Lens 57 is owned and operated by photographer and author Andrew Tobin.

Andrew has photographed subjects as varied as the football World Cup, glamorous weddings and HRH The Queen. His work has been seen in newspapers in the UK and around the world.

His photographic soul can be found on the west coast of Scotland, and the Isle of Skye in particular. He now focuses singularly on the island, its landscapes and people.

His first book, Skye At Night, showcases the landscapes and people of the island between sunset and sunrise. It is the product of five years of night-time hikes, exploring remote caves and clifftops and mountainsides, and meeting the most fantastic people who keep the island ticking while everyone else is sleeping.

After many requests, Andrew has started to offer bespoke one-to-one photography experiences on the Isle of Skye. These are very different from other workshops. They are dedicated and planned specifically for you, to help you achieve your best photography experience on this beautiful island, in comfort and without distractions.

The name “Lens 57” could refer to the number of camera lenses Andrew has owned in his photography career, but actually represents the latitude of the Isle of Skye in Scotland at 57 degrees north while being vaguely photography related. And everyone loves a short URL.

Andrew has restored many of the blog posts from his old website, tobinators.com, to this website. A lot of that content is still relevant and useful, and is being reformatted over time to suit this new design.
