    Harris and Lewis, the largest islands in the Outer Hebrides, offer a photographer’s paradise with their dramatic landscapes. From rugged coastlines and towering cliffs to pristine beaches like Luskentyre, the islands’ diverse terrain provides endless photo opportunities. The ever-changing weather and light create dynamic scenes, perfect for capturing the shifting moods of nature.

    Harris is known for its stunning beaches, where white sands and turquoise waters contrast against jagged hills. The shifting light, often dramatic and moody, enhances landscape shots, particularly during sunrise or sunset, making it a favorite spot for photographers.

    Lewis offers a blend of history and beauty, with sites like the Callanish Standing Stones providing hauntingly beautiful subjects. The island’s lochs, peat bogs, and crofting villages add to its charm, offering a timeless backdrop for capturing both natural and cultural landscapes.

    Beyond the landscape, Harris and Lewis also showcase island life, with opportunities for documentary photography. The islanders’ lives, from fishermen to weavers, provide rich material for intimate portraits, all under the soft, diffused light that the Outer Hebrides are known for.

    The abandoned crofts on Harris and Lewis offer a haunting glimpse into the past, perfect for photographers seeking a sense of history and isolation. These old stone cottages, often scattered across the rugged landscapes, tell the story of a time when crofting was a vital part of island life. The crumbling walls, overgrown with moss and ivy, evoke a feeling of quiet desolation, set against the wild, windswept beauty of the islands.

    We can cover most of this majestic Island in our short stay here from the stunning white beaches of Harris, Abandoned crofts that scatter the whole Island to 5000 year old Callanish stone circle on Lewis. Sea arches to sea stacks, this place has it all.

“The host organised the whole tour taking pressure off the tour members. His knowledge of the locations including knowing the best time to arrive in order to get the best photographs based on the light was a huge advantage.”
