6 Days Landscape Photography Tour to Swedish Lapland (November 2025)
Description
Lapland in the northernmost part of Scandinavia impresses with majestic mountain peaks, crystal-clear lakes and thundering waterfalls. With its untouched landscapes, it is not for nothing that this region is often referred to as Europe's last wilderness!
When winter arrives in Swedish Lapland, this region turns into a true paradise for nature and landscape photography! The first snow has already fallen and is covering the mountain landscapes of Lapland in a white robe. Waterfalls, rivers and lakes begin to freeze and offer great subjects for your photography.
For six days (incl. five nights), we will embrace our creativity at some of the best photo locations in the the area between Kiruna and Abisko that offers numerous photo opportunities: from breathtaking nature of Abisko National Park to fascinating ice formations and small fishing huts at the shores of the large mountain lake Torneträsk.
Although the days are already relatively short (approx. 5 hours of daylight), they offer great lighting and atmospheric colors in the sky that can last all day long. 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 Lapland. 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!
Disclaimer: Even if there are very good chances to get certain winter conditions and to experience the Northern Lights at the locations we are visiting, I cannot guarantee neither one nor the other. What you can be certain about is that I will do my very best to provide you an amazing experience even if we face difficult conditions!
