Autumn in West/North Iceland 2027 (with Mads Peter Iversen) Photo Workshop
OPEN FOR BOOKINGS
Join Mads Peter Iversen & Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove on an epic autumn adventure to the western and northern regions of Iceland. On this trip you will get to see why Iceland is captivating so many photographers around the world. During this workshop we will visit the Snæfellsnes peninsula with all its famous highlights and continue from there towards the picturesque northern region around Lake Mývatn. The most colorful slow-changing sunsets & sunrises, a whole line-up of the most epic waterfalls, iconic mountains, secret hotspot areas and a new and unique canyon are just some of the few highlights we get a chance to experience during the day. All covered in beautiful autumn colors. While at night, if we’re lucky, we will see the sky fill up with intense northern lights dancing overhead. Experiencing Iceland in autumn is a must for any landscape photographer!

Please note that the itinerary is always subject to change depending on the weather conditions we are faced with.
Day 1 (01/10/2027) – Arrival in Reykjavík
The workshop begins when we meet at the hotel on the evening of October 1st. To break the ice, we will go out for a welcome dinner so we can get to know each other a bit better.
Day 2-3 (02-03/10/2027) – Exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula
We leave Reykjavík behind us and set out to explore the Snæfellsnes peninsula. In the first two days, we will explore and photograph some of the highlights of “mini-iceland” as the Snaefellsnes peninsula is called. Kirkjufell mountain, the black church of Búðir, Lóndrangar sea stacks and the coastline along Arnarstapi are just some of the highlights of this area.
Day 4-6 (04-06/10/2027) – Exploring the North
On day four we will make the drive towards the picturesque lake Mývatn. Here we will visit some of Iceland’s most incredible waterfalls like Dettifoss, Selfoss, Góðafoss and Aldeyjarfoss along with other locations like Hverfjall, the characteristic Stuðlagil canyon and a secret hotspot area. There’s plenty more to be photographed but we won’t spoil it all!
Our goal throughout the workshop is to optimally use the weather conditions. This means we have a list of locations we want to visit, but the itinerary is not set in stone and we will optimize along the way.
Day 7 (07/10/2027) – Returning West
On day seven we start making our way back west spending one night halfway towards Reykjavik. Here we will visit a waterfall and the iconic Hvítserkur sea stack, also known as the drinking dragon.
Day 8 (08/10/2027) – Return to Reykjavík
On this final full day, we will make our way back to Reykjavík by driving along the ring road and visiting one final waterfall. In the evening, we will have a tasty goodbye dinner.
Day 9 (09/10/2027) – Heading Home
On this final morning, it’s time to part ways. After breakfast at the hotel, everyone heads back home.
Transportation to locations (based on conditions) in minibus
Drone permits (where possible) that cover each participant in all relevant areas
Professional photographic tuition and guidance from Mads and Jeroen

Flights to/from Iceland
Transportation between Keflavík International Airport & Reykjavík

