5Winter in Assynt delivered some of the most dramatic light I’ve ever photographed.
In this video, I head into the Scottish Highlands to capture my best winter landscape photographs — chasing fleeting light, snow-covered mountains, and the raw atmosphere Assynt is famous for.
From location choices and working in harsh winter conditions to creative decisions in the field, this film documents both the process and the moments behind the images. Assynt in winter is unpredictable, challenging, and endlessly inspiring — and that’s exactly why I keep coming back.
If you enjoy landscape photography, winter shooting, or Scotland’s wild places, I hope this inspires you to slow down, explore, and chase the light.
📍 Location: Assynt, Scottish Highlands
📷 Genre: Winter Landscape Photography
🌨️ Conditions: Snow, cold light, shifting weather
If you enjoyed the video, consider subscribing for more real-world landscape photography, creative insight, and honest conversations about photography.
With thanks to Adrian for the Drone footage and time lapse. As well as arranging the trip and driving us around for the week you are a star mate.
