About this workshop
In this photo workshop, we will explore Iceland’s magnificent braided glacier rivers and capture the stunning twisted landscapes from above.
You will learn to photograph with your drone. We’ll teach you everything you need to know, from unboxing to takeoff and landing to capturing stunning photographs. This workshop offers detailed tutoring on drone use with a drone specialist and a local guide with extensive drone experience.
We’ll travel to exclusive locations in Iceland along the South Coast to explore the numerous locations we have discovered and scouted through the years, capturing hidden abstract gems with our drones.
Multiple locations will be available, with stunning braided glacial rivers flowing over the sand in different colors and contrasts. These unique landscapes are every photographer’s dream.
In this workshop, we’ll have a small group of a maximum of eight photographers. This will give everyone ample space to fly their drone and get one-on-one time with their instructor. We’ll travel in one of our custom 4×4 Sprinter vans with a charging station so that you can charge your drone batteries on the go.
This is a unique workshop that strongly focuses on the beauty of glacier rivers and the endless photography opportunities they offer.
