DOG PHOTOGRAPHY ADVENTURE IN ICELAND

Schedule & Locations

DAY 1 – Sunday, August 10

11 am: I’ll be picking everyone up between 11 am and 12:00, either at Keflavik Airport (P1) or just outside Reykjavik—whichever is more convenient for you!

Tip: I suggest arriving in Iceland at least a day earlier to avoid any stress from flight delays or cancellations. Since our first cottage is a 2-hour drive away, I won’t be able to arrange later pick-ups.

After we’ve all met, we’ll hit the road to our first lodge in South Iceland!

On the way, we’ll stop for a bite at a café and grab some groceries for the trip. It’s going to be a great start to our adventure!

Before we head out to photograph our beautiful models, I’d love to take some time to share a few key tips to help you capture the best shots. If you’re unsure about any camera settings, we can go over those together, or we can chat about anything else you’d like to discuss!

We will visit the following location with dog models: Gluggafoss.

1 pm – 3 pm: Lunch break at Hótel Skógafoss.

For the rest of the day, we can either relax or dive into some editing—totally up to how you’re feeling (ps: there is a jacuzzi)

We’ll also pack up for our transfer to the next cottage, which will bring us closer to our upcoming shooting spots.

12 pm – 2 pm: Lunch break in Vik, the perfect chance to refuel and enjoy the local atmosphere.

2 pm – 4 pm: Due to the tides at Reynisfjara, we might schedule an additional shoot at 2 pm to safely explore the surroundings and make the most of our visit.

4 pm – 5 pm: Journey to the new cottage further East.

DAY 5 – Thursday, August 14

After the photoshoot, we’ll take a break at a cozy coffee spot to recharge before heading back to our cottage!

7 pm – 9 pm: Organized photo session.

For our last session, we’ll explore the lush mossy lava fields and the beautiful Stjórnarfoss waterfall, which are just steps away from our cottage in the Eldhraun lava field.

DAY 7 – Saturday, August 16
