The Faroe Islands Photography Workshop opens the world of the forgotten Faroes. The Faroe Islands are just a short flight from Iceland, yet they?re way off the standard traveller?s radar. Adrift in the frothing swells of the North Atlantic, this mysterious 18-piece jigsaw puzzle of islands is at once ancient and very modern. In this workshop, we will focus on the landscape of the islands along with the magnificent Atlantic puffin that nests all over the island.
On the Faroe Islands Photography Workshop, you are never more than 5km (3 miles) away from the ocean. The countryside is dominated by steep mountains, where about 80,000 sheep roam and some 2 million pairs of seabirds, including puffins, gannets and the largest colony of storm petrels in the world, soar above. The Faroe Islands are undeniably beautiful? green, rugged and wind-swept.

A Little Bit About the Workshop:
This is a guideline for the workshop we need to be flexible and adjust to the weather and conditions. If places are not accessible, unsafe, or closed they will be excluded. As always when traveling we need to be mindful of nature, follow dedicated paths and other safety instructions from guides.
Day 1 ? Arrival in Faroe Islands
Arrival in the Faroe Islands and check into the airport hotel, it?s in walking distance from the airport. A welcome dinner for the group to get to know each other. We?ll go over the itinerary and prepare for our adventure. Followed by a sunset shoot.
Days 2 ? 4 ? Faroe Islands V?gar
We?ll explore the landscapes of V?gar for the next three days. Mountain views, waterfalls, lakes, old fishing villages, village of B?ur and Tindh?lmur islet. We will visit to Mykines Islands, if weather permits.
Days 5 ? 7 ? Streymoy & Eysturoy
On day five, we will relocate to town of Gj?gv. For the next three days we will explore neighboring islands, the capital T?rshavn, the southernmost town Kirkjub?ur on Streymoy, ruins from Magnus Cathedral form the 1300?s, churches, farmhouses, and, of course, plenty of beautiful landscapes.
