Getting There

This workshop will begin and end in Inverness, Scotland (INV). To fly to Inverness, you'll most likely need to connect through London or Amsterdam. We'll meet for introductions and dinner at the Ness Walk Hotel at 6:00pm on Sunday, March 22nd. You can plan to leave at any time on or after Monday, March 30th.

*Upon arrival, you can take a 15 minute taxi ride to the hotel.

*As with all of our international trips, we recommend arriving a day early to avoid any travel/weather delays.

Your photographic guides

Analog photographers Marcus McAdam and Michael Turek will be your workshop leaders and will be with you every step of the way as you discover (or re-discover!) the magical world of analog photography.  

Marcus McAdam is one of the UK’s leading landscape and travel photographers. He lives on the Isle of Skye and leads photography workshops across Scotland as well as many destinations around the world. Marcus likes to shoot film and digital, but the former gets him most enthusiastic. He can often be seen standing behind some very large or vintage cameras. He now has more film cameras than he likes to admit, but denies he is a collector. Marcus loves developing and printing his work in the traditional manner and being a bit of a purist and perfectionist, he strives to capture the landscape as it naturally appears.

Michael Turek is an award-winning British-American fine art photographer who focuses on documentary assignments using analog cameras for clients including The Financial Times, The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Paris Review. He has worked extensively in challenging environments, most recently in Iraq and Tajikistan. His book, CONTRAIL, published by Roman Nvmerals in 2021, is included in the MoMA Archives and Library. His first photographic monograph, SIBERIA was published by Damiani in 2020 — the culmination of three years’ work in Russia. He is currently working on two long-term documentary projects in East Africa and northern England.

Itinerary

Sunday, March 22: Meetup and Welcome Dinner in Inverness

This workshop will begin at 6:00pm at the Ness Walk Hotel in Inverness, Scotland (INV). We'll meet for introductions in the lobby/bar area and then head to dinner. *It's about a 15 minute taxi ride from the airport to the hotel.

March 24-27: Explore Isle of Lewis



On most days, we'll meet for breakfast at 8:00am and aim to head out to shoot at 9:30am. Assuming the weather is suitable, we will stay out all day, with a packed lunch (supplied by the lodge). We will shoot a variety of subjects, from sand dunes, beaches, standing stones, sea stacks, abandoned houses, boats, and lots of other subjects which tell stories about the Hebrides. We will return to the lodge after sunset (around 6:00pm) for dinner at 7:00pm. After dinner we can develop film and/or relax. The goal is to shoot and develop several rolls of film so that we have enough "favorites" to choose from when it's time to make silver gelatin prints back in Inverness!



March 28-29: Back to Inverness

After breakfast on the 28th, we will drive to Stornoway to get the ferry back to Ullapool. Depending on the ferry time, we may stop along the way to use up any spare film. We then drive on to Inverness where we check into the Ness Walk Hotel, where we'll stay for the following two nights. We'll have dinner this evening either in town or at the hotel.

March 29: Printing Day and Farewell Dinner

This morning, after we've enjoyed breakfast, we will head to the Inverness Community Darkroom to develop any remaining exposed film and to make some traditional silver gelatin prints of your favorite photos from the week. A professional printer will be on hand to guide everyone through the process. Tonight will be our farewell dinner either in town or at the hotel.

Today, we'll wake for breakfast and say our farewells. You can take a short taxi from our hotel to Inverness Airport or perhaps stay a few more days to explore Scotland. 

Payment

A $2495 deposit, and the $700 single room supplement should you choose it, is due at the time of registration. The balance will be due on December 22, 2025.
