About this tour
A three-hour private photography lesson in Edinburgh guided by a working photographer who tailors the session to your skill level. You'll move beyond the obvious landmarks to discover the city's best vantage points—back alleys, viewpoints, architectural details—while learning how to control your camera settings, compose compelling frames, and shoot effectively in low light. Expect to finish with a portfolio of images and concrete techniques you can apply anywhere.

What to expect
Your guide will meet you at an agreed location and begin by assessing what you want from the session—whether you're chasing portraits, architecture, or city lights. You'll then move through Edinburgh with purpose, stopping at locations chosen for their photographic potential and what they teach. Your photographer will demonstrate techniques in front of you, explain the 'why' behind each choice, and give you space to shoot while offering feedback. Expect to spend time on camera settings—understanding how shutter speed freezes or blurs movement, how aperture controls depth—and on seeing light and composition like a practised eye. The tour finishes with a brief review of your strongest shots and pointers for what to do next.
Good to know
Bring your own camera (DSLR, mirrorless, or advanced compact). A tripod is available to hire separately. The walk covers varied terrain at a leisurely pace, suitable for all fitness levels. Public transport links are nearby if you need to reach the start point.
