Our outdoor shoots at Binning Woods

Most of our outdoor shoots are taken at Binning Woods near Tyninghamme.
Unless we arrange something else with you this is where to go and what to expect.

It’s a really beautiful woodland walk at all times of year with nice easy paths along the way, and more slightly rough areas we can go to if we can if it will give us good photos.

The paper poke idea here is quite good fun… we’ve even used this on dogs and cats… in fact we won Scottish Pet Photographer of the Year for 2022 with a photo of 3 cats doing a paper poke (you can see that photo on the Pets section of the website.
