Midnight Sun Photography Masterclass in the High Arctic

Join a professional expedition photographer for a small-group masterclass using Lady Franklin Island's otherworldly Arctic light — the low-angle midnight sun, mirror-calm water, and monumental cliffs create conditions found nowhere else on Earth.

What to expect

Your guide times the excursion to exploit the golden-hour quality light that persists for hours in summer at this latitude. You'll work from both the Zodiac (for cliff-face and reflection shots) and on land (for foreground geology, lichen colour, and bird-in-flight work). The photographer reviews images with you between locations, offering targeted feedback. Expect to return to the ship with a portfolio-quality body of work and a technical skill-set you'll use for the rest of the voyage.
