Faroe Islands Photo Tour 2025
The rugged and wild landscapes of the Faroe Islands have gained international attention and it's not without reason that photographers are opening their eyes for it. Join this unforgettable adventure as we explore the very best locations of the islands.
Faroe Islands Photo Tour
Imagine standing on the edge of a dramatic cliff overlooking the vast Atlantic Ocean, capturing the ethereal beauty of the Faroe Islands with your camera. If you’re passionate about photography and crave the thrill of exploring untamed landscapes, this Faroe Islands Photo Tour is your gateway to a photographic adventure like no other.
During this 7-day tour we will visit and explore some of the most picturesque locations these rugged and dramatic islands have to offer. The weather on the Faroe Islands is quickly changing, meaning we can be treated with world-class light all day long.
Early May offers a unique opportunity to witness the Faroe Islands in all its glory. The weather is dramatic, and the popular tourist spots are noticeably quieter. It’s a time for epic shots and unforgettable experiences.
I believe in the power of small, intimate groups. With a maximum of 6 participants, you’ll have the privilege of personalized, one-on-one instruction both in the field and during post-processing. The goal is for you to return home with images you’re proud of, a better understanding of landscape photography, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Itinerary
Flexibility is a key ingredient in having a successful visit to the Faroe Islands. The itinerary is, to a certain extent, in the hands of Mother Nature. The conditions are ever-changing because of the many local weather systems. This means light can change within minutes and kilometers.
That’s why I always work with a very flexible schedule, but locations such as Gjógv, Gásadalur, Trælanípa, Saksun, Tjørnuvík, Funningur, Nordradalur, and Sornfelli, plus many more, are on the list.
We will also spend a full day exploring the incredible Suduroy, the southernmost island. This is a gem for landscape photography and offers a wide range of incredible views.
Keep in mind that this is a full-on photography tour. That means we have an action packed trip beginning right after pickup on Day 1. While activities are mainly planned around sunrise and sunset, expect to be out chasing the light during the day too.
The Faroe Islands are packed with locations, so the weather and light conditions will decide where we will go.
