Join us for an epic 5-day, 4-night landscape photography workshop along Iceland's stunning South Ring Road during the magic of the midnight sun! We'll spend our days chasing incredible light across some of our favorite locations, from the iconic peaks of Vestrahorn and the otherworldly icebergs of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon to the black sand beaches and dramatic coastal attractions around Vík. June brings Iceland's landscape to life with vibrant purple lupine fields in full bloom, and with nearly endless daylight we'll have extended golden hours to work with. If weather doesn't cooperate for our planned locations, we've got plenty of stunning waterfalls nearby to keep us shooting. We'll spend our first 2 nights based in Southeast Iceland based near Jökulsárlón before moving west to Vík for our final 2 nights to explore the area's otherworldly attractions. During our 5 days together you'll learn advanced landscape photography and post-processing techniques to bring your images to life. Expect plenty of individual attention with a small group and experienced pro instructors.

Agenda

We will meet at the Keflavik Airport the the morning of June 23rd. You will need to be at KEF and have your luggage retrieved no later than 10am as we will be departing together for the drive along the south Ring Road to our first destination, which takes approx. 5 ½ hours from the airport. Once we arrive we will check into our hotel and take a much needed stretch break from the lengthy drive. The first two days we will be exploring the SE Ring Road - Vestrahorn, Diamond Beach, Jökulsárlón, Svartifoss, Múlagljúfur, and Fossálar to name a few. We will then move west to our next home base of Vik, where we will explore Black Sand Beach, Dyrhólaey (Puffins!), Vik Church, Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, and Kvernufoss - all weather permitting. After shooting the morning of June 27th, we will return to Keflavik (approx. 3 hour drive), when you will disembark home at your convenience.
