Every nature lover should see the Northern Lights at least once in their lifetime. Likewise, every landscape photographer should have at least one photo of her in his portfolio. Now you have an excellent opportunity for it! Do not miss the photo expedition, which will take place in an area where this rare phenomenon occurs very often - in the beautiful fjords of the Norwegian Lofoten Islands. Lofoten is a place full of traditional fishing villages, majestic rock peaks rising directly from the ocean and endless beaches. Especially in winter, when the mountains and cliffs are covered with fresh snow, this place is a real paradise for a landscape photographer. In addition to photographing the aurora borealis, we will of course also focus on sunrises and sunsets - thanks to this, this photo expedition will be an unforgettable experience for you!
Why did we choose this date for the expedition? February is the time when Lofoten Islands are extremely photogenic. During this month we'll have a great chance to observe and photograph the aurora borealis. Simply put, february is the perfect time for a landscape photographer to visit this beautiful country.

PHOTOGRAPHING
NORTHERN LIGHTS
Aurora Borealis or "northern lights" is one of the most interesting phenomenon that occur in nature. February is the month when the Aurora is often visible in northern Norway. However, it cannot be promised. With a bit of luck, we will be able to see her in full force and thus include excellent night pieces in our portfolio.
IMPRESSIVE NORTHERN BEACHES
The area of northern Norway is full of beautiful beaches that make Lofoten special. During our expedition, we will visit the most beautiful of them. These include the famous Skagsanden beach, Haukland beach, or the popular Uttakleiv beach.
BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS
Shooting in the Norwegian fjords is an unforgettable experience. The spiky snow-capped peaks, majestic ocean and frozen lakes make this area a landscape photographer's paradise. Everywhere you look, you will see beautiful peaks rising directly from the ocean. It's hard to imagine an area with more photogenic main objects.
DISCOVERING HIDEN PLACES AND NEW SPOTS
Lofoten are also full of undiscovered landscapes that are waiting for someone to admire their beauty. During each expedition, we try to find several such unknown spots. Thanks to this, you will take away exceptional unseen photos from the expedition.
ACCOMMODATION IN TRADITIONAL NORWEGIAN CABINS
During our expedition, we will be staying in traditional Norwegian cabins on the edge of the sea. Thanks to this, you will have an even greater experience from the photo tour.

OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
Great workshop! It was my first group photography tour, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the organization and the relaxed atmosphere within the group. Everything was perfectly prepared, the theoretical presentations, and recordings of the post-processing are excellent. I gained a lot of new skills, and I thought I already knew quite a few things. Thank you very much for a fantastic tour, and I'm sure it won't be the last!
