Photo Workshops & Photo Tours in Greenland

Yes, you can do a photography workshop in Greenland in summer, and summer is when I run them. My 2027 trips are West Greenland on 1 to 6 July and 14 to 19 August, and East Greenland on 25 August to 1 September and 6 to 13 September.

Greenland is one of the most extraordinary destinations on Earth for photographers. Towering icebergs, vast glaciers, colourful Arctic settlements, whales, dramatic mountain backdrops, and endless summer light create incredible opportunities to make unforgettable images. It is no surprise that more photographers are searching for Greenland photo tours, Greenland photography tours, and specialist Greenland photo trips to experience this remote wilderness properly.

Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove’s Greenland photo tours and workshops are created for photographers who want far more than a standard sightseeing trip. With small groups, expert tuition, and flexible planning around weather, wildlife activity, and light, every journey is built with photography as the priority. Whether you want to join a Greenland photography workshop, or travel with an experienced Greenland photo guide, you will be in the right place at the right time.

From photographing giant icebergs in Disko Bay and the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord to capturing whales, Arctic landscapes, and authentic local life, these photography workshops in Greenland are designed to help photographers improve their skills, create stronger images, and experience Greenland at its very best.

LAST SPOTS

Explore the remote corners of the Ammassalik area in Eastern Greenland, together with Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove & James Popsys, on this photography adventure. Giant castles of ice float by and there are no roads, so everything we photograph is reached by boat or on foot: calving glaciers, a 40 metre deep ice cave, a handful of Greenlandic settlements and, with a bit of luck, whales on the way there.

WAITLIST

Join Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove in photographing one of the most stunning locations in the world! It’s often said that Greenland is a place you need to see with your own eyes to believe it’s real. Witnessing the UNESCO Ilulissat Icefjord and Disko Bay in person is definitely one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences. It’s arguably one of the most impressive and most beautiful environments of the Arctic. The whole ocean surrounding the town of Ilulissat is covered in icebergs of all shapes and size - some even as large as a whole apartment building. A bucket list item for many landscape photographers for sure!

WAITLIST

Join Mads Peter Iversen & Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove in Ilulissat, the small Greenlandic town that sits right beside the UNESCO Ilulissat Icefjord. The fjord is fed by Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the fastest and most productive glaciers on the planet, which is why the water around town is packed with icebergs the size of apartment blocks - close enough that you watch them drift past over breakfast.

WAITLIST

Are you ready for a true once-in-a-lifetime adventure? Join Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove on this unique photography expedition in Scoresbysund, a remote fjord system in Eastern Greenland. During this expedition, you will witness landscape at its purest and most raw while being completely off-grid. Where giant castles of ice float by and where, with the exception of one isolated community, nature has been left completely alone. There are no roads here and the only way to access and experience these places is via a quaint sailboat, allowing a small group of participants to witness this unique place.

Why Book One Of Jeroen’s Greenland Photo Workshops?

Jeroen offers far more than a typical Greenland photo tour. His workshops are built for photographers who want expert guidance, local knowledge, and genuine opportunities to create their best work while exploring one of the wildest places on Earth.

Having spent years leading photography adventures in the Arctic, Jeroen understands how quickly conditions can change and how important timing is when photographing Greenland. That experience makes him a trusted professional photography guide Greenland visitors can rely on when planning a successful trip.

Rather than following a rigid itinerary, his photography tours of Greenland stay as flexible as possible so guests can chase the best light, adapt to weather, and maximise chances to get great iceberg shots & memorable wildlife opportunities. Small group sizes also mean more one-to-one guidance throughout the journey. Whether you need help with composition, camera settings, drone photography, or building confidence in the field, support is always close by.

From immense glaciers and iceberg-filled fjords to whales, remote settlements, midnight sun, and dramatic Arctic scenery, these Greenland photography workshops are designed for photographers who want stronger images, unforgettable experiences, and a deeper connection with Greenland.

Where Does Jeroen Photograph Icebergs And Whales In West Greenland?

West Greenland is where most of Jeroen’s Greenland photography happens. Disko Bay and the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord produce some of the largest icebergs in the Arctic, calved from one of the fastest-moving glaciers on Earth. Photographers work these icebergs from small boats, on foot along the icefjord, and from the air where drone flying is allowed, using the low midnight light that runs across the ice through summer. The same waters bring humpback whales that feed close to the ice, so a single day can move from wide landscape scenes to close wildlife. Colourful settlements and sled dogs fill the time between. An Ilulissat photography tour is the natural base for all of this, within easy reach of both Disko Bay and the icefjord. Jeroen has written about the region in his two weeks in Disko Bay and his whales and icebergs adventure in West Greenland.

