At our workshops, everyone is welcome, and we mean everyone! Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting your photography journey, we've designed our experiences to cater to every skill level and gear setup. Our goal is to help you get the absolute most out of your time with us.

To fully enjoy our workshop, good health and moderate fitness are essential, as we'll embark on some invigorating hikes to reach those perfect shooting spots. Don't worry, we won't be scaling mountains. Instead, we'll follow well-defined paths or navigate gently sloping surfaces like grass and moss.

While we don't impose strict requirements, we do offer some valuable recommendations. We strongly recommend investing in sturdy leather hiking boots that provide ankle support – a must for ensuring your comfort and safety.

When it comes to camera gear, we suggest a high-quality tripod system that can stand up to a breeze without wobbling. In terms of lenses, versatility is key. Aim for a good range, ideally spanning from 16mm to 200mm, to capture the diverse landscapes of the Faroe Islands.

The golden rule for your gear is portability. You'll want a reliable camera backpack that can securely hold all your equipment and provide easy access while you're on the move.

Rest assured, we'll send you a comprehensive gear recommendation list with your confirmation email after signing up. And if you have any questions about your gear before committing, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to ensure you have everything you need for an incredible photography adventure!
