This Lofoten Photography Tour has been planned with photographer right in the centre. Located within the Arctic Circle, Lofoten Islands boasts fantastic photography opportunities. The low lying sun casts a beautiful golden light all day long, while ice and snow combine with the other elements to create otherworldly, almost alien landscapes. Best of all we’ll be chasing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) at night!
This Lofoten Photography Tour includes a visit to the traditional fishing village of Nusfjord, where you can photograph colourful wooden cabins and roughly hewn outdoor racks for drying cod. We will stroll the beaches of Storsandnes and Rambergstranda, which rival tropical destinations with their clean waters and fine, white sands. We will capture the colonies of seagulls perched on rugged cliffs, which tumble down to the sea from snow-capped fjords. And at nightfall if we’re lucky, we will witness one of nature’s greatest spectacles – the breath-taking aurora borealis.
Although this is a group tour, I will spend plenty of one-on-one time with you. Depending on your experience level, we will delve deeper into advanced topics like metering and post-processing and I’ll explain everything without mind boggling technical jargon.
It’s time you unleash your creativity while experiencing Norway like the Vikings!

If you are travelling the day before, just let me know so I can arrange to collect you.
Day 1 – Arrival Day
This is the arrival day, I’ll be collecting everyone from the airport and we’ll be getting settled into our accommodation for the next week. We’ll run over the “plan” again for the week and head out in the evening for a group meal before retiring before our early start the next morning.
Day 2 to 7 – The Adventure
This is where the real adventure begins.
Over the next 6 full days we will be photographing at every opportunity we can get. We’ll be getting up early every morning (regardless of weather) to be on location 1 hour before sunrise, after each sunrise shoot we’ll head for breakfast before heading to our next location.
Each sunset location, we’ll be there roughly 2 hours before so that we can each scope out our sunset composition.
On the final evening, we’ll head out for our final meal together where we can look back on our amazing week together.
Day 8 – Departure Day
Goodbyes are forever, I’ll be saying see you later as I hope you’ll join me on another adventure. We’ll head to the airport where everyone can catch their flights home.Please note: Direct flights from Oslo (OSL) to Leknes (LKN) have not yet been released. I will email once they have been released so you can book.
On this trip I’m at your complete disposal to help and teach you everything I know about photography.
Here are a few of the key skills that I’ll be covering:
Camera Settings: It starts with the basics. RAW, Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. Learn how and when to use the various modes on your camera to get the shot you want.
Composition: Composition is everything in landscape photography. Learn how to compose a landscape photograph.
Long Exposures: Learn how to use long exposures so you can create dramatic and interesting photographs.
Histogram: Learn how to read your histogram so that you’re exposing correctly and capturing maximum data with no clipping.
Low Light: Learn how to photograph the night sky and if luck is on our side, we’ll also shoot the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).
