Why CLC exists
Small groups. Big locations. Run properly.
Premium, friendly workshops with real coaching time
Chasing Light Collective exists for photographers who want more than a crowded “follow me” tour. These workshops are intentionally small and friendly, so every photographer gets time, support, and a great group experience. We do the heavy lifting before you arrive: scouting, timing, conditions, access planning and the details that make the trip smooth, including permissions where required. Every workshop is owned and operated by Dylan Knight Photography, so the standard stays consistent from booking through to the field.
- Small-group by design (3–6): enough attention for everyone without rushing.
- Planned end-to-end: light, tides, moon, weather, logistics and location access handled upfront.
- Education + experience: learn a lot, shoot iconic places, and leave with decisions you can repeat.
This approach came from years of chasing light the hard way and refining what actually helps people improve: a solid plan, patient coaching, and the full process from capture to finishing.
The standard
CLC exists to protect the client experience: clear planning, respectful delivery, and small-group coaching that actually moves your work forward.
Mentorship-led
We teach the why, not just settings. You leave with clarity you can repeat anywhere.
Limited seats
Typically 3–6 per instructor (depending on access requirements) for maximum guidance.
Professional planning
Tides, moon phase, weather, and timing matter. We plan around reality, not wishful thinking.
Respect for locations
We operate with care, including permissions/permits where required.
