Learn Photography amid the striking landscapes of Snowdonia and Anglesey
Rugged and majestic mountain scenery
Snowdonia national park is known for its dramatic and somewhat brooding mountainous scenery. It is also home to historic castles, waterfalls and gritty industrial landscapes, all of which combine to provide great diversity for landscape photography.
One of the main draws of this area has to be the dramatic Ogwen Valley with Tryfan and the wonderfully named Devil’s Kitchen forming a magnificent backdrop to the glacial lake; Llyn Idwal.
All around we’ll find beautiful lake and mountain views to photograph.
Photograph the historic island of anglesey
Anglesey is renowned when it comes to spectacular coastline with much of it a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, With sheer cliffs and rocky shorelines, the scenery is inspirational , offering some fabulous locations for photography.
We’ll spend a full day here, visiting some iconic locations such as Llanddwyn Island, home to one of the most photographed lighthouses in Wales; Twr Mawr, as well as the dramatically situated South Stack lighthouse.
Spectacular Locations
Based in Llanberis, we will have a wealth of photographic opportunities on our doorstep with the nearby valleys of Gwynant, Ogwen, Llanberis and Nant Ffrancon all easily accessible.
We’ll be capturing these locations when the light is at its best and a number of sunrise and sunset shoots will also be included.
This photography workshop offers numerous opportunities to capture some of the most beautiful scenery that North Wales has to offer. Come and join us and experience for yourself the many captivating faces of Snowdonia as well as the beautiful coastline of Anglesey.
