The remote Lofoten Islands in Norway offer excellent opportunities for photography due to their gentle winter illumination and stunning mountainous landscapes emerging from the surrounding waters.

Lofoten islands: Tales of the North, February 10th to 17th, is currently sold out. The event will be led by renowned photographer Daniel Kordan.

The Lofoten Islands, located in Northwest Norway, are situated above the Arctic Circle. The islands offer picturesque vistas with their profound fjords, rugged peaks, sandy beaches, and charming crimson fisherman huts, making them an ideal destination for photography enthusiasts.

Particularly during the month of February, when the gentle winter illumination enhances the visual appeal of objects.

Guide to Winter Photography on a Road Trip to the Lofoten Islands by Expert Vagabond

In order to get stunning photographs of the breathtaking landscapes in this remarkable region of Norway, I opted to lease a vehicle and embarked on a 10-day expedition throughout the Lofoten Islands, armed with my camera. I embarked on a quest to witness the elusive phenomenon of the Northern Lights, discovered secluded beaches that were not easily visible, and traversed through thick layers of snow during my hiking expeditions.

The winter season in Lofoten offers excellent conditions for photography due to the limited daylight and the prolonged duration of sunrises and sunsets. Constantly witnessing the aurora and the pristine, snow-covered hills is merely an added advantage.
