I have organised exclusive, luxury photographic trips to this beautiful country over the past 6 years and organised around 10 trips to the Island during this time. Prior to this I have organised Events and Trips abroad since 2010.

I now run these events alongside; my photographer and husband Roger More. 

⭐Book your photography place!⭐

We are currently taking bookings for June 2024 onwards, which are offered on a first come first served basis. These trips are very popular and usually sell out quickly.

A deposit is needed to secure your place which will secure the Villa and Transport for the group for the week.

ANY level of photography experience is welcome. Just a camera, a passion for photography, creativity and a sense of humour!  

Each trip and photograph is extremely hard to replicate and you are guaranteed to come away with photographs to last a lifetime!  (Can you believe these images are hardly edited?! We came away with thousands of stunning images!)

⭐All inclusive, luxury and bespoke photography trip to Iceland!⭐

Our Iceland trips are fully bespoke to the team but generally include;

✨Six days and five nights luxurious photography trip to Iceland (or 7 days and 6 nights, dependant on season and travel to the Villa/Farmhouse from the airport)

✨A small photography group of a maximum of 6 photographers shooting with 2-3 models.

✨Each location and trip to Iceland is unique and set over one of the four seasons!

✨Accommodation in a Luxury Villa or Farmhouse on the Island 

(The photography above is an example of a beautiful Farmhouse in a Northern retreat we have recently booked. the Southern accommodation is more modern and luxurious. Depending on the climate and the time of year venues will differ from a Villa or Farmhouse/rural retreat. The more rural the more likely to see the Northern lights at specific times of year as further from light pollution)

✨Your own bedroom (*en-suite facilities may be catered for dependant on the season and accommodation available for the trip. For Villas/Farm House retreats rest rooms are usually shared)

✨Many of the properties also have a hottub on the property or natural springs nearby. Iceland is famous for this! 

✨Two or Three professional models modelling a mixture of Fashion, Lingerie and Fine Art Nude in the stunning Icelandic landscape.

✨Hair/Makeup, Wardrobe and Styling completed to a high standard using high quality studio makeup.

✨Wardrobe created and provided by a designer/s for the fashion themed events of the trip (or ones in public).

✨Transfers to and from the airports (*within schedule, can collect en route!)

✨A 4x4 air conditioned, chauffeured vehicle, available all week and on site for the group.

This is usually a very comfortable 9 seater vehicle similar to below. Travel and fuel is included for the duration of the trip;

✨Pre-scouted locations and extensive experience of Iceland with your hosts.

✨Spontaneous visits to locations around the Island (always researched prior)

✨ A tour guide or a model with local knowledge of Iceland.

✨A large and luxurious weekly food shop, for self-catering for the week.

✨The Villa or Farmhouse is self catering and it is a home from home environment. 

✨ All food (self catering) is included and the accommodation is fully stocked with all food and essentials! We are able to accommodate special requests and dietary requirements. Food is expensive in Iceland- a large food shop is completed at the beginning of the trip and replaced when needed.

✨Plenty of amazing landscape photography opportunities in and outside of modelling hours.

✨Downtime and relaxation opportunities at the villa either side of the shoot days 

✨Time to reschedule to other days in case of extreme weather.

✨Tourism opportunities dependant on season and location (Blue Lagoon is recommended!) There are many natural hot springs.

✨A chance to see the Northern Lights (Weather/Season dependant)

✨An exclusive surprise for the team (to be revealed on landing!)

⭐Going the extra mile - be our guest!⭐

We occasionally offer photographers the opportunity to stay as our guest at our home in Wiltshire the evening before the flight, to wine and dine and bond with the group prior to take off.

*This is usually offered if more convenient for the group and is dependant on the groups locations/flying schedules. Each trip is unique.

If staying with us you will share chauffeured transport with us in a taxi to (and from) the airport in the morning at no extra cost! Your vehicle will be left at our home.

This saves you the stress of having to drive to the airport and parking fees.

It is also a lovely introduction to members of the photography group.

Alternatively, we are very happy to meet you at the airport or en route.

Terms and kind advice on travel and safety;

* Be our guest and let us do all of the hard work for you! You just need to book your flights, luggage and insurance- which is often low cost if booked in advance!

On booking any photography event abroad we highly recommended that you have insurance for your photography equipment which you are solely responsible for.

Travel Insurance is mandatory on these photographic trips- in the case you are taken ill or have an accident during the trip. All photographers and creatives taking part in trips abroad will need to sign a general terms agreement and waiver to declare that they are in good health for the photography adventure.

We have full liability insurance for all trips.

For those with disabilities or existing health conditions; You are very welcome to book onto the trip with the advice of your doctor. There is generally not alot of walking involved (unless you would like there to be  ) and our hired vehicle is always within a short walk away with a full First Aid kit and supplies on board.

We take the safety and wellbeing of photographers and models very seriously to Iceland- it is a beautiful landscape but must be respected.

We really hope to see you on a future trip!

Helen Diaz and Roger More.