It’s important to note that there will be some hikes on this trip. A few examples include:
The walk to Dettifoss and Selfoss is around a 2,5 km round-trip with elevation gain.
The walk to Stuðlagil canyon is a 5 km round-trip with elevation gain.
The walk to Aldeyjarfoss is a small 500m round-trip but with elevation gain.
The trails can be uneven and slippery with some small elevation gains. For this reason those with medical issues that prohibit hikes, might have a difficult time with this workshop.
What Photography Experience Level Should I Have?
We welcome all experience levels, going from beginners to experienced photographers. A good mix of experience levels means we can also learn from each other.
What Does Having Two Workshop Leaders Actually Mean?
Ten photographers, Mads Peter Iversen and Jeroen. In practice somebody is always free: one of us stays with whoever is wrestling with a filter while the other walks the group on to the next composition, so nobody spends the blue hour queuing for help. You also get two very different ways of reading a landscape, and that’s the part people mention afterwards.
Why West And North Instead Of The South Coast?
Different ground. The south coast is where most Iceland workshops go, Jeroen’s own included, and it is worth every bit of its reputation. This one goes the other way. Snæfellsnes gets called mini-Iceland for a reason: Kirkjufell, the black church at Búðir, the Lóndrangar sea stacks and the coastline at Arnarstapi are all within about an hour of each other. Then north for Mývatn, Dettifoss, Góðafoss and Aldeyjarfoss, with Stuðlagil and Hvítserkur on the way back west. Nine days is enough to do that properly instead of at a run.
Will The Autumn Colours Actually Be Out?
Early October sits right in the window, and it’s why the dates are what they are. Iceland has almost no forest, so the colour here is birch scrub, moss and grassland going rust and gold across whole hillsides. How far along it is depends on the summer that came before it, and nobody can book that in advance.
Will We See The Northern Lights?
Right time of year, good chance, no promises. The nights are properly dark again by then and we’re well away from Reykjavík. Bring a fast wide prime if you own one, something like a 14mm f/1.8, a 20mm f/1.8 or a 16-35mm f/2.8, and read Jeroen’s guide to chasing & photographing the northern lights before you come.
Is The Itinerary Fixed?
No, deliberately. We have a list of places we want to reach, not a timetable we’re hostage to, and we optimise along the way. If the forecast says Snæfellsnes is clearing and the north isn’t, we go west. The one thing we won’t do is drive ten people to a famous location in flat grey light so it can be ticked off a list.
How Much Walking Is There?
Several short hikes. Dettifoss and Selfoss is around 2.5 kilometres round trip, Stuðlagil about 5 kilometres round trip, Aldeyjarfoss a 500 metre round trip, all with some elevation gain. The trails are uneven and can be slippery. None of it is mountaineering, but if hikes that size are a problem for you, say so before you book.
What Is Stuðlagil?
A canyon with walls of basalt columns and a river running green at the bottom of it. One of the few places in Iceland that got famous recently instead of a century ago. It’s a 5 kilometre round trip on foot and it’s worth every metre of it.
Choosing the right photography workshop is about more than just visiting iconic locations. It’s about experience, safety, timing, and personal guidance. Below you’ll find honest reviews from photographers who have joined me on landscape, wildlife & drone photo workshops in Iceland, Greenland and other locations. These testimonials reflect real experiences in small groups, hands-on instruction in challenging conditions, and the level of care Jeroen aims to bring to every workshop.
I had the pleasure of being part of the West/North Iceland 2026 workshop with Jeroen and Mads Peter Iversen. I had already met them both on a workshop in Antarctica and signed up for this smaller workshop without any hesitation. The small group was perfect for continuing my photography eduction and I learned a lot more than I thought I would. Jeroen made himself available to help with settings, composition, and even drone photography techniques whenever I needed him. He’s easy to be with and makes any level photographer comfortable when in a learning situation. Our small group was fun to be with and a large part of that was due to the personalities of both Jeroen and Mads. Thanks for a wonderful week to everyone on this workshop. I highly recommend attending one of Jeroen's workshops without hesitation.

Great trip for aspiring and seasoned photographers alike. Kind and honest hosts, great food, and best of all fantastic photo opportunities. Highly recommend.

It was a fantastic experience, I learned a lot and the engagement with the workshop leaders and other attendees was excellent. I would highly encourage anyone to book a workshop on Jeroen's website. I am planning to rebook with him in the future to explore the highlands.

It was a fantastic, intensive, and highly varied week. Anyone who loves Iceland and wants to delve deeper into drone photography simply has to take part in a workshop like this. Jeroen is a true professional with excellent equipment. His 4x4 took us everywhere, his large DJI battery kept our drones in the air, and his Starlink kept us connected even in the most remote locations.

I've attended many photography workshops over the years, but Jeroen's aerials workshop stands out as one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. Jeroen is not only an exceptional drone photographer but also an outstanding instructor, and his ability to combine technical expertise with artistic vision made every session inspiring. Every day was filled with breathtaking locations, valuable insights and a genuine passion for helping each participant improve. I arrived in Iceland with almost no experience flying drones, and in just one week my confidence grew from 1 to 100. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to take their drone photography to the next level.

