My Deluxe Puffin workshop with Christopher Dodds; Aug 1-4 2025

Chris Dodds is an excellent photographic guide for his annual Puffin photographic workshops. The experience he provides is enjoyable, productive and highly instructive. The travel details, meals and accommodations are extremely well managed. The location is ideal for photographing these adorable birds, providing hundreds of puffins for both still and inflight photos.

After this trip I would have complete confidence joining any of Chris’s expeditions, anywhere in the world.

Photography is of course the critical element of the trip and with Chris’s help I learned a lot about how to be a more effective wildlife photographer. Chris held well-explained overviews group discussions on setting up for best results. Once shooting, he spends time with each participant one-on-one. This was especially helpful for my wife, who has been transformed into an enthusiastic photographer after this short excursion.

An important aspect of a trip success is that Chris is clearly well-respected and well-liked by the local community supporting us on this trip. That really helps everything go smoothly. This was my first photographic workshop. There WILL be more, we are already looking into future Chris Dodds workshops.
