My 8-day photographer’s itinerary in the Lofoten Islands (September)

In September, we spent eight days in Northern Norway, with two nights in Bodø and six days exploring the Lofoten Islands. We flew from Zürich to Bodø with Edelweiss, which is a very convenient option if you are travelling from Switzerland and want to start a road trip in the north of Norway. From Bodø, you can easily take the ferry to Moskenes and begin your Lofoten adventure. This route worked really well for us and allowed us to combine a first stop near Bodø with several days in the Lofoten, where we focused entirely on landscape photography. September turned

Lanzarote Photography Itinerary – 5 Days in the Canary Islands

In May 2025, I visited the Canary Islands for the first time and chose Lanzarote for one simple reason: its volcanic soul. I had seen photos of black sand, jagged cliffs, and rust-colored craters. I imagined a wild island, maybe even something close to Mordor from The Lord of the Rings. But when I arrived, I discovered a different Lanzarote. One that was not only powerful, but also sensitive, welcoming, and unexpectedly gentle. The volcanic rocks shifted from deep reds to blacks, with soft hues of orange and ash in between. The beaches were raw and magnetic. Some of the sea

My 10-day photographer’s itinerary in South Iceland (fall 2024)

At the end of September and beginning of October 2024, I spent 10 days exploring Iceland for the very first time. My goal was simple: capture the beauty of the Icelandic landscapes through my lens. I focused mainly on the west and south of the country, chasing dramatic light, unique compositions, and peaceful moments in nature. In this article, I’m sharing my full 10-day itinerary, designed for landscape photographers. You’ll find Google Maps links to the photo spots I visited, tips about accommodations, and practical advice to plan your own trip. I also include insights about the Northern Lights, lesser-known

A 10-Day Azores Itinerary for Landscape Photography – São Miguel, Pico & Terceira

Volcanic lakes hidden in emerald craters. Blue hydrangeas lining narrow roads. Clouds drifting over dramatic cliffs. The Azores are one of the most beautiful and underrated destinations in Europe for landscape photography. This remote Portuguese archipelago lies in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Each of its nine islands has a unique atmosphere, with shifting light, lush vegetation and raw volcanic textures. In summer 2024, I spent 10 days exploring three of them: São Miguel, Pico and Terceira. With my camera in hand, I chased misty mornings, colorful sunsets and silent moments by the ocean. In this article, I share

7-Day Spring Photography Itinerary in the Faroe Islands (April Guide)

The Faroe Islands had been on my mind for years, and in April 2023 I finally spent 7 days exploring this remote North Atlantic archipelago. I deliberately chose to visit in late April, during spring. At that time of year, the islands are far less crowded than in summer, accommodation prices are often lower, and some of the most popular photography locations can feel surprisingly empty. For photographers, April is a fantastic season. The weather is dramatic and constantly changing, waterfalls are flowing strongly, and there is still a chance of seeing the northern lights on clear nights. The days
