Iceland Vacation Travel and Photography Guide | 4K

In this travel and photography guide video, I will show you where and what to see in Iceland. I do so by showing my way to approach different locations in Iceland. I take them one by one in geographical order clockwise around the island. I will stress that this is NOT how you're supposed to do it. This is simply how I would approach Iceland. You are still the sole creator of your tour to Iceland and you have to design your tour with what you want to accomplish in mind.

Kirkjufell - Top Locations in Iceland

Find out more:

This arrowhead mountain is actually called Kirkjufell, but it is often referred to as “The Game of Thrones Mountain”, not only because of the iconic scenes in series seven but also because foreign visitors in Iceland find it really difficult to pronounce Icelandic place names.
It is often said that Kirkjufell is the most photographed mountain in Iceland, and with its isolated position and distinct shape, it is easy to see why. The 463-metre tall mountain has a sharp top, long, curved sides and at the base, visitors can find a lake which on clear days reflects a perfect mirror image of the mountain.

There is also a small but stunning three-pronged waterfall nearby which photographers love to capture on film, framing the majestic Kirkjufell mountain in the background.

Kirkjufell is located near the fishing town of Grundarfjörður on the northern side of Snæfellsnes, a peninsula famed for its diverse attractions. Aside from the stunning Kirkjufell mountain, you can find black pebble beaches, silvery waterfalls, rugged cliffs, and a majestic glacier, on this 90 km stretch of land.

More Travel Photography in Iceland | Waterfalls and Icelandic Horses

More travel photography in Iceland was the game today on day 5 of our photography workshop here. This vlog involves some reflections, waterfalls, and Icelandic horses.
For Ivan's Iceland photography, check out @Ivanthor on IG. And for my travel photography from around the world, I'm @brendanvanson.
It's Day 5 of our travel photography workshop in Iceland. And, we were up for sunrise to shoot today. In fact, we headed to Kirkjufellsfoss which was the same location as sunset yesterday. However, instead of shooting the waterfall, I headed over with some participants to photograph the reflection of Kirkjufell in the inlet. It came out quite pretty.
Photography in Iceland is always such a pleasure, and this morning was no different. The light wasn't amazing, but the locations were incredible. I got about 4 photos around that location I'm happy with and then we moved on towards the South of Iceland.
Our photography tour in Iceland moved on later in the morning to þingvellir National Park. It's such a cool place. There are waterfalls, canyons, and cool little churches. It was a fun place to shoot some photos.
In the evening we didn't have a photography location for sunset. So, we kind of just winged it, and I'm glad I did.
We found Icelandic horses near a fence at a point and grabbed some shots of them with the light really beautiful in the background. It was a lot of fun. Icelandic horses are just so photogenic. They always make for good photos.
Tomorrow, the photography tour in Iceland continues. We're headed to some of the most iconic photography locations in the country. It should be lots of fun.
So, stay tuned to the photography channel for more.

Perlan - A Sparkling Pearl of Wonders, Stars, And The Best View In Reykjavík

Ever since the mid-20th century, six hot water tanks stood on top of Öskjuhlíð. In 1991, an immense glass dome was placed on top of them, forming Perlan, which in the years since has become one of the most iconic and visited attractions in Iceland. The name translates to ‘pearl’, and seeing the building from the distance will show you why. On a sunny day in the city, it sparkles out like a prize-winning diamond, enchanting locals and foreigners alike...

AMAZING Photos from LESS Photographed Locations in Iceland - Lómagnúpur | 4K

In this episode Nigel and I visit the iconic, yet less photographed mountain Lómagnúpur in southern Iceland. You literally drive just past it on the Ring Road around Iceland, but I rarely see dedicated photos from here. Nigel and I spent both a night photographing the northern lights and a morning photographing this massive rock, which reminds me of the buttes of Monument Valley in Arizona. Nigel wasn't really satisfied with his photos and you should check out his video from this location, where he talks about how failure can improve your photography.

3 Things I Learned on my Photography Trip to Iceland

My photography trip to Iceland is over and I'm heading home. Here are 3 things I learned.
Check out Ivan and me on Instagram at @IvanThorPhoto and @Brendanvanson
See Gareth ( and Steve ( for more Iceland coverage soon.
Photography online back up:
It's my last Iceland Vlog as Jeff and I are dropping people off at the airport and ending this photography trip.
The Photography trip to Iceland has been amazing. And, all the participants have been incredible.
I learned a lot on this photo trip, too. Yes, I was the guide and instructor, but I think that no matter your position you should always be seeking to grow and learn. This trip was no different.
The three things I learned in Iceland were:
1) Photographers who want to sell their images can't shoot the same locations everyone else does. If you shoot photography at the iconic places only, it's hard to sell the files as there's so much competition. Find new places to shoot.
2) The big difference between making it as a pro photographer and not is finding the time to shoot. You really need to dive in and commit if you want to be a professional photographer.
3) I've been lucky in so many ways. I've never had broken camera gear. I've never lost files. And, I've been pretty careless. So, I need to get better at protecting my gear.
This is the last Iceland Vlog, and I do head back to England at the end of this episode.
The next photography vlog will be from back here in England. So, I hope you stay tuned to the channel for those episodes.

Travel Photography in Iceland

To see some of the images from this trip and video, check out this article on the blog:

I finally got the chance to shoot some travel photography in Iceland. It seems like every professional travel photographer on the planet has been there in the past couple years, so it was nice to get some images under my belt there too.
I just had a week to photograph Iceland, which isn't nearly enough time. I think I could have spent a solid month there and still not felt like I had properly covered it. Since it was my first time there, I really tried to just hit up the hotspots and try to find some other cool things in between. It was a bit of a scouting trip for the next time I go.
Now, well photography in Iceland is fairly easy in that there is always an amazing image to capture, it's also extremely challenging at times. The weather changes every five minutes, there are rolling storms and lots of wind; so it makes for a bit of an adventure.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the video. I've got a couple more photography videos from Iceland coming in the next little while, so stay tuned, and don't forget to subscribe!
