This was my first astrophotography workshop and I was delighted to work with Ollie in Tenerife in 2025.  The locations for photography were really fantastic and our accommodation was really first class which helped enormously after each late night.  Due to a serious illness the previous year, I went to the workshop with a view to relearn most of my astrophotography processes and processing of Images which Ollie was kind enough to provide guidance and great fun to be around!  I also wanted to see a real dark sky with no clouds (unlike here in Ireland). Thank you Ollie! I would recommend the Tenerife workshop and Ollie as instructor.   My advice to get the most out of this particular  workshop is to have more than a basic understanding to operate a star tracking device as you will definitely get more out of the workshop.  Also for post-processing sessions, a good understanding of Photoshop is very helpful.  Some level of fitness also required as walking with gear for 20-25 minutes will be needed on occasion.

I have just concluded attending a Photography workshop in Lofoten Islands. Norway and what a workshop it was !!! I had great time in it not only taking amazing photos of the Aurora and winter photography landscape but  also meeting amazing people with  passion to photography.  The workshop was led by Ollie Taylor whom I was  pleased to join  one of his offered workshop earlier. The distinctive thing about Ollie, other than being a professional photographer with an amazing disposition of professional work, is that he always ensures that no matter what is your level of knowledge in photography that  all of your questions will be answered. Should you need any assistance in the location, he will attend to that. Also he is very generous in sharing his knowledge which I recognize  as a sign of a confident photographer and true educator. I attended a workshop, ages ago, in which the lead photographer was so cautious of sharing his knowledge because the question I asked  was "related to another workshop” of his !!!! I would confidently recommend to anyone attending any of Ollie’s workshops because the learning curve is noticeable once you leave the workshop and as one of the attendees said it on the last day as we were having our last  lunch together “with Ollie you will always witness the Aurora” .

In short, I wholeheartedly recommend Ollie’s workshops. Not only is he a great photographer but also a great travel companion, who will go at great lengths to ensure you have a truly unforgettable experience. My photo trip in Iceland with him was by far the best one I’ve ever had.

Ollie is not just famous for being bullied by the SNP, his work is fantastic, the very best of Scotland's scenery, not to mention an extensive portfolio of excellent work from the UK and beyond,

I went on my first trip with Ollie to the Dolomites, and it was a fantastic.  He was committed to making sure that the group was at the right place at the right time and was monitoring the weather reports and location cams to make sure that happened for us.  He had a great rapport with the group, and his enthusiasm for astrophotography was infectious.  Highly recommend.

I have been on a number of workshops with Ollie and there are a number of things for me that standout on Ollie’s workshops compared to others. Ollie is passionate about what he does and that shows by the time he spends with his attendees and the detail and knowledge that he tries to pass on to them. Planning is something that is constant, he will always be thinking ahead and have backup plans in his head in case conditions change. Others  courses I have been on just stay in one location no matter what the conditions but not with Ollie, we always manage to get in a number of locations, this makes it such a more productive workshop. I feel that I have learnt so much from Ollie and this reaped its rewards by one of my images taken on one of his workshop being shortlisted in the Astro photographer of the year and I was published in the APOY book. I highly recommend Ollie’s workshops to anyone wanting to learn from the best. Rob Bowes

Ollie comes highly recommended. I’m just back from his astrophotography workshop in Tenerife during which we learned some entirely new (to me) ways to photograph the Milky Way. How to scout locations very precisely in advance, how to use star trackers and why/when to use various focal lengths. We got plenty of practice in some wonderful locations. He knows his stuff and is very well prepared (he’s constantly making and re-making plans to dodge bad weather/make the most of the time).

I've been on several of Ollie's workshops the latest being in Tenerife. As always Ollie worked hard to ensure everyone got great shots from a wide variety of locations. You simply can't fault his energy and creativity. Highly recommended if you want to learn about night/astro photography and aren't afraid of long cold nights!

Had a wonderful trip with Ollie Taylor to the Lofoten Islands in Norway.  His ability and enthusiasm to find the best photographic spots for us was first-rate.  He also did a phenomenal job in setting us up for some great aurora viewing (luck needed too!).  Great personality.  Have already booked another trip with Ollie Taylor Photography.

