Description

Experience the magic of photographing North Iceland under the enchanting glow of the midnight sun - weather permitting!

This unique photography workshop is designed for photographers whom are eager to explore & capture the stunning variety of Icelandic scenery—fuelled by the extended golden hours of the midnight sun.

Over the course of this workshop, you will immerse yourself in the dramatic & diverse landscapes, seascapes & wildlife of Iceland’s north - perfect for photographers of all levels.

Led by professional landscape photographers, Dave Nelson & Dori Jonsson - this hands-on photography workshop takes you through the landscapes of one of Iceland’s most beautiful regions. 

North Iceland is a land of contrasts, where jagged volcanic mountains meet lush valleys & volcanic craters rise from serene lakes. You’ll have the opportunity to photograph: -

• Sweeping volcanic landscapes with geothermal activity.

• Incredible waterfalls bathed in soft golden light.

• Mystical canyons with towering cliffs & rich greenery.

• Diverse coastal landscapes offering striking views of dramatic cliffs, serene fjords & the endless horizon where the sun lingers without setting.

• On the evenings where the midnight sun’s extended hours provide perfect conditions, there will be opportunities to capture some of the region’s wildlife, which includes varied migratory birds, puffins & Icelandic horses - all within their natural habitats.

Photography night shoots under the midnight sun offer a sense of stillness & serenity - locations are often unusually quiet, with fewer people around & calmer winds. The atmosphere feels almost suspended in time, allowing for uninterrupted long exposures & a contemplative approach to your photography.

With no real “darkness” at this time of the year & where weather permits, we will find ourselves shooting through the night, driven by the excitement of experiencing the constant, evolving beauty of this region.

For this workshop, we will be based in Iceland’s second largest city, Akureyri, where we are ideally positioned to reach all of the best locations easily. This photography workshop will involve 7 days of photography with locations visited fthrough the night - from the early evening through to the early hours of the morning - to allow us capture the soft light of the midnight sun.

As a result of this, this workshop will not have a fixed itinerary - instead we will go to our photography locations based & suited to the weather & conditions. This approach will allow us to shoot in the best light & weather to capture great images.

Where photography night shoots are planned, clients will be given free time during the day to catch up on sleep & explore the city of Akureyri.

This workshop will empower you to build a stunning portfolio whilst developing new skills & confidence for wherever your camera takes you next.

Dave & Dori’s warm & approachable teaching style ensures you’ll feel supported as you explore creative techniques - learning how to capture the unique beauty of this incredible region in Iceland.

In this relaxed, enjoyable, & fun environment, you’ll have the chance to connect with fellow photographers, share experiences & receive personalised feedback from both Dave & Dori.

Whether you're a beginner or seasoned photographer, this workshop will help you develop new skills whilst enjoying the beauty of North Iceland under the midnight sun. You will leave with incredible images, cherished memories, new photography skills & friendships which will last a lifetime.

All are welcome to attend this workshop regardless of your photography level & experience.

We hope you can join us on this photography adventure!
