CAPTURE THE BEST LIGHT

Edinburgh with a Filmmaker

4.9(9 reviews)

A hands-on photo and video masterclass through Edinburgh's most cinematic corners, led by a working filmmaker.

This one is really a masterclass with a walk attached. A working filmmaker keeps the group down to ten people and spends it showing you how to get more out of whatever camera you turned up with, from a phone to a DSLR, whether you've never shot a thing or you make videos for a living. Where you go depends on the group's taste: Calton Hill, Princes Street Gardens, the Mound, and wherever the weather sends the group that day. Most people are surprised how much better they're shooting by the end.

FAQ

Do I need a professional camera?
If you have one, bring it! But even a smartphone works perfectly fine for this tour. Bring whatever you usually shoot with.
Is it suitable for children?
It is aimed at adults and keen teens who want to improve, so it is not ideal for young children.
What language is the tour in?
We run it in both English and Spanish.
What if the weather is bad?
The route changes with the light and the weather, so we make the most of whatever Edinburgh throws at us.
How big are the groups?
Small on purpose, up to ten people, so the attention is close to one-to-one.