I attended Jeroen´s Aerials of the Icelandic Highlands Workshop in August ´26 which was well organised and a great experience. Being a small group of only 3 participants, Jeroen was able to provide individual attention. I gained confidence in flying my drone beyond my comfort zone.

I recently completed a photography workshop in the Highlands with Jeroen, and it exceeded all my expectations. Jeroen's knowledge of Iceland's interior is amazing, from navigating rough F-roads and tricky weather conditions to putting us in the exact right spot at the right time for incredible light. Going into the trip, my drone skills were fairly beginner-level, but Jeroen was fantastic at giving me hands-on guidance, composition advice and technical tips, while also giving me the space I needed to practice on my own. Over the course of the week, my flying and aerial photography improved by leaps and bounds. We had a small, nimble and lighthearted group and Jeroen was the perfect leader!

I have admired Jeroen's work for a long time, so I joined the Aerials of the Icelandic Highlands workshop with very high expectations. His knowledge of the Highlands is exceptional, and his flexibility in adapting the workshop to the weather meant we were always in the right place at the right time. Driving through remote highland tracks, crossing rivers and reaching places that very few people ever see was an unforgettable experience. My biggest personal takeaway was the confidence I gained as a drone pilot, flying distances I would never have thought possible and in conditions I would previously never have considered taking off in. I returned home with images I'm genuinely proud of.

This was the second workshop with Jeroen. Same three customers from last year expressed the desire to do another aerial drone workshop in the Icelandic Highlands. Jeroen managed to fit in an extra custom made workshop for us this July. Jeroen took us to locations we didn’t manage to visit last year. Although many of the highland roads were still unusually closed, Jeroen was very flexible in checking roads and weather, and discussing all options with us. This was again a highly successful workshop. Jeroen was always very helpful giving us drone operating tips and showing us the locations and possible compositions prior to launching our own drones. En route we also had the opportunity to stop briefly at some of the iconic Icelandic waterfalls. Jeroen is very knowledgeable and a very skilled 4X4 driver on the highland roads and river crossings. It was great having everything planned for us in advance. Another highly successful workshop and we all want to go again next year.

I signed up for the puffin workshop after a disappointing experience in Ireland, where the puffins were always too far away to photograph well. That definitely isn’t the case on Grímsey. A great location is only half the equation. The other half is knowing how to photograph it, and that’s where Jeroen truly excels. The highlight for me was the daily image review sessions, discussing editing, cropping, and selecting the strongest frame from a burst. Jeroen has an exceptional eye for the things that matter. I arrived in Iceland hoping to come home with at least a single portrait of a puffin carrying fish in its bill. Instead, I came home with what feels like an entire puffin portfolio.

I can highly recommend the Winter in Iceland photo workshop; it was a great experience. The trip was run very professionally by Jeroen and Mads, and the other participants were interesting and great fun, which made for a great group. Apart from advice on getting the best compositions and techniques at each location, there was also some important safety information given out. I thought that was very good bearing in mind how dangerous Iceland can be (Black Sand Beach in particular). Two things which I found particularly useful on this trip were Wellington Boots and micro spike type crampons-essential in many places. I took my drone and had many fantastic opportunities to fly in some amazing locations, so I would definitely recommend bringing one. All in all a fantastic week!

I can highly recommend Jeroen's photography workshops! I recently had the pleasure of joining his winter tour through Iceland and it was wonderful. The tour was very well organised (a helpful booklet ahead of the tour, great hotels, a clean and new car, enough space for luggage, clear communication on what to expect of each day). Jeroen is a careful and good driver, which I appreciated in winter conditions. He and Mads planned all our days with the optimised photo spots for each day's weather, realistic driving times on the road and sufficient coffee breaks. Both Jeroen and Mads are fun to travel with and wonderful coaches, always making sure to explain the possibilities of each location, what to watch out for and giving suggestions for improvement, while at the same time allowing for enough creative freedom for each of their clients. All in all, I had an amazing time, and look forward to joining further tours in the future.