Ollie is a passionate and talented photographer with excellent knowledge of different landscapes and countries. I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to take their photography to the next step and explore new terrain. He is very trustworthy, reliable and a good laugh. Thanks Ollie for a memorable trip.

I'm a long-term client of Ollie's and that I keep going back speaks volumes. Ollie's workshops and tours are a cut-above the rest, for sure. He knows his stuff, his locations and is only too keen to do all that he can to ensure that his clients get the best out of their time with him. On a recent trip to Iceland with him (December 2022), he completely rearranged the itinerary on the fly, hunting out the best weather. For astrophotography or, in this case, Aurora, that's clear skies predominantly. Most, if not all, other photographers set their itinerary, book their accommodation well in advance and will stick with it come hell or high water (or, in the case of Iceland, blizzards and meters of snow). That sets Ollie apart. I will certainly use Ollie again; Iceland once more in December 2023 and Madeira in June 2024 are already booked. In short ... Ollie is a good guy. Give him a try ... you won't regret it.

I just returned from Ollie's Greenland workshop and I am not sure if it can get any better than this. This has been my 4th workshop with Ollie and was certainly not my last. Long story short: if you are looking for highly professional workshops in amazing locations with a great guy who is always going the extra mile look no further.

it's pretty easy to put a review up online for something or someone.. Linked-in is full of blah blah blah.. But just like a good restaurant.. when you find someone who has such a great talent.. maybe you should keep quiet..but that's not for me. I joined Ollie's recent trip to Lofoten rather late.. with just one shot I was after. I'd never really done filters and tripods and long time exposures. But Ollie made it a breeze, He had hand picked a variety of locations, pre checked then out during the day and night before. Checked the tides, the North vs South and every angle in between. Then with a frequent update on solar weather, sunset times and clear skies forecast we were off. What a truly amazing trip. not only did he do a mass of work in advance, but he ensured the places we stayed, and the roads we took were spot on. When the weather looked a little risky he ensured we were all heading in the same direction .... away from the avalanches. Score 100%, 10 out of 10.. however you describe it.. Whilst nothing is certain in life.. and we think of ourselves as being lucky.. To be lucky.. you have to be there... Right time, right place, right people. Thanks Ollie for a fabulous and memorable trip..and bringing us such great "Luck"  I will be back..

My first photo workshop was done in a very spontaneous way when I was looking to improve my skills in landscape photography and especially astrophotography. So I joined Ollie's Dolomites workshop at the last minute and I really don't regret it. So it was only natural that I chose him for a second workshop in La Palma and I'm sure it won't be the last one... He gives his all to satisfy you despite sometimes hazards beyond his control, regardless of your physical level or photography. Thank you very much Ollie for all these moments and memories and see you soon for a next workshop under the stars...

Just back from my latest adventure with Ollie to Chile and Bolivia, and it was hands down the best one yet! Every trip with him is an incredible experience, but this time really stood out. Even on the other side of the world, Ollie had scouted out the most unique and breathtaking locations — stunning views, crystal-clear night skies like nowhere else, and nearly always to ourselves. What truly sets Ollie’s workshops apart is the care he puts into planning and how dedicated he is to making sure everyone has the best possible experience. He’s always available with expert guidance, tips for capturing that perfect shot, and handles any unexpected hiccups with calm professionalism. You always feel safe, supported, and free to just enjoy the adventure. Already looking forward to the next one!

Just finished an AMAZING week with Ollie and Elly in Slovenia.  The amount of time and preparation that they both did to ensure this trip ran smoothly was great. Ollie was fantastic in sharing his knowledge and assistance with all of us in the group at each location and in particular - night photography as we had the Super Moon on one night of the trip. Can highly recommend Ollie Taylor Photography tours from beginners to advanced photographers.

I have been on a few of Ollie's workshops (Iceland  and Slovenia) as well as a one 2 one. His tution is superb as well as the amount of effort he puts into to make sure it is a success for everyone taking part and not only that he also explains a bit about post production.
