I never imagined that I would experience such a transformation on so many levels as the result of the professionalism, patience and teamwork
“Having had no previous experience with digital or SLR photography, the stated goals of the workshop were daunting to me. I never imagined that I would experience such a transformation on so many levels as the result of the professionalism, patience, teamwork and camaraderie of your staff."

The sessions will push your creative abilities to the limit as moving dogs, managing equipment and working in minus temperatures makes getting that shot or drawing even harder. Day by day tasks will help you come up with your own unique version of this fantastic trip in photographic or art form and will allow you to create that perfect image that is truly yours - for the memory of a lifetime.
Learn to drive your own husky team of four dogs over frozen lakes and through snow covered forests, stay in wooden cabins with your own wood burning stove, saunas and great food in a setting straight out of Dr Zhivago with the slight complication of it being minus 20 - on a good day! While away in the frozen North we will be staying by the side of a frozen lake in one of the five of lodges that offer showers, toilets and saunas. You will breakfast and dine on fabulous food cooked by the local chefs.
It is serene, simple, rejuvenating and a magical experience. Dog appreciation essential and not for those who think the city can turn a bit cold. The trip will run over four nights with an option to spend a fifth night in Stockholm on the way back to wherever your bit of civilisation might exist. Experience nature’s icy and quiet beauty that is hard to appreciate until you are actually standing in it.
