As educators, both Vieri and Zeynep were perfect workshop facilitators. Having attended many workshops over the years, I can confidently say that this Faroe Islands experience set the benchmark for how a truly professional photography workshop should be conducted!
When I started exploring the Faroe Islands, I expected to find just those few iconic vistas we see from everyone else. Instead, the Faroe Islands proved to be full of surprisingly diverse photographic inspiration, and what makes them even better is that they are almost still completely untapped by photographers. Rugged, majestic, wild and primordial looking, with their mix of natural and man-influenced landscapes the Faroe Islands offer incredibly inspiring subjects, ranging from classic iconic vistas to more intimate, minimalistic landscapes. I immediately fell in love with the Faroe Islands, returning multiple times since my first visit. Despite dedicating months to their incredible landscapes, driving every road and hiking almost every path, I feel like I have just started scratching the surface of what the Faroe Islands have to offer photographically, and I am always longing to go back for more!
Designing your Faroe Islands Residency, leveraging on over a decade of experience leading more than 110 Workshops, 8 of which on the Faroe Islands so far, I created a completely new, “vertical” Workshop concept covering everything you will need to know, from photographing iconic locations in a personal way to finding and developing your own, from working in the field to editing and processing your photographs, to creating a Portfolio.
All our years of experience and exploration of The Faroe Islands will make sure that we will have more locations on Faroe than any other Workshop, locations we will have the time to revisit as much as needed to help you create a strong, original Portfolio showcasing your vision of the Islands’ spectacular landscapes in the best possible way.
Never changing hotel will give us the opportunity to do advanced post-processing sessions every day and edit your photographs, whether digital or film, to get the most of their potential while staying true to your vision, and I will offer you unique insights on how I create my personal work, develop and edit it.
Designed to be the ultimate, “vertical” Workshop for those wanting to go deep into understanding, interpreting and bringing the inspiring, stunning Faroese landscapes to life, your Faroe Islands Residency will be a truly unparalleled photographic and learning experience!

My week on the Faroe Islands workshop with Vieri and Zeynep exceeded expectations and delivered exactly what was promised. This was not only my first visit to the Faroes, but also my first experience attending one of Vieri’s workshops. What struck me immediately was Vieri’s deep knowledge of the islands, particularly the unique and ever-changing weather. Each day, the itinerary was adapted to make the most of the conditions, thereby ensuring we never lost valuable time to poor ‘photographic weather.’!
To make the most out of your time with us, we recommend you will bring to the Workshop:
