving your fieldcraft, wildlife behaviours, photographic techniques, and post-processing.
You’ll need to be in Craignure by early afternoon on your arrival day. We’ll be waiting for you at the ferry terminal at midday, ready for an otter adventure!
We’ll then begin our search, getting you familiar with Mull’s geography, familiar signs to look out for, plus some introductory fieldcraft. After an afternoon snack, we’ll then head back to your accommodation. You’ll arrive in time to settle in and freshen up before a further afternoon mission. We’ll then return during dusk, grabbing an early night ready for our first full day.
Day 1
Your first full day on Mull! We’ll wake up early and have breakfast before heading out for our first morning drive. We'll spend the entire day in the field searching the stunning loch shores for otters, eagles, seals, deer, and other wildlife. Expect the unexpected. We'll break for a hot drink and our packed lunches before continuing our wildlife search in the afternoon. On one of the days, we’ll join Mull Charters to observe and capture photos of white-tailed eagles up close and personal. Please note that this trip is weather dependent and may be subject to change. We’ll always book it near the start of your trip, so if it's necessary to rearrange, we'll have more days available to squeeze it in!

Days 2-4
On our final morning we’ll slowly meander towards the ferry terminal in time for your late morning sailing back to Oban. Then it’s a big farewell (we’ll probably shed a tear) to Mull and we can guarantee you, you’ll already be planning your return!
There are frequent trains to Oban from Glasgow and Edinburgh international airports, removing the need for car hire. Oban’s ferry terminal is within walking distance of the train station, making your life much easier. If you’d like to extend your Scotland trip, we’d suggest picking up a car in Oban upon your return. We're happy to give advice and guidance on this.

Snacks and drinks
A truly unforgettable experience on the Isle of Mull. With expert guidance we were able to have some incredible sightings while also being respectful of the otters we were there to see. I would go back again in a heart beat.
"Unforgettable"
Our time on Mull was beyond description, there is no way I can ever express my gratitude! The trip truly exceeded all my expectations. George and Lara are two of the loveliest people ever and taught me so much.
"Magical Mull"
I couldn't have asked for a more incredible experience. Expert tuition from George meant I came away with a collection of images that I never dreamed I would have taken. Total game changer for my photography.
"Incredible Experience"
We discovered, we learned, we experienced, we laughed. It was a completely magical trip that I'll never, ever forget. Discovering the East African Savanna opened something that it’s hard to describe. Thank you.