What Does Jeroen’s East Greenland And Scoresby Sund Expedition Cover?

East Greenland is the wilder, more remote side of the country, and Jeroen’s East Greenland photo expedition reaches it by boat. Most of the trip is spent in Scoresby Sund, one of the largest fjord systems on Earth, where twin-peaked mountains rise straight out of water full of icebergs. Travelling under sail keeps the group moving quietly between anchorages, following the light and the ice rather than a fixed route. It is strong wildlife territory too: polar bears cross the pack ice, musk oxen graze the slopes, and seabirds gather on the ice. Conditions here are weather-driven and unpredictable, so the itinerary stays flexible and the group stays small. For more on the region, read Jeroen’s account of exploring the solitude of Scoresbysund. Further south, around Tasiilaq, Jeroen also co-leads a workshop with James Popsys in the Ammassalik area from 6 to 13 September 2027, with two boats and twelve places.

Why Book A Greenland Photo Workshop With A Professional, Award-Winning Photo Tour Leader?

Booking a Greenland photo workshop with Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove means learning in the field from a professional photographer and experienced expedition leader with years of hands-on expertise in Arctic landscape, wildlife, and remote-location photography. His Greenland workshops are built around light, weather, ice conditions, and real-world opportunities, helping photographers improve composition and technical skills while creating strong, portfolio-ready images. Jeroen’s work has received international recognition and awards, with photography published and featured across multiple platforms, reflecting a high level of professional consistency.

Rather than following a rigid itinerary, each Greenland photo workshop is adapted to weather conditions, ice movement, and changing opportunities, ensuring participants are in the right place at the right time for the best photographic opportunities. Workshops are kept small and personal, allowing for individual guidance in the field, practical shooting advice for different experience levels, and optional workflow or post-processing insights that continue to add value after the workshop ends.

Every Greenland workshop led by Jeroen places a strong emphasis on professional leadership, safety, and responsible travel in challenging Arctic environments. He is Wilderness First Aid certified and experienced in operating in remote regions where conditions can change quickly, while also relying on experienced partner operators. Daily plans, landing opportunities, sailing routes, and shooting locations are carefully assessed to balance photographic potential with safety, access, and environmental responsibility, allowing participants to focus fully on photography with confidence.

From logistics and location scouting to group management and risk awareness, all practical details are handled professionally. Participants are guided by someone who understands both the creative demands of photography and the real-world responsibilities of leading high-quality Greenland photo workshops.

Small-Group Greenland Photo Workshops Designed For Photographers

Greenland photography workshops led by Jeroen are intentionally designed around small group sizes, allowing every participant to receive meaningful guidance and personal feedback throughout the experience. Rather than guiding large groups through busy locations, these workshops focus on creating an environment where photographers can truly learn, experiment, and develop their skills in the field. Smaller groups also make it easier to adapt to changing conditions, reposition quickly for wildlife encounters, and work together respectfully in fragile environments.

Participants benefit from hands-on instruction in real shooting conditions, whether photographing towering icebergs, Arctic wildlife, dramatic mountain landscapes, or the unique light of the far north. Jeroen works closely with each photographer to refine composition, improve camera settings, and better understand how to work with light, weather, and timing in demanding environments.

Small groups also allow the workshop itinerary to remain flexible and photography-driven. Instead of rushing between locations, time can be spent waiting for the right light, returning to locations when conditions improve, navigating changing ice conditions, or following unexpected opportunities that nature presents. The result is a far more immersive experience where participants can focus fully on developing their photography while exploring some of the most extraordinary Arctic landscapes on Earth.

