Join international award-winning Fine-Art Photographer Marc Koegel for this unique Photo Tour opportunity, traveling through the majestic landscape of Iceland to photograph mighty waterfalls, lighthouses and more.

Iceland is only a short 3 hours from London (or 5 hours from Toronto and/or NYC, Boston). This exclusive workshop is limited to only 7 participants and includes 3 nights luxury accomodation, all breakfasts and all travel (even airport transfers).

Marc fine-art photographs of waterfalls and lighthouses from Iceland have won several international awards. This workshop will focus on the many incredible waterfalls, but we'll also stop at lighthouses and other amazing sites like the black beaches in Vik and Jökulsárlón (the glacier lagoon).

Iceland is a landscape photographers dream come true! The small group will ensure personal service and individual support and guidance of the highest level. Marc will demonstrate how he photographed his award-winning images, and in addition to photographing during the day we"ll have time to review our images in the evenings together as well. Partipants can choose to photograph in black and white or color, using digital or film. Marc will demonstrate his long exposure style of shooting, but images can be taken using any technique you're interested in and familiar with.
