The Skye Photography Retreat

“Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.”David Alan Harvey

This isn’t a traditional photography workshop — it’s a creative retreat. We focus on developing your visual voice by teaching you how to see — not just how to shoot truly. You’ll learn the essentials of exposure, composition, light, and editing through experience and intuition, using whatever camera you have. Through guided shoots, personal feedback, and creative exploration, you’ll build confidence and clarity in your own photographic vision — leaving with more than just better photos, but a deeper connection to your craft.

Why Skye?

The Vikings called it The Misty Isle — and for good reason. Here, shifting veils of fog wrap mountains, lochs, and sea cliffs in a kind of quiet magic. Light doesn’t just illuminate Skye; it performs — dancing, vanishing, and reappearing in moments you can’t predict but will never forget.

This is a landscape that slows you down and wakes you up. The air tastes clean, the silence hums, and the ever-changing weather reminds you to stay open and present. It’s not just beautiful — it’s alive, and it draws you into that same aliveness.

Skye’s wild, elemental energy makes it the perfect backdrop for a holistic creative breathing space. It invites curiosity, reflection, and play — giving your mind and vision room to expand.

On The Misty Isle, you’re not just surrounded by beauty.
You’re breathing it in, letting it shape how you see, think, and create.

Step Out, Tune In

In our daily lives, creativity often takes a back seat — squeezed between deadlines, distractions, and responsibilities. This retreat offers something rare: the space to truly switch off from the noise and reconnect with your creative self. Skye, with its raw beauty and mythic energy, becomes more than just a backdrop — it's a catalyst. Here, we create space for presence, for seeing deeply, and for reshaping how we approach image-making. Through mindful exploration, shared experience, and moments of stillness, you'll discover not just what you photograph, but why. It's not just about better pictures — it’s about a clearer, more connected you.
