THE PHOTO-PROJECT RETREAT, EIGG ISLAND, SCOTLAND
Following the success of our Photo-Project Retreat in the woods of Lithuania in 2025, we will repeat the concept but this time in a very different environment: The mysterious Eigg island, one of the most secluded, pristine, wild and visually stunning islands of Scotland. Facing the isle of Rhum, we will be located on the West coast of Eigg island, with two beaches and a a strech of rocky shore full of some of the most incredible geological features of the whole of Scotland. This is a very dynamic environment, full of change: changing light, changing weather, changing tides, changing ocean conditions and changing geology. A wonderful place to work on personal and unique photographic projects.
Our Photo-Project events take our concept of the Photo-Retreat and push it a bit further, by intentionally slowing down the pace a bit more. This innovative concept envisions a retreat in an isolated 'sanctuary,' creating a more 'bubble-like' experience. With the support and guidance of Rafael, participants will be able to engage in self-discovery, refine their personal vision, and elevate their craft amidst the serene embrace of nature.
During this Photo-Project Retreat, Rafael will help every participant put together two different photographic projects, which will be edited, printed, and bound into two handmade books to take home. During the week, we will cover many aspects always difficult for most fellow photographers: How to identify patterns emerging in our work? How to find ideas? How to find those faint whispers calling for attention in the landscape? How to edit and put together a body of work that combines concept, emotion and has coherence and homogeneity? How to use narrative or seriality in our work?
This holistic journey promises not just a photographic adventure in one of the most beautiful places of Scotland, but an exploration of creativity, and the creation of a body of work with intent, message and purpose. We promise an unforgettable experience, but be warned, the return to “reality” will be a bit difficult after the end of this Retreat!
