Tour Itinerary
From my experience of running over 30 photography tours, having a fixed daily itinerary is limiting your chances of going home with the best possible images.
I like to work with the weather as much as possible and visit locations based on the current weather conditions. As an example, you can drive through a tunnel where on one side it’s clear blue skies and the other side there’s a blizzard.
Each evening I will “plan” the next day and let everyone know what time we’ll be leaving the next morning. This ensures that I’m putting you in the right place at the right time.
The tour starts from Vágar Airport (FAE), Faroe Islands. When looking at flights, please arrive no later than 5PM on arrival day. If your flight arrives after this, drop me a message and I will help you as best I can.
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. Depending on what time everyone lands, we will squeeze in a sunset shoot. We’ll get settled into our accommodation for the next week and run over the “plan” for the week. Retiring early for our 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.
Accommodation
As part of my Faroe Islands Photography Tour, I’m absolutely delighted to be able secure an idyllic beachfront house located in the charming village of Sørvágur, just 0.9 miles from the airport. Set at the end of a stunning fjord, this accommodation provides the perfect sanctuary to unwind after your daily photography adventures.
Single Rooms: Enjoy the privacy and comfort of your own single room. Each room offers a cosy and relaxing space to recharge.
Breathtaking Views: Wake up to incredible views that look down the fjord, leading your eye towards the iconic Tindhólmur. The view from your room is nothing short of beautiful.
Modern Amenities and Cooking Facilities: Your comfort is paramount, and the accommodation is equipped with all the modern amenities you need. Free Wi-Fi, relax in well-appointed rooms, and enjoy the convenience of fully-equipped cooking facilities, and a washing machine and dryer.

THE REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
Tyler's passion not only for photography, but for helping people hone their skills, made this a trip of a lifetime. Our group had a range of experience and equipment and Tyler met each of us where we were and helped create amazing photos and great memories. We saw an erupting volcano, multiple nights of the aurora, glaciers, mountains, waterfalls, reindeer and ponies, basalt formations, black sand beaches and more. There was a never-ending supply of subjects and shooting conditions. Tyler plans his trips meticiously yet still allowed us to pivot when unplanned events occurred (like an erupting volcano!). He gave us free range to explore, yet kept our safety paramount. Finally, Tyler's knowledge of Iceland took us to places off the beaten path and even when we were at more touristy spots, he timed it so that we were gone as the big tour buses arrived. I highly recommend Tyler and Chasing Light Tours for your next photographic adventure!
Tyler at Chasing the Light Tours was very knowledgeable on both Iceland and photography, nothing was too much trouble to make sure the tour was a success. Our tour was made up of a group of individuals with a mixed photographic experience, Tyler tailored his advice to each, so that they could get the best out of holiday. I would strongly recommend him and plan to travel with him again soon.
I’m rekindling my photo skills and was very rusty ! This was an amazing trip and Tyler had so much patience. I learnt a great deal and we were fortunate to have a fabulous group. Iceland must be seen in small groups ( I did some commercial tours ) and this is the only way to photograph as you have lots of time. I would highly recommend Tyler and I will be going on many more tours in the future. Thanks so much. Really appreciated everything. Mike T. New Forest. Uk.
I spent a great week with Tyler in the Dolomites. It was nice to have all the logistics handled and not having to worry about driving, parking and getting to the right place at the right time. Tyler managed all this and more. I personally learnt a lot from this first time experience in a photo tour directly from him and the group as well. Straight from the trip, I even got a drone (as I had never previously considered it). Tyler was very helpful and the tour overall was fantastic if you are a photographer. The small group size and personalized attention if you have questions made it easily something that I highly recommend.
What you’ll learn
On this Faroe Islands Photography Tour 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).
Editing: Learn how I edit my photographs using Adobe Lightroom Classic with final touches in Photoshop.

FAQs
Atlantic Airways is the Faroe Islands national airline. They have flights from Edinburgh every Monday & Thursday. Keflavik: Mondays and Fridays. Daily flights from Copenhagen.
No, my photography tours and workshops cater to all skill levels. I will provide personalised instruction to help you improve your photography skills, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced photographer.
I recommend bringing a DSLR or mirrorless camera, various lenses (wide-angle, telephoto), a sturdy tripod, extra batteries, memory cards, weather-appropriate clothing, and comfortable walking shoes. A full packing list which includes recommended camera gear and clothing for winter in Norway will be emailed to you after you book.
The meeting point will either be at the airport in Edinburgh if you’re on the same flight as me, or in the entrance hall at Vagar (FAE) airport at 5pm.
The trip will end after a sunrise shoot on the 17th April with dropoffs to the airport at 11am.
I’ve booked a 5 bedroom beachfront house located in the charming village of Sørvágur, just 0.9 miles from the airport. Set at the end of a stunning fjord, this accommodation provides the perfect sanctuary to unwind after your daily photography adventures.
No, all tours are self-catering.
There isn’t a great choice of restaurants on the island, or they’re closed during off season. We will go to supermarket everyday or every other day to gather what’s necessary for the coming days. Supermarkets are closed on Sundays. Every day I advise to bring lunch and snacks to eat throughout the day.
This tour involves moderate physical activity suitable for more fitness levels. Many locations are within a 15 – 20 minute walk from the car but there are locations that require hiking of up to 2 or 3 hours to get there. You must be able to walk on uneven, sometimes steep and icy ground.
I would recommended to budget at least £30-£50 per day. Everywhere accepts cards, so cash is not necessary.
You need to check your carrier. If coming from the UK I advise you to turn off your mobile data before boarding the plane. I also highly recommend getting an e-sim purely for mobile data. I did this last year and it was such an easy process.
