James Christie Photography

A unique way to see Edinburgh and an absolute must for anyone with an interest in photography. As well as a comprehensive guide to each of the sites visited, James Christie talks you through your camera and what settings to use to ensure you come away with not only fantastic photos, but the knowledge to create such photos for the rest of your life. An excellent tour with an extremely friendly and knowledgeable guide.

James is a knowledgeable guide and excellent photographer. He helped me with the settings on my camera and I feel more confident as a novice photographer than I did before. I highly recommend his tours!

Learned a lot about Edinburgh during my tour but learned so much more about photography. An absolute professional and made understanding the techie bits easy. I've never used auto settings since

James brings his extensive knowledge and experience of photography and the City of Edinburgh to his tours and teaching. He is attentive to each individual, patient and encouraging. Can't recommend him highly enough.

James is a fantastic teacher. Very patient and incredibly knowledgeable. 5 very well deserved stars.

James takes enormous trouble to ensure that everyone on l e of his tours gets the best out of their camera and the location. He is patient, friendly and humerous. He shares his kills unstintingly. Thank you James.

James is a great teacher and manages to get a total novice like me take Great Photos and in in language that I understand, He knows so much about his profession and the places to get super pictures, excellent value for money, and his sense of humour is awesome, when you're not clicking you're laughing. Looking forward to my next trip north to spend some more time at the Scottish Photography Experience.

Our tour guide James is such an amazing guy, we had such a great day on our tour last year in Edinburgh! It's a fantastic way to see the city, far more interesting than a normal everyday tour, and we went to places we wouldn't ordinarily have seen. Our photos were great, and James explained things so simply to us that we could, at last, use our camera properly! Would highly recommend James and the tour, it's a must for your visit to Scotland. We are hoping to book on his other tours on our next visit!

I saw the city I live in through new eyes thanks to the fantastic photography tour I did with James. His passion for photography and Edinburgh shines through and he certainly over delivers every step of the way. He makes the tour entertaining and fun and it's clear he enjoys passing on historical facts about the places you're photographing, in addition to sharing great stories about his fascinating career. I highly recommend taking his tour (it's amazing value for money) whether you live in Edinburgh or you're visiting. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic tour. I was fortunate to have a one-to-one tour. I have known Edinburgh all of my life and I learned new things about the city. More importantly for me, I learned how to use my camera in a much more effective way. Thanks, James; great day out in the city.

My boyfriend and I did the tour with James on our first day in Edinburgh and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Nobody else booked the tour for this day so we had a private session with James without any additional costs. You see the main sights of the city, learn about its history and James has some great stories to tell and recommendations to give.

And of course the main reason for taking the tour: learning about photography! I am so much more enthusiastic now about using the manual settings on my camera. James taught us so much and I really got a feeling for the different settings and composition. And I took great pictures of Edinburgh and the rest of our Scotland trip since I put all the learnings into practice. Thank you so much James for this all-around fantastic experience!!

I was lucky enough to be the only person booked in on James’ tour – and so got a private 4 hour walking tour! I would definitely recommend this walking tour to anyone interested in photography. James taught me so much about my camera, photography, the history of Edinburgh, as well as sharing some interesting stories from his career. I walked away with some great photos and the confidence to finally use the manual mode on my camera. This tour is absolutely worthwhile and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks James!

My son and I really thoroughly enjoyable our tour. Learned new things about Edinburgh, walked about in the sunshine and totally left with a much better understanding of aperture and shutter speed which I'm really pleased about as I've been struggling to understand these things for ages, Highly recommended
