Lofoten Photo Workshop 2026

In our Lofoten Islands Photo Tour, we spend a week photographing the incredible scenery of the Arctic archipelago. Norway’s Lofoten Islands are a dreamlike landscape of rugged mountain peaks rising up from the deep blue sea. Located 169 kilometres within the Arctic Circle, Lofoten is a land where the midnight sun circles the summer sky without setting, and does not rise at all during the dark months of winter, making for incredible lighting. With the northern lights dancing over the islands from September to April and the temperate currents of the gulf stream softening the deep freeze of the Arctic, Lofoten has become a coveted winter photography destination in recent years. And beyond the landscape, the coast of Lofoten is lined with scenic fishing villages and their traditional Rorbu cabins, often perilously situated along the rocky shoreline.

We will split our base camps between Sakrisøy in the Reine area, with glacial carved granite peaks at our doorstep, and Hattvika Lodge in Ballstad, Lofoten’s largest working fishing village to this day. In both locations, we stay in traditional Rorbuer cabins, used by generations of Lofoten’s fishermen. From each location, we are only a stone’s throw away from innumerable photo opportunities, and at times, we may simply choose to go and explore by foot. Should the weather cooperate with clear skies at night, we’ll have many locations within reach for photographing the dance of the northern lights as they fill the sky over snowy mountain peaks and wild beaches.
