As an enthusiastic amateur I was initially concerned that I might not be able to cope having never used graduated or neutral density filters before. I needn’t have worried. First of all Vieri and Zeynep’s detailed research and knowledge means that they know the best locations and you are driven to a location with plenty of time to access the location and set up in the best position. The small size of the classes means you get pretty much undivided attention whenever you need it and Vieri’s detailed technical knowledge means any questions or issues can be quickly answered or resolved. I am delighted with the shots I took but have no doubt that the only reason I got them was from your expert advice. Thank you Vieri and Zeynep!
I started exploring and photographing Iceland in 2017, and it was instant love! In 15 years of landscape photography, Iceland is one of the destinations I felt immediately connected with. The Icelandic landscapes, the wintery weather, the incredible skies and powerful oceans, everything in Iceland deeply resonated with my soul. Since our first trip there, I returned multiple times every year, always in winter, for an innumerable number of visits between explorations, personal work and Workshops. With its powerful, majestic and iconic landscapes and the variety of photographic opportunities it offers, Iceland is one of those destinations every landscape photographer dreams of, and rightfully so. The more I explore it and the more I know it, the more I am looking forward to what our next visit will bring!
Designing your Iceland Photography Workshop, leveraging on over a decade of experience leading more than 110 Workshops, 13 of which in Iceland so far, I selected a Portfolio of locations to offer you the most comprehensive introduction to the unique beauty of the country's winter landscapes, when snow and ice create a wonderfully inspiring contrast with black rocks and sands, adding even more expressive power to those already superb landscapes.
During this Workshop, I am looking forward to putting at your service all the years dedicated to exploring and photographing this incredible island in winter, together with my extensive tutoring expertise, for an unforgettable photographic and learning experience!