JVN provided an amazing experience full of useful skills, tips, guidance and knowledge. This workshop helped me level up my photography capabilities whilst immersing myself in an amazing landscape, one that will leave you in awe. The adventure started the first night of the workshop and did not end until leaving the hotel for the plane ride home. At every step of the way, Jeroen was there to offer friendly and compassionate guidance about how to take my own photography, videography and drone skills to the next level. I would highly recommend JVN for anyone at any stage in your photography aspirations, novice to expert. The investment is well worth the value received; new skills, widened perspective, new friends, and capturing life in such an amazing landscape!

I spent 8 days on a workshop led by Jeroen to Western Greenland. My experience was absolutely delightful from end to end. Given the limited infrastructure in Greenland, Jeroen as a planner had anticipated so many ``what ifs`` that he always had an alternative plan if/when something came up. His attention to all the details for our trip was amazing. The accommodations, food, transportation, and activities were all superb. As a teacher he was patient and supportive. He also worked hard to create unique photographic opportunities for us - both landscape and wildlife. His passion and enthusiasm is infectious, as is his sense of humor. As a woman in my 60's, I always felt so safe with him as our leader. I also spent a day with him up in the highlands of Iceland where he worked tirelessly to put us in the best position(s) and in the best light and helped me capture the most insane landscape shots with my new drone. Jeroen is a wonderful human being and great fun to be with. I definitely plan to go on another of his fabulous workshops in the near future!

Just been on a workshop with Jeroen and Mads to West and North Iceland. Amazing trip made all the better by JVN's organisational skills, photographic vision and sense of humour. We were a group of nine with mixed abilities and he always had time for those both at the start of their photographic journey and the more experienced. This was my second time in Iceland and the epic scenery needs to be seen with your own eyes to be believed. If you are even thinking about it, just do it and I recommend JVN.

Jeroen puts on a first class workshop. His drone coaching alone brings tremendous value. Unlike the saturated and competitive land based photography market, great drone/aerial photography instruction is hard to come by. In just a few days I learned new skills, pushed my personal envelope and gained a new level of confidence. That said, the land based opportunity was available all day, every day. The full agenda hit amazing waterfalls and iconic locations. Both Jeroen and Mads were readily available to assist at any level catering to both the professional and those with less experience. Most importantly, the trip was fun, upbeat and positive , even on those few days the weather didn't cooperate. The hotels were super comfortable and the food was great. If looking for a workshop from a local pro with local knowledge, I highly recommend taking one with Jeroen.

Jeroen was an amazing host and guide (and driver) and truly went out of his way to make sure everyone on the trip was not only taken care of from the point of view of comfort with their accommodations and daily needs, but also made sure to help each participant elevate their photography and drone skills. He was accompanied on this trip by Mads Peter Iverson who complemented Jeroen’s skills as well. Both Jeroen and Mads went out of their way to take care of even the most difficult participants, never acting demeaning and always teaching. I can’t think of a better way to see Iceland and learn photography in an immersive and nourishing environment. I highly recommend this adventure!

I attended Jeroen's Autumn in West/North Iceland Photo Workshop and couldn't be more pleased. In addition to being a world class camera and drone photographer, Jeroen excels at guiding a group tour. He did an excellent job in managing the logistics of the workshop and had the perfect balance of offering photo suggestions without being condescending. I look forward to attending another of his workshops in the near future.

Jeroen really cares about the experience that you have on his workshops. He has impeccable organisation and communication prior to and during the workshop. Jeroen actively sought feedback afterwards, which demonstrates to me that he is constantly working towards providing the best experience for participants. He handled one difficult situation that came up unexpectedly on this trip with grace and made sure the impact of this on the group was minimal. The photographic opportunities we had in East Greenland were incredible. As a total newbie to drone flying, I felt supported and encouraged to venture out of my comfort zone and as a result, I learned so much and captured some amazing photos that I am really proud of. The crew of the boat was fantastic, making sure we were safe and comfortable at all times. The food was excellent. All of these little touches curated by Jeroen made this workshop an incredible experience beyond taking photos.
