Master Your Photography in Ireland

overview

Ireland is a small country, located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Geopolitically, it is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. The island is renowned worldwide as an enchanting land of epic green landscape, idyllic scenery and medieval castles, where warmth and hospitality are national traits and poets are national heroes.

This photographic tour, designed by our Remarkable Transformer, Feargal Doherty will take you on a captivating trip to some of the most Instagrammable hot spots Ireland offers. Kicking off with a tutorial on how best to use your phone to take amazing photos, you will then visit photogenic highlights such as the Giant’s Causeway and the Slieve League Cliffs, where you will create your reflective diary of the positive feelings, the scenery, culture and culinary delights of Ireland. Scenes of rustic lighthouses, national parks, sea cliffs and castles will inspire and develop your photography skills while learning about Ireland’s ancient history, folklore, myths, and legends and, of course, experiencing the delicacies and the welcoming warmth of the people. Your journey will finish in Dublin with a reflective photo diary workshop run by Brendan Ó Sé, 2017’s iPhone Photographer of The Year.

This adventure is suitable for all levels of photographers.
