Early August 2021 was and forever will be a special memory in my mind. Finally going back to Iceland for a photography workshop. After all this time at home (well, just a year, but it felt like muuuch longer) I got to travel again and co-host a photography workshop together with my good friend Páll Jökull. And East Iceland was on the menu.

Together with two amazing clients we’ve explored East Iceland all the way from South to North, and even went inland a little bit here and there. This part of the country was new for me, so I was obviously super pumped to get out there and see new places.

It was special, emotional and everything and more I hoped it to be. To be out in the field with Páll and teaching compositions, timing your shots, several technical aspects together with him is exactly what I needed after feeling quite down and out for a long time. The fact that we always have a tiny and very private/personal group really adds to the great feeling of our tours. It feels like being out with friends and when everyone is likeminded and has the same goal beautiful things are bound to happen. Behind and in front of our cameras. Below are some shots from the trip. Make sure to click them to see them in their original aspect ratio.

Thank you for watching and reading!

I will be updating my Iceland Gallery on my website soon, and there will be loads of photographs from this trip on other blogposts and on my social media: Instagram, Facebook and such.

And of course I did bring my drone, and shoot some video. Here’s the first video of one of the waterfalls we’ve visited and photographed during this workshop. There will be more video and drone footage coming up later on once I’ve gotten round to editing and putting everything together.
