Brittany Photography Workshops & Tours

Photograph the rugged coastline, lighthouses and beaches of Northwest France

Wild and Rugged northwest France

Photograph the stunning coast of Brittany

Brittany, which lies in the northwest corner of France, is absolutely packed with photographic delights. Brittany’s coastline is characterised by rugged cliffs, rocky promontories, and wild, untamed beauty. As an illustration of how tumultuous the sea is, the coastline is dotted with a variety of interesting-looking lighthouses. A little further south lies some interesting wooden fishing huts on stilts in the sea.

I’ve just come back from one of Rodney’s photo workshops, this time in Brittany. It was my fifth with him – and I’ve already got a couple more booked! Every time I return buzzing with enthusiasm, full of new ideas and knowledge and SD cards packed with images. I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rodney’s workshops to any photographer, whatever your level. You’ll always come away with fresh insights, practical tips and the chance to shoot in some brilliant locations that he carefully selects. His attention to detail and endless patience make all the difference and he’s always on hand with encouragement and guidance to help you get the very best shot.

I highly recommend Rodney's photography workshops. He is attentive to everyone and tailors his advice to whatever level each member is at. No question is too easy or difficult for him and he is unfailingly pleasant and cheerful. He knows all the best spots and can adapt the itinerary to the weather and the needs of his clients with ease. His new 8 seater van makes the trip very relaxing and enjoyable too. Most important he has the ability to find the best shots wherever you go and is very generous with sharing his knowledge and skills.

** Updated** Updating my review after 3 workshops over the past year with Rodney. The experience just gets better. He is always on hand to share his knowledge, gets you to the best places at the right times and creates the atmosphere for a great few days with fellow photographers. Highly recommend you book something rather than travel on your own or in a small group. Now that I’m back home, I can look back on a most enjoyable, interesting and at times photographically challenging workshop in Tuscany. First and foremost, Rodney is personable, knowledgeable and a wonderful guide. I can’t begin to say how much I have learned from him in such a short period of time. He brings a combination of deep photography knowledge and a friendly personality to one individual. This was my first workshop, and it was such a benefit to have Rodney on hand to regularly check if all was ok and to provide some help on composition or technical details. Tuscany was incredible and the sites that Rodney choose to take us to were breathtakingly beautiful. Rodney had things perfectly timed and organised to take us to the best place at the right times (using the best of the weather to select the itinerary). I would recommend anyone visit Tuscany with Rodney. It’s a must on your bucket list of places to visit! I have already booked with Rodney again and highly recommend him to all photographers, no matter what skill level they are at. Thank you very much for making it all possible with your expertise, knowledge, and patience, although I now have the long task of sorting out all the great photos. All the best, Gareth

I have used Rodney’s photographic guiding services twice now, (Antrim coast and Dingle) I would have no hesitation in recommending Rodney to other tour leaders who were thinking of running photo workshops and hiring a van to Ireland. Rodney’s local knowledge is exceptional, the experience he has gained in running his own tours means he understands the requirements of running a successful trip, he knew the best time of day to visit each location to get the best light, where to ‘duck in’ and get a cuppa when the heavens opened and where to find a ‘loo’ at short notice, he took away all the logistical hassle and stress of running a tour allowing me to spend more time to focus on clients, Im looking forward to working with him again in the near future.

Dramatic coast & Lighthouses

Brittany is a region known for its picturesque landscapes, charming villages, historic sites, and coastal scenery.

This incredible piece of coastline is packed with cliffs, coves, and beautiful beaches. The Pink Granite Coast (Côte de Granit Rose) in particular is famous for its unique pink-hued rocks.

Brittany has several iconic lighthouses, such as Kermorvan, Le Petit Minou and Ponte St. Mathieu. We will also travel north to Phare de Pontusval lighthouse from here.

Beautiful Beaches & Fishing Huts

The fishing huts, known as “cabanes de pêcheurs” in French, along the coast of Brittany are charming and distinctive structures that play a role in the region’s maritime heritage.

For photographers, these fishing huts offer compelling subjects. The contrast between the colourful huts and the backdrop of the sea or the lovely sandy beaches as the waves recede offer some striking compositions, especially during the golden hour.

Mont Saint-Michel

Mont Saint-Michel is situated about one kilometre off the coast at the mouth of the Couesnon River. It lies within the Normandy region, not far from the border with Brittany and due its proximity to Saint Malo, it is a location that we cannot miss.

It’s a small rocky island that becomes isolated from the mainland at high tide and connected by a causeway at low tide. One of the unique features of Mont Saint-Michel is its tidal phenomenon, with some of the most significant tides in Europe.

Saint Malo

Our Brittany photography workshop will end in Saint-Malo, the heart of which is the ancient walled city, known as “intra-muros.” The city’s ramparts were built in the 12th century and later extended in the 17th century. The walls offer stunning views of the sea and the surrounding landscape.

Join me on this fantastic workshop to photograph some of the finest coastal landscapes in all of France.
