ICELAND PHOTO TOUR & WORKSHOP
11 Days Iceland.
Thursday 27th October 2022 - Sunday 6th November 2022
for only €1000
Following Magritte, 'surreal' is the word I'll use to describe magical Iceland.
Often on many people's top bucket lists, Iceland woos nature lovers and photographers.
With its insane pictureistique landscapes, friendly locals and incredible natural phenomenons, it makes you want to jump on the next plane to Reykjavik.
You''ll also hear the word 'Expensive' that rhymes with Iceland. Sadly, that rings true. With Creatif Photo Tour, we will be doing a self drive and sharing costs among like minded photographers who are also travellers. This will help make Iceland more budget friendly without burning a big hole in your pocket while leaving some extra money for your future adventures!
With our small intimate group, we explore Iceland, the lonely lava plains, steaming hillock, spurty geysers and feisty volcanoes is where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates collide.
And yes, I forgot to mention - We'll spend the nights chasing the illusive Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights!
Places are limited to 5 participants only.
* Usual fee €1250. Early booking before 30th September 2021 at €1100.
COVID19UPDATE
Like almost everyone else, COVID19 has certainly be challenging for me. In view of the ever changing conditions, this photo workshop is tentatively planned to take place with flexible booking conditions.
This will depend on latest governmental regulations and as well as local conditions.
Hygiene measures are in place. Your health and safety are my top priorities.

Tour participant's profile
- You are a free independent traveller with a lust for adventure and photography. Most things are taken care of. Relax and enjoy yourself.
- Bummer..... You should have some basic knowledge about photography, understand exposure and handling your camera (not on full auto). If you are currently shooting on full auto or would like a refreshal, it is highly recommended that you join my photography workshop in Brussels before leaving on this trip.
- Another one....Be willing to stay up late at night as this is where the action is. Photography is more important than sleep!
- The last.... Be reasonably fit as it involves walking and light treks.
- Distances can be far and long. There will be driving time of 2-3 hours at a stretch and you should be comfortable about this.
- Unlike other tours, where there is 'space and private time', For the 11 days Iceland tour, you will be travelling with the same people, sharing the same space with not many options of you being by yourself. It is important that you fit the travel profile.
- You are easy going, enjoy meeting people and making new friends. You are considerate and tolerant
while travelling with others. We are a small group of up to 5 photographers and I want everyone to have a wonderful time with me. Be zen about life and accept the unexpected as part and parcel of having memorable moments!
- Like me, you are passionate about travel photography and wish to get amazing photos and not snap shots!
