ICELAND WORKSHOP - SOUTH AND EAST, INTIMATE AND EPIC

the highly successful tour is coming back!

February 5 - 12, 2025

Conditions were perfect on our third visit to this spot in Jan. 2024 and all our workshop members got their diamond beach golden images

Experience Iceland on this genuinely magnificent winter tour! It features iconic locations and hidden gems. Kai has offered Iceland Winter workshops for years. In 2025, you can go on this highly successful tour that overwhelms even returning visitors to Iceland.

While many Iceland tours cover just the iconic locations, this tour will guide you further!

All with a small group of just 6 people, our own bus and local guide/driver plus Kai and his assistant Sabrina.

Expect to see and photograph unique locations! A small group guarantees dedicated and personal assistance.

Capture classics and personal, intimate images together with me. Whether you are an experienced photographer or have just learned to handle your camera, I will gladly help you capture your photographs.

After the hugely successful Iceland winter workshops in the last years, I will return to Iceland to kick off 2025. Again, I will team up with our official Icelandic guide and driver, David. He has been an official guide for decades and pours his knowledge, heart, and humor into our tour. 

We will tour the beautiful south of Iceland. Most tours do not go further east than Vestrahorn, but we will take it further east and see less photographed locations. We will stay in several hotels and guesthouses close to our designated photo locations and travel in a comfortable small bus.

We will cover many iconic locations, such as Skógafoss, the ice lagoon Jökulsárlón, Stokksness, and Reynisdrangar, and have an unforgettable experience inside an ice cave. But we will not only focus on those locations; we will also get to see some hidden gems that will even make frequent Iceland travellers jealous!

We will visit an ice-cave. This image was taken during one of the last workshops in Iceland.

Iceland in winter is all about conditions so that we will decide and adapt throughout the days.

If you haven’t seen the northern lights yet, be ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We cannot guarantee seeing the aurora, but chances are good we will get to see them during our week-long stay.

Aside from the beautiful environment, this trip will be all about having a great experience and having fun.

I believe landscape photography to be a way of personal expression. It is an art form. Therefore, I will go with a small group of max. 6 to 7 people to get to know each other, develop your personal vision, and help you find your visual language that is really you. I will cover what you need to know in the field and the digital darkroom. You should be able to master your camera. Aside from that, this tour is for beginners and advanced photographers. It helps you see the landscape with different eyes and makes images yours.

This tour will be in German and English.
