# Alex Nail Photography
Alex Nail Photography offers immersive mountain photography tours and workshops led by an accomplished landscape photographer with decades of expertise in wilderness and alpine environments. Based in Bath, Alex Nail specialises in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland, though expeditions extend internationally to destinations like Iceland.
The business serves serious photography enthusiasts and adventurers seeking to develop their landscape and mountain photography skills whilst exploring some of Britain's most dramatic terrain. Participants range from intermediate to advanced photographers wanting to improve their craft under professional guidance.
What sets Alex Nail apart is his exceptional credentials and multifaceted experience. He's a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society serving on their Distinctions Panel, a published author of two acclaimed books, and a qualified Mountain Leader—a rare combination ensuring both photographic excellence and safety in remote environments. His commissions from organisations including the British Tourist Authority, National Trust and Woodland Trust demonstrate professional recognition, whilst his role as joint founder of the Natural Landscape Photography Awards reflects his standing within the photography community. As a Kase filters ambassador, he brings industry partnerships and equipment expertise.
His workshops combine technical instruction with genuine adventure. Rather than classroom-based learning, participants capture images in live mountain conditions across carefully curated locations, from Scottish summits to Icelandic highlands. This experiential approach—emphasised by the "Capture to Print" workshop—connects photography theory directly to field practice and tangible outputs, making the learning transformative rather than theoretical.
