Elevate your photography to new heights!

We’re excited to announce the launch of our second workshop series, ‘Drone & Discover.’
Our first adventure began in 2024 in Iceland – arguably the one location that rules them all when it comes to breathtaking, epic landscapes, especially when viewed from the air! And now it´s time to explore it even further!

Why attend Drone & Discover: Arctic Aerials?
Drone photography has taken the world by storm, offering a unique and creative way to capture the world.
– Are you a photographer looking to add a new skill to your toolkit?
– Maybe you’re new to photography and looking for a fun, exciting, and innovative hobby.
– Have you already dabbled in drone photography but need more confidence, feel like your work lacks that wow factor, or want to take your aerial photography and cinematography to the next level?
– Or are you an experienced drone photographer with Iceland at the top of your cinematography bucket list?

Whether you are a beginner, a casual hobbyist, or an experienced drone photographer/videographer, this workshop caters to all skill levels. From the basics to advanced techniques, we’ve got you covered!

During this workshop, we will do multiple shoots throughout the day, taking breaks as needed to recharge our drone batteries.

Note that in September, it is possible to shoot the northern lights so you are welcome to bring camera for astro as well.

Our guides will monitor weather forecasts, sunrise/sunset times, road conditions, and any other factors and plan the days to optimize shooting conditions. We will prioritize hands-on, practical learning on location during conditions over classroom/post-processing training.

Ultimately, our goal is to put you in the best locations at the right time with the best light so you can capture fantastic images.

Join us for ten days to Drone & Discover Iceland, where we’ll take you to incredible locations for lots of hands-on, practical learning catered to your experience level and goals!
