Trip Information

Group Size:  Maximum size of 10; minimum size of 7.

Start/End:  The trip begins in and concludes in Reykjavik, Iceland, from where you will return to Europe directly or North America via Iceland. We'll be so immersed in working with our models in the Icelandic countryside for our entire time as a group, that we have left no time to enjoy all the sights of Reykjavik city, so we encourage you to stay in Reykjavik for a couple days on your own, before and after the tour.  Neither will photographing landscapes around Iceland be a priority for us, so also consider adding time to you trip for traditional landscape photography. 

Included: 

  • Minimum 3 professional art / nude models with us the entire trip, including Icelandic and foreign female models. 
  • 3 leaders - one principal photographic mentor and photography instructor, one location guide/driver/assistant photographic instructor, and one dedicated assistant for wardrobe/lighting/models
  • All photographic opportunities and professional mentoing
  • All ground transportation and guiding
  • Models' wardrobes including loaned articles from boutiques around the world
  • All meals and food except lunch (breakfasts provided by our guesthouses; and excellent restaurants for dinner)
  • Accommodation for 7 nights. Accommodation will be chosen based on optimal locations to photograph, and will vary including country bed and breakfasts and hotels. Prices are based on double occupancy -- optional single supplement may be available for an added $90/night.
