The Incredible Lofoten, Norway - Photography Workshop with Marc Koegel - February 20 to 26, 2022
This workshop is open for registration - only 2 seats left available!
For this fantastic photo tour, join Marc Koegel to photograph the Lofoten, the spectacular archipelago in the northern part of Norway with its imposing snowy peaks and rugged fjords.
For 2022, this workshop is limited to only 5 participants (2 seats left available as of October 25, 2021). In addition to this small group and lots of individual attention, we will be staying at the luxurious Nusfjord Arctic Resort. Set at the waterfront in a traditional fishing village, this hotel offers authentic luxury cabins. But what really set its apart is its central location - amazing photography locations are only a short trip away, maximizing our time photographing.
Marc's photographs of the area have won numerous international awards, and his work has also been featured on the Phase One website as well as Petapixel.com
For photographers, the Lofoten are an endless source of inspiration, famous for the midnight sun, rugged coastlines, and a unique combination of turquoise water, snow-white sand and imposing snow-covered mountain peaks – those elements can often be seen all wrapped up in a single photograph.
In the winter, storms are frequent on the Lofoten, and the weather can change several times within a single hour – which makes photographing here all the more fascinating yielding photographs with incredible diversity.
This workshop is not meant to be a tour of the 'iconic' locations of the Lofoten (although we will visit some of those locations as well). Most of those tours end up giving you very little time at each location and that will show in your work. Instead, we will focus on deeper explorations, visiting locations more than once and with more time to photograph. We will also spend time reviewing and discussing our work, both during the trip as well as afterwards using a private online forum.
Marc's work is predominately black and white but you are welcome (even encouraged) to work in color as well. Both digital and film photographers are welcome.
Aurora:
In February, the northern lights (aurora borealis) are a very frequent site, giving us a great opportunity to extend our photographic activities well into the night. Our central location gives us quick access to many locations so all we need is a bit of luck -:)
Pandemic Policy:
To participate in this workshop, we expect everyone to be fully vaccinated (please bring proof with you). We will spend the majority of our time outside, but please bring a medical grade mask with you to wear when we are spending time indoors together. You are also encouraged to wear it during our travels together in vehicles.
Rest assured, should we have to cancel this workshop due to pandemic related concerns, everyone will receive a full credit of all monies paid. Despite this, we encourage everyone to get full travel insurance.