I had a great week exploring East Greenland with Jeroen. In this remote and relatively small corner of Greenland there are so many photographic opportunities, from landscapes, icescapes, night photography (aurora), whales, local culture, and history. Jeroen was always on hand to offer photography tips, both on location and in presentations beforehand. This was really useful so that we could put what we learnt into practice when we were out shooting. On this trip, we were joined by James Popsys, who has a very different style of photography, focussing more on the human element, and combining this nicely with the incredible Greenlandic landscapes. The duration was just right for this region, and everything was organised perfectly, and there were regular updates on the Whatsapp group. We managed to see a lot of places during the week, and although we were based in the same town for most of that time it never really felt repetitive. We were travelling on the boats on most days. Some of the journeys felt a bit long but it was worth it to get to the stunning destinations, and on almost every boat ride we got to see at least one whale. Although there is a lot of emphasis on drone photography, I did not feel this impacted me as a camera-only participant, I just had more time to concentrate on my photography. I also found it interesting to learn about drone photography and look at some of the other participants' images that drones can capture. The hotel we stayed at in Tasilaq was excellent and the rooms were very comfortable. You don’t visit Greenland for the cuisine, but I was happy with the lunch and dinner buffets (even as a vegan!) and there’s plenty of food for those with bigger appetites.

Returned from a wonderful sailboat photography trip to Scorsby Sound, East Greenland with Jeroen. The trip exceeded my expectations. Care over organisation was excellent. The week was fabulous, scenery incredible and with wonderful encounter with polar bears. Jeroen’s talent and enthusiasm for photography was superb. I am not a drone photographer but this is not an issue as there are always other photography opportunities and Jeroen would include all of us in what could be seen. The sailboat and food, company were excellent. I would love to go on more trips with Jeroen and cannot recommend this one highly enough.

Have just returned from East Greenland with Jeroen and what a trip. From the pre trip organisation, day one briefing to the final farewell 8 days later, Jeroen offered a superb experience with a great group of people. As a non-drone photographer, I was a little apprehensive about the focus of the photographic opportunities, however even when the drone benefits were evident, Jeroen ensured that non-drone photographers were a focus with boat positioning or alternative advice. I am already looking at future workshops with Jeroen to this remote area that he knows so well .

This was my second workshop with Jeroen, and once again it was a fantastic experience. Jeroen combines professional organisation and excellent photographic guidance with a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of fun. He is always there when advice is needed, while still giving everyone the freedom to explore their own ideas and photographic style. Nothing seemed to escape Jeroen’s eye, even the smallest signs of wildlife were spotted. We were also truly spoiled with fantastic opportunities for both drone photography and camera shooting. East Greenland was simply spectacular! Experiencing it together with Jeroen, the crew and a great bunch of like-minded photographers from all over the world made the trip certainly memorable. I would happily join Jeroen again.

I did the Greenland drone and photo workshop with Jeroen in June 2026. It was an incredible experience, Jeroen taught us all so much and the other workshop participants also made it a fun time for us. Having travelled from the other side of the world, it can be daunting to put your trust into a leader but I would not hesitate to recommend a workshop with Jeroen, I learned so much and can’t wait for the next one.

Last month I joined Jeroen on a workshop to West Greenland, and I had a fantastic time! It was my first workshop with him, and he was an amazing leader! From the moment I signed up it was clear he has impeccable attention to detail. The workshop notes sent out well in advance were incredibly detailed and covered any question I had. When we got to Greenland, we hit a challenge when six of the eight people on the trip didn't receive their baggage. Jeroen worked incredibly hard behind the scenes, speaking with anyone and everyone that might have been able to help the situation, keeping everyone informed, and did everything he could to minimise the impact on the workshop itself. A large part of the workshop was spent photographing from boats, both with our cameras and drones, as we explored the Ilulissat Icefjord. Most of us were nervous about launching and landing our drones from the boat. Jeroen made sure he took the time with each client to either do it for them, or give them the clear instructions and confidence to do it themselves. I personally learnt a huge amount about drone photography during the workshop. Before the trip I'd spent less than an hour flying my drone, but I came away with some incredible images that I’m thrilled with! Jeroen was always happy to answer my questions and enthusiastic to share his knowledge and demonstrate photographic opportunities in the area from the unique perspective that comes from the use of drones. His enthusiasm around drones is really contagious and inspiring! Jeroen worked hard with the crew working on the boat to put us in the best position possible to see whales and incredible icebergs. Over the five days we saw dozens of whales and we got some incredible views of them feeding and breaching the water. I would highly recommend going on a workshop with Jeroen. He easily catered to everyone’s individual needs and photographic knowledge levels, while managing the unexpected challenge of missing luggage! It was a fantastic trip, and I'll definitely be booking another workshop with him in the future.

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!

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.

