Faroe Islands Photography Workshops with Steve Walton

Our Faroe Islands photography workshop scheduled for 8th-15th April 2021 is cancelled due to Covid-19.  

Faroe Islands Photography Workshops

Join our small group on 8th-15th April 2021 for this dramatic Wild Light Faroe Islands Landscape & Seascape Photography Workshop.

The Faroe Islands may be small in area, but you’ll find dramatic views at every turn and we will cover a lot of ground on this tour.  Our accommodation is high quality hotel en-suite single occupancy for 7 nights at Hotel Streym in Torshavn. Breakfasts are included .

Alcoholic drinks, lunches, snacks and evening meals are not included.  Special dietary requirements can be catered for. We will usually dine together in the evenings, or you may wish to try one of the restaurants in Torshavn if you prefer.  The hotel is situated near the town centre, the administrative centre of Tinganes and the Marina are close by and fascinating areas to explore.  Centre Stay is the perfect base for our Faroe Islands photography workshop.

We will travel to the extremities of the group of Islands that are connected by bridges and sub sea tunnels during the workshop.  Our groups are intentionally small in number and restricted to three attendees for maximum personal attention, no single supplements apply.

Transport to all photography locations for the duration of the workshop with guiding and personal tuition is by Steve Walton.  Image reviews are held the evenings for those who feel they would benefit from this.

This extensive tour will give you a Faroe Islands experience to remember with dramatic mountain landscapes and impressive seascapes, changing light and weather and the unique culture, flora and fauna and settlements of the islands.  Those who have travelled with me before on previous Wild Light Photography Workshops will know my penchant for spontaneity and there is always room for the unexpected ‘off piste’ excursion to seek out hidden gems and local people.

Getting to and from the Workshop

Our 2021 Wild Light Faroe Islands photography workshop begins at 9.15am on 8th April.  Direct scheduled return flights from Edinburgh and Heathrow to Vagar are operated by Atlantic Airways (flights are not included in the cost of the workshop). 

Flights can often be fully booked quite far ahead and are more expensive closer to departure dates, so it is a good idea to book your return flights as soon as possible.  Other destinations from Vagar usually involve stopovers in Copenhagen, some of which are quite lengthy and you may need overnight accommodation.

The workshop ends on 15th April 2021.    Please note that additional accommodation and airport transfers are not included in the cost of the workshop if you intend to extend your stay. Hotel Streym is a popular hotel and rooms book up well in advance, so be sure to reserve your room or other accommodation if you are extending your stay outside of the workshop dates. 

To reserve your place on my next Faroe Islands landscape & seascape photography workshop, please contact me on +44 (0) 7479516276,  email steve@stevewaltonphotography.info or submit the contact form.  Numbers are restricted to a maximum of three participants and it is advisable to book early to secure your place on this popular workshop.
