What an amazing trip. Thanks Tyler for all your tuition. I feel I have learned a lot about composition, editing, and how to set up the camera best for each condition. The week was jam packed with visiting a variety of locations, and Tyler’s knowledge of the area and best time of day to visit each location was outstanding. And even when the weather turned against us one evening, we had a great session about photo editing. Thanks for everything, now to book the next trip….

I joined a tour to Iceland in November 2021. It was everything I expected and more. Tyler is a great non-nonsense guide who creates a relaxed atmosphere while using every available minute. I got some great tips here and there that were to the point and will help me in the rest of my picture-making 'career'. This is not a luxury tour and that's fine by me. We arranged our own food wherever we could. Supermarket, gas station, restaurant, whatever was available. Accomodations were comfortable and clean. And most important of all, I returned with many great pictures !!

What Makes a Great Landscape Photo?

It’s something I get asked all the time on tours, and the answer usually comes down to three key things, light, composition, and subject or a combination of all.

📐 Composition – The first image is all about strong lines and structure. The way those curves pull your eye into the frame is no accident. It shows how thoughtful framing can transform even the simplest scene.

🎯 Subject – The little church in Slovenia is a perfect example. Without it, the landscape would still be boring but the subject gives it purpose. It tells a story.

💡 Light – Sunrise at Lake Bled. Soft light, calm water, gentle colours. The right light completely transforms how a scene feels and photographs.

⛅ Mood & Light Combined – The Dolomites shot is one of my favourites. That dramatic sky, with the sun breaking through, doesn’t just add atmosphere. The light is leading your eye directly to the mountain, pulling you into the shot. That’s where the magic happens.

🔥 Golden Hour Glow – The beach in Iceland lit up like fire. It’s all about timing. The golden hour light, the texture in the wet sand, the warmth in the sky, it makes all the difference.

🌅 Simplicity – The silhouettes of the windmills in the Netherlands prove that sometimes, less is more. Clean, simple, and beautiful.

All of these things, light, subject, composition, and timing come together to make a photo that really works.

Which of these do you focus on most in your photography? Let me know in the comments below!

Sometimes the best photo of the day is the one you take from your hotel room.

Clear blue skies, golden light hitting the snow-dusted mountains, and that wide open Icelandic landscape stretching out for miles.

I thought I’d do an introduction about how I ended up here, running photography tours for a living.

I’ve always been obsessed with photography, especially war photography, but there was one problem… I couldn’t afford a camera. I spent hours looking at images, imagining the shots I’d take, but had no way to actually take them.

One month, I decided to take a risk. I sent my friend @davidcarr01 to Belfast with my entire paycheck to buy me a Nikon D7000. I could only afford the body, no lens, so my friend @markinstani stepped in and lent me a 50mm lens until I could get my own. From that moment changed everything.

At the time, I was working as a web designer, but it wasn’t what I wanted. The work was repetitive, and even when I switched companies for more flexibility, my wages were late. Twice. That was it. One Friday, I walked out and emailed my boss: “I won’t be back.”

With no plan, I applied for a job as a Northern Lights guide in Finland. Thousands of people applied, and somehow, this irish guy from Northern Ireland was the one they picked.

That job changed everything. I fell in love with the Arctic, the adventure, and meeting people from all over the world. That’s what pushed me to launch my first photography tour in Iceland.

The company I worked for didn’t like that. While I was home for a funeral, I got a text from my boss: “Come back and get your stuff.”

So, I went all in. No job, no backup plan, just a decision. And now? I run photography tours full-time, taking people to some of the most incredible places on Earth.

Chasing Light Tours isn’t about ticking off locations. It’s about real experiences, real adventure, and capturing the kind of moments that stay with you forever.

And to think, it all started with a late paycheck, a Nikon D7000, and a borrowed lens.

Your Iceland photography tour might not come with push-ups, but it does come with early mornings, late nights, and a whole lot of chasing light! 😆 Yesterday at one of our stops, my guest Laurie from Canada said this trip was the "best photography bootcamp she's ever been on." I had to laugh at the comparison, I promise, there’s no push-ups involved, just incredible landscapes, the thrill of the chase, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Photography should be fun, inspiring, and always a learning experience, and hearing feedback like this makes me love what I do even more.

So, who’s signing up for the next bootcamp? 😉📸

The conditions have been absolutely unreal this entire trip, still can't believe we've had this much consecutive good weather in Iceland, it's almost unheard of! Every single sunrise and sunset has been putting on a show, and this morning was no exception.

Here's a shot I mentioned from just after the sun had crested the horizon, I've got another shot from before sunrise where the sky was illuminous pink but the 4:5 crop ruins if, I'll share it to my story instead.

#ChasingLightTours #DiamondBeach #IcelandPhotography #SunriseMagic #LandscapePhotography
In the 40 or so times I've visited Iceland, I've never walked away from this spot with an image I was truly happy with. The conditions were always off, either flat blue skies or dull, grey nothingness, no interest at all. I’d come here hoping for something special, and time and time again, it never quite worked out.

But this morning… this morning was different.

An hour before sunrise I could see the red in the sky, it grew and it grew and then the sky exploded with colour, with deep reds and oranges painting the clouds over the Reynisdrangar sea stacks. It was one of those moments where everything finally comes together.

This is why I keep coming back.

Snowdrifts shaped by the wind create some of the most dynamic and fleeting patterns in nature. This was one of those moments where the light, wind, and texture aligned perfectly, capturing the fine details of airborne snow as it was lifted from the ridge.

I went with a fast shutter speed (1/1250 sec) to freeze the movement of the wind-blown snow while keeping the sharp textures in the drift. Shooting at 106mm allowed me to isolate the scene, emphasizing the delicate dance of light and shadow across the surface.

Winter landscapes aren’t always about grand vistas, sometimes, the smallest details tell the best stories.

Another shot from the same location, but this time I wanted to emphasize just how much of the sky was filled with aurora. By using a small foreground and going wide at 10mm, the sheer scale of the display becomes the focus, waves of green and red dancing across the night sky.

The intensity of the aurora made for an incredible scene, shifting so fast that I had to keep my exposure at 5 seconds to capture the movement while maintaining definition in the structure. Easily one of the best displays I’ve witnessed in a long time.

The dunes of Morocco are like a moving canvas, shaped by the wind, sculpted by light. As the sun dipped lower, the contrast between shadow and golden sand became more dramatic, turning the landscape into an endless pattern of curves and textures.

This stunning shot was taken by my co-guide Darren Lewey, capturing the interplay of light and shadow across the dunes in a way that truly highlights the magic of the desert. Morocco is a dream location for photographers, and I can't wait to explore it further on my upcoming tour (15th – 23rd October 2025). If you'd love to experience and photograph scenes like this, there are still spots available!

Who else loves capturing textures of sand?