There’s nothing like flying your drone 4.5 kilometers out, over a sea of icebergs, and hoping you don’t lose signal and have enough battery to return. It was completely out of my comfort zone and skillset. Yet, during last week’s West Greenland trip, I learned from watching Jeroen and seeking his advice to do exactly just that. I’m an advertising photographer, have been shooting for over 40 years. However, I knew what I was getting into was beyond me. Jeroen showed me different ways of finding and making images when there was nothing obvious in front of my eyes. In addition, Jeroen was generous with his help when I explored the Highlands in Iceland on my own before the Greenland trip. Thank you Jeroen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are a few of the most commonly asked questions people have before considering to join a photo workshop in Greenland.

When Do Jeroen’s Greenland Photo Workshops Run?

Jeroen’s Greenland photography tours and workshops run mainly in summer, when the long daylight, open water, and Arctic wildlife are at their best. Dates change each year, and once a season sells out, new trips are announced first on the waitlist. West Greenland and Disko Bay run most summers, with East Greenland expeditions added when a voyage is scheduled.

Where Are Jeroen’s Greenland Workshops Based, and How Many People Join?

Most trips are based in West Greenland around Ilulissat and Disko Bay, with East Greenland expeditions exploring Scoresby Sund by boat. Groups stay small, usually between eight and twelve photographers, so everyone gets hands-on guidance in the field.

Do I Need Drone Experience to Join?

No. A drone is optional, and you can fly your own where regulations and conditions allow. Jeroen is a professional drone photographer and can help you get the most from aerial photography in the field. He flies a DJI Mavic 4 Pro on these trips, and his three-month Mavic 4 Pro review covers how it performs in conditions like these.

Why Join One of Jeroen’s Greenland Photography Workshops?

Greenland is one of the most extraordinary places on Earth for photographers. Towering icebergs, vast fjords, Arctic wildlife, colourful settlements, dramatic weather, and endless summer light create opportunities that are difficult to match anywhere else. A workshop helps you make the most of changing conditions, reach the best locations at the right time, and improve your photography with in-field guidance.

If that didn’t convince you, then maybe these 5 reasons how a photo tour can level up your photography can help you decide to join one of Jeroen’s trips!

What Kind of Photography Can I Expect in Greenland?

Greenland workshops often focus on a mix of landscapes, wildlife, and aerial photography. Depending on the itinerary, you may photograph giant iceberg fields, glaciers, humpback whales, Arctic coastlines, fishing villages, reflections, misty fjords, and midnight light.

Do I Need to Be an Experienced Photographer?

Not at all. These workshops are designed for a range of experience levels, from enthusiastic beginners to advanced photographers. Guidance can cover camera settings, composition, working with light, wildlife opportunities, and developing stronger images in the field.

Which Parts of Greenland Does Jeroen Visit?

Workshops vary by season and year, but destinations may include West Greenland around Ilulissat and Disko Bay, known for whales and huge icebergs, or Eastern Greenland for more remote fjords, dramatic mountains, and expedition-style exploration.

What Is the Best Time to Photograph Greenland?

Summer is especially popular thanks to easier access, wildlife activity, open water, and long daylight hours. Different dates offer different experiences, from whale encounters and boat access to rich midnight light and calmer travel conditions.

Is Greenland Physically Demanding?

Some trips are relaxed and boat-based, while others may involve walking on uneven ground, getting in and out of small boats, or travelling in remote conditions. Each workshop has its own pace and difficulty level, so participants receive guidance beforehand on what to expect.

What Camera Gear Should I Bring?

A versatile setup works best. Wide-angle lenses are excellent for landscapes and icebergs, while telephoto lenses are ideal for whales, wildlife, and distant details. A drone can also be useful where regulations and conditions allow. Full packing guidance is normally provided before departure.

Are Jeroen’s Greenland Workshops Small-Group Trips?

Yes. Small groups create a better learning environment, allow more personal guidance, and make logistics easier in remote Arctic destinations where flexibility matters.

How Does Jeroen Handle Changing Weather in Greenland?

Greenland weather can sometimes shift quickly, which is part of the adventure. Itineraries stay as flexible as possible so opportunities can be adapted around light, sea conditions, wildlife sightings, and access, helping maximise photographic chances rather than sticking to a rigid schedule.

Is Greenland Worth It for Photographers?

Absolutely. Greenland offers a rare combination of scale, solitude, wildlife, and raw Arctic beauty. For many photographers, it becomes one of the most memorable destinations they ever visit.
