Every nature lover should see aurora borealis at least once in their lives. Likewise, every landscaper should have at least one photo of it in their portfolio. Now you have a great opportunity! Do not miss the photographic expedition "WINTER LOFOTS", which will take place in a place where this rare phenomenon occurs very often - in the beautiful fjords of the Norwegian Lofoten. Lofoten is a place full of traditional fishing villages, majestic rocky peaks towering directly from the ocean and endless rocky beaches. Especially in winter, when the mountains and cliffs are covered with fresh snow, this place is a real paradise for a landscape photographer. In addition to photographing the aurora borealis, we will of course also focus on sunrises and sunsets - thanks to that, this photo-expedition will be an unforgettable experience for you!
WHAT'S AHEAD OF THE EXPEDITION?
HOT AND FJORD PHOTOS
Taking photos in the Norwegian fjords is an unforgettable experience. The pointed snow-capped peaks, majestic ocean and frozen lakes make this area a paradise for the landscape photographer.
PHOTO SESSION
AURORY
Aurora Borealis or "aurora borealis" is one of the most interesting phenomena that occur in nature. February is the month when Aurora becomes extremely visible in the Lofoten region. But it is not possible to promise. With a little luck, we will be able to see it in full force and thus include excellent night pieces in our portfolio.
... AND MANY MORE
Why didn't I provide a specific day-to-day shipping schedule? It's not possible in Lofoten. Especially in winter. We will be governed mainly by the weather and conditions. But your lecturers will be two experienced photographers who know where it pays to go under what conditions. You can be sure that this photo-expedition will be an experience for you that you will not forget for the rest of your life! You will gain not only experiences but also interesting photographs and a lot of new experience and valuable knowledge in the field of landscape photography. :-)
LECTURERS WHO WILL ACCOMPANY YOU:
My name is Filip Hrebenda. I am a photographer focused on artistic photography of the landscape, especially mountain areas. My work is characterized by the sensitive use of colorful colors that are found in nature. With these colors, interesting light, and working with creative composition I try my best to transfer the atmosphere of the photographed sites to the viewer. This is exactly the ability I want to pass on to each participant in a workshop, course or expedition. I got to take photos years ago due to my relationship with the mountains and nature, which I had since I was little. Because I live in an area that is located close to
Filip Hrebenda
Slovak national parks and nice mountains, I spent a lot of time in them. Therefore, I decided that these places are worth capturing in their full beauty. After a few years, based on several successes, it has become a hobby, a profession I currently live. I am one of the members of the prestigious "Association of Professional Photographers of Slovakia" (APFSR). I also represent several brands in the field of photography (NiSi Filters, CEWE, FocusNordic, Sirui, Vallerret, Lexar and Hähnel). For years, I have been mainly organizing photo courses and expeditions, which take place both in Slovakia and in several parts of the world. What fascinates me most about this job is that I find myself in really beautiful places surrounded by wildlife. In addition, to transmit their experiences people I directly enjoy "in the field".
My name is Marian Kuric. I was born in 1981 in Lučenec, a small town in the south of Slovakia. I became interested in photography in 2011. At first only with the desire to capture nice moments from trips or families. Later, the desire to improve was added, either at the place of the photo shoot or in the processing of the photo as such. Such a classic story, when a hobby becomes a mission that makes me willing to sleep outside in the winter, in the rain, the wind and several nights in a row. I am currently organizing photo courses and expeditions. I cooperate with the VFFoto brand - a manufacturer of photographic filters.
