The Lofoten Islands are among the most attractive destinations that Norway, and indeed all of Scandinavia, has to offer. Fjords, diverse coastlines, towering peaks, beautiful beaches, picturesque fishing villages... all of this is just a fraction of what we will see in Lofoten.

Many of you have already visited Lofoten with me on photography expeditions in September, October, November, February, March, or April. But never in the summer. I have only enjoyed the midnight sun in Lofoten during private trips. And this year, for the first time, you have the opportunity to join me on a summer photo expedition under the reign of the midnight sun. What can we expect? Blooming Lofoten, whose colorful scenery sometimes resembles Madeira. Yes, we can find that many flowers in Lofoten in June. Add to that the turquoise sea and frequent morning fogs that resemble inversions, a phenomenon not seen in Lofoten at other times of the year.

But most importantly, we will experience literally endless sunsets and sunrises full of colors. Are you disappointed when you miss the most beautiful "red light" just before sunset while photographing? Imagine that such light lasts for several hours. We might spend six hours photographing a beautiful sunset, but after a while, it will actually be a sunrise. This is somewhat exaggerated, as the sun does not set at this time in Lofoten. So, when will we be photographing? During the day. But biologically at night. When will we sleep? During the day. Biologically during the day.

If you have never been to Lofoten or anywhere in northern Scandinavia in the summer, you will experience something unique. An endless photographic journey, where during the non-sunset and non-sunrise, we will capture countless compositions from beaches and hills, all under the most beautiful lighting conditions. In other words, we enjoy the polar day.

Who is the Photography Expedition For?

This photography expedition is perfect for anyone passionate about landscape photography, whether you're an experienced photographer or just starting out. During the expedition, you'll master new techniques and approaches to capturing stunning landscapes, with a focus on single shots, panoramic photos, and daytime landscapes under the unique lighting of the polar day. You’ll also explore techniques for capturing the incredible midnight sun, learn exposure bracketing, improve your understanding of advanced exposure metering, and refine your focusing techniques for both single images and panoramas. While we won’t be photographing the Northern Lights during this trip, the endless daylight of the polar day offers a rare opportunity to experiment with dynamic lighting conditions. This expedition is designed to elevate your skills and help you create breathtaking landscape images in this extraordinary environment.

Advantages of Photography Expedition

Participants will gain the know-how of landscape photography. There are no "production secrets" or secret procedures for taking photos.
Getting to know the most interesting locations of Lofoten.
We shoot at well-known places, but primarily focus on locations where other photographers rarely or never visit... experience shooting with us at familiar, but also at undiscovered locations.
Photo locations for everyone. Are you physically fit and want to shoot mainly from the peaks of the Lofoten mountains? Or, on the contrary, do you have health issues or simply running out of stamina? No problem. Thanks to the high number of instructors and cars, we tailor the program individually for each expedition participant according to their physical capabilities. On our expeditions, no one is ever "the last one lagging behind."
Variable photographic spots in a good and also bad weather.
Friendly atmosphere and small number of participants.
Above-standard number of lecturers (3!), thanks to which a very individual approach to each participant is guaranteed.

Recommended Equipment

Ideally a Digital SLR or mirrorless camera with one or more lenses and tripod. Do you only shoot with a mobile phone? That doesn't have to be an obstacle, and you can confidently join us. In a limited number and under certain conditions, we are able to arrange photographic equipment for those of you who may still be deciding which brand of cameras and lenses to purchase. Detailed information about the recommended equipment will be provided to each participant after a binding registration.

Are you thinking about new photography equipment or maybe just want to optimize your lenses, need advice on purchasing suitable clothing, or are unsure about choosing a new tripod etc.? No problem. As part of the pre-expedition preparation, we offer and routinely conduct a wide range of consultation services, which are included in the price of the expedition.

Price includes

Lecturers guidance throughout the expedition.
Dealing with the individual requirements of each participant, lectures and moderated discussions.

The price of the expedition also includes breakfasts tailored to the clients' wishes.
Superior accommodation in newly built "rorbuer" (typical red houses) directly in Reine. Each rorbu has its own private terrace for sitting and possibly watching the Aurora Borealis. It is probably the most luxurious accommodation that can currently be obtained in Reine. Alternatively, accommodation in a large house with an outdoor hot tub, two kitchens, two living rooms, terrace, private garden etc. The amenities include a washing machine, tumble dryer, coffee maker, toaster, hairdryer, and more. Accommodation will be in double rooms, with the possibility of paying an extra charge for single occupancy.

Thanks to the large number of instructors and the small number of participants, an extremely individual approach to each expedition participant is ensured.

Price does not include

Meals other than breakfast (the accommodation features a kitchen for self-catering). But within walking distance in the surrounding area, there are also cafes and restaurants, just as in Leknes, through which we pass almost every day.

Any admission fees or tickets, and air travel.

Detailed itinerary of the photo expedition

Are you interested in the detailed itinerary of the photo expedition? Do you want to know where we will be shooting on the third day, what we will have for dinner on the fourth day, where we will be shooting on the fifth day, or what time we will have breakfast on the seventh day? Then you won't find that with us.

We fundamentally reject this type of sightseeing tours! We adapt our program to current weather forecast models. Based on the knowledge and experience of the lecturers, we select for shooting those locations where there are currently the greatest chances of successfully taking photos. From an organizational standpoint, this type of photo expedition is significantly more demanding than a preset "prefabricated" model of travel agencies, regardless of weather and photographers' needs. However, we organize a real photo expedition. Our goal is for each participant to take as many photos as they expect and envision.
