& John Weatherby

The ultimate adventure for landscape photography enthusiasts.
Join us for a 7-day Faroe Islands photography workshop in a place that feels straight out of a fairytale. Our local expertise will ensure you discover hidden gems and iconic landscapes across this remote Arctic archipelago, capturing its raw beauty through your lens.
This Faroe Islands photo tour will take you to breathtaking locations like Drangarnir, Fossá, Kallur Lighthouse, Saksun, and lots of other known, (and unknown) locations, all guided by award-winning photo guides with deep local knowledge.
Experience the islands under the golden light when the sun dips just below the horizon, making Faroese summer nights feel endless. Our itinerary stays flexible so we can chase the best light and colors each day. Typically, you’ll be up early to capture sunrise and out past sunset, with daylight hours spent resting, editing in post-processing sessions, or shooting more if the conditions look promising.
Our expert photo guides will monitor weather forecasts, road conditions, and local insights to get you to the right place at the perfect time. Our goal is simple: to put you in the best locations with the best light for truly unforgettable shots.
Whether you’re an amateur or an experienced photographer, you’ll build an incredible portfolio while mastering new composition and editing techniques.
