Overview of the Photo Tour

Unspoilt, Unexplored, Unbelievable is what first comes to mind when we think of Faroe Islands. Faroe Islands or Land of Sheep consist of a total of 779 islands, islets & skerries with 18 being major islands. With a total population of around 50000, not yet popular with tourists, it’s a photographers’ paradise.

Its windswept mountains, crashing waves, and jagged coastlines make it a unique landscape to explore and shoot. If you are a hiker, then it’s a must visit place for you.

Come join us to explore the unparalleled, unexplored and totally virgin beauty called Faroe. We guarantee you will come back with images worth dying for.

Each registered participant will be requested to submit their landscape / portrait related images. Our panel will analyse each image to see how to guide each individual during the tour to help them enhance their skills.  We will also provide individual feedback to their each submitted image and suggest improvement points.

During the Tour:

Based on the analytical data available with us post “Pre Tour Analysis” we will provide individualized attention to all and ensure they work on their weaknesses and enhance their skills.
