SEPTEMBER 2025 UPDATE:
Skomer Island has recently closed to commercial tour groups in order to make more availability for individuals. It is a great shame, but also completely understandable. I am currently looking into alternative locations for running a puffin photography trip, so please do drop me a message if you are interested in finding out more once my new trips are launched. Puffins have so much character, and it's an experience I have loved sharing over the past 5 years, so I am determined to find something equally incredible!
SKOMER TRIP INFORMATION:
This Skomer Island photography workshop offers the opportunity to learn wildlife photography in one of the UK’s most unique destinations. The obvious lure is the vast colony of Atlantic Puffins, which is the largest in southern Britain. Staying overnight allows for the opportunity to photograph the puffins at sunrise and sunset, when the light is most dramatic. All the day visitors leave by late afternoon, after which it is just the 20 or so people staying that remain on the island. What does that mean? Mostly, the only company you will have while photographing the puffins, is the wealth of other seabirds and wildlife the call Skomer Island home; Guillemots, Razorbills, Cormorants, Oystercatchers, Gulls, Rabbits and seals to name but a few!
This Puffin & wildlife photography workshop is suitable for anyone from complete beginners to advanced photographers. With plenty of time on the island, you will always receive plenty of 1-to-1 instruction. This trip is all about getting out there and taking LOTS of photos, practising and experimenting with newly learned techniques, tips and tricks in front of exciting subjects. By the end of the trip, you will feel confident about both technical and creative aspects of wildlife photography. You will further your photographic eye, develop a proactive photography mindset, and understand how to make the most of the available light allowing you to capture eye-catching and emotive photographs when photographing in the future. You will come away with stunning images that you can be proud of!
