We are dedicated to making your Iceland photography workshop & tour the best possible experience you can have.
Our aim is to create a unique and unforgettable photography adventure that immortalizes your special days spent in Iceland. After all, if you are spending the autumn in Iceland, you should have a very rewarding experience.
Our ultimate goal is to go beyond the expected and deliver a stunning representation of your photography workshop & tour.
Welcome to "The Land of Fire and Ice," where you'll capture stunning imagery of cascading waterfalls, black sand beaches, glacial ice, Icelandic horses, and more during our Iceland photography workshop. Explore both iconic and remote locations across this Nordic island nation, immersing yourself in its breathtaking landscapes.
September offers ideal conditions in Iceland, with the sun setting unlike in the summer months. As fall begins, enjoy comfortable temperatures and prime opportunities to photograph the mesmerizing Aurora Borealis against captivating foregrounds. With over 12 hours of daylight each day, there's ample time to uncover and capture Iceland's natural beauty.
Our journey takes us from the Reykjavik region along the southern coast to the Snæfellsjökull peninsula, showcasing Iceland's dramatic landscapes, glacial lagoons, massive glaciers, and immense waterfalls. Each evening, we'll monitor the weather for optimal Northern Lights photography, hoping to witness the awe-inspiring Aurora Borealis illuminating the night sky. While the Northern Lights are unpredictable, clear nights and high solar activity may treat us to vibrant displays of green and magenta hues dancing across the heavens.
Iceland's waterfalls, among the most impressive worldwide, including Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, and Kirkjufoss, provide dramatic photographic subjects set against basalt cliffs. During our workshop, we'll spend two days at Jökulsárlón glacial ice beach and lagoon, capturing the ethereal beauty of floating blue ice and dreamlike colors at the edge of the Vatnökull ice-cap. Sunrise and sunset sessions along the black sands of Ice Beach offer opportunities to photograph icebergs washed ashore by the surf.
Exploring rugged coastlines and dramatic landscapes, we'll photograph Icelandic churches, lighthouses, ancient turf roof farms, black sand beaches, sea stacks, and more. Icelandic horses and sheep grazing in open farmland add to the picturesque scenes we'll encounter.
With an action-packed itineraries for the 7 Day or 11 Day Workshops, our workshop visits numerous locations, including glacial lagoons, waterfalls, volcanic craters, and iconic landmarks like Kirkjufell mountain and Reynisfjara beach. From pre-dawn shoots to sunset sessions, we'll seize every opportunity to capture Iceland's diverse beauty and keep a lookout for the Northern Lights.
