About this tour

Embark on an exciting adventure and join me on this Landscape Photo Tour to the untouched and wild island of Senja!

Senja Island is located in the northernmost part of Norway and the country’s second biggest island. The wild and remote Senja archipelago has everything that you can dream of as photographer: impressive mountain ranges, crystal-clear fjords, rugged coastlines and picturesque fishing villages. It’s not far-fetched that Senja is often called “Norway in miniature”. Unlike the Lofoten Islands, Senja is still rather unknown and truly a hidden gem for photography!

Winter gives the majestic landscapes of Senja the extra little touch of beauty. The mountains are wrapped in a white robe of snow, the low sun gently illuminates the landscapes with a golden light and during the night, the magical Northern Lights are dancing at the sky.

For six days (incl. five nights), we will embrace our creativity on this photography journey through the Norwegian Arctic. My photography tour to Senja is aimed at photographers enthusiasts who want to photograph picturesque winter landscapes, majestic mountain formations and spectacular northern lights. This trip offers a combination of photography, adventure and culture with plenty of time for your own creativity.

We will visit the best photo locations between Tromsø to Senja where we will find numerous photo opportunities, including stunning places like Ersfjord, Husøy, Tungeneset, Bergsbotn, Bøvær, and Ånderdalen National Park.

At the end of February, we will have more than 9 hours of daylight for our photography. That gives us plenty of time for photographing and other activities. We will experience great lighting and atmospheric colors in the sky during the morning and evening hours. In the twilight of the day, with a bit of luck, we may also encounter wild animals such as moose or reindeer, which enliven the untouched nature of Senja. During the day, we have time to discuss the results of the shootings and to edit our photos together. I will show you my post processing workflow in Lightroom and how to enhance the effect of your photos fundamentally in just a few steps.

Together we will improve your photography skills and you will be able to create meaningful stories without any words – through photographs that speak for themselves. I make sure that you will have an unforgettable photography experience!
