Itinerary
Sunrise
We will visit some epic locations for early mornings and sunrise.
Locations will vary depending on the weather & light.
Day
We will find a suitable location to stop for lunch. The day will be spent traveling to different location, the more we can do the better, all this is weather permitting as the Faroe Islands has its own weather system.
Sunset
We round off the day with a sunset shoot depending on our location, timings vary according to time of year and of land we are on.
We will aim to get to somewhere good for sunset, and to make the most of the time we have together.
Your shooting day will end after sunset, and then we will head back to look at image and critique.
Evening
Evening dinner will be another shared affair, as eating out is not really an option on the Faroe Islands.
Andrei will have his laptop at hand and we can do some light critiquing in the evening as we unwind ready for the next day. We will be in one house so this time will be to share and chat, making friends and or just chilling out in your rooms and getting some sleep.
If there is a chance for the Northern Lights there will be the chance to go back out and capture the night sky.
