This Summer join Kevin on the adventure of a lifetime to a truly unique location, Fair Isle, Shetland for a trip dedicated to one of the world's most beloved seabirds, the Atlantic Puffin.

Fair Isle is a beautiful location packed with wild seascapes, rugged cliff tops, and, of course, seabirds. Measuring just 3 km wide and barely 5 km long, it is Britain's most remote inhabited island. It can be found marooned in the North Sea, midway between Shetland and Orkney. Due to its location, it is not the easiest place to get to. But once you set foot on the island, it truly is a puffin paradise, and with almost 24 hours of daylight during July, it is a photographer’s dream.

  • “What a wonderful trip we had with Kevin in the Shetlands. The group was lively and friendly and Kevin made sure that he spent time with each of us to help us be more creative. Loved every minute and wouldn’t hesitate to sign up for another workshop with him in the future”

    Tessa - Life On The Ledge

  • “ I booked this trip versus other similar trips as I’d been with Kevin before and knew of his passion for Puffins and The Shetlands from his book. It was also a part of the world I wanted to explore with someone who knew the lay of the land. The trip exceeded my expectations at every level in terms of the locations and the photo opportunities. I have managed to get some (for me) awesome shots under Kevin’s guidance. Kevin’s winning personality also made the trip a huge success in terms of how we all got on together. Just tops.”

    John - Life On The Ledge

  • "This is the second trip led by Kev that I have been on and just with the first, it did not disappoint. Seeing and photographing sea birds and puffins with Kev was an incredible experience, and his passion for photography, the scenery and wildlife were infectious. Kev assisted everyone with getting shots they really wanted, by offering advice on both positioning, equipment and settings - his knowledge and expertise helped everyone walk away with shots they were happy with. Photography aside, Kev’s easy going nature, generosity and kindness ensured everyone on the trip was well looked after, knew the plans and bonded as a group. Thank you so much for an awesome experience, I have left with photos I am proud of, happy memories that will last a lifetime, new friendships and a love for Shetland Reel Gin"

    Katie - Life On The Ledge

  • "Thanks Kevin for leading this amazing, fulfilling trip. It certainly was on the edge! To experience these islands has been a great eye opener. We were blessed with the weather that made it even more magical. The variety of birds have filled many memory cards with a delightful array for social media and friends. The most epic moment for me was the boat to tour from Lerwick to see the frenzy of Gannets feeding off Noss NR. It was crazy and didn’t know what to capture next!"
