6 full days of hands-on guidance and learning with a professional photographer, focused on mastering long exposure and minimalist photography in the middle of untouched remote wild Arctic landscapes.

A curated itinerary exploring some of the wildest natural parks with photogenic architecture elements such as Kotas and huts, with expert tips on light, composition, and technique at each location.

Group and one-on-one mentoring, tailored to your level—whether you’re looking to refine your skills or explore new creative approaches.

Post-shoot review sessions, where we’ll go over your shots and discuss editing tips, camera settings, and ways to improve your visual storytelling.

A friendly and supportive group environment, limited to 6 participants, allowing plenty of time for questions, feedback, and personal growth.

The workshop begins on Friday at 10:00 AM in Ruka and concludes on Friday at 5:00 PM, followed by a relaxed group dinner to round off the week.

​

Meals at the cabin are included in the price. Restaurant meals are not included. That said, we’ll all take part in preparing each meal and enjoy them together each day, a great opportunity to connect, share experiences, and relax in a warm, friendly atmosphere.

Travel to Ruka is not included in the workshop fee. However, once the workshop begins, all transportation will be provided. I’ll be driving you to each location throughout the duration of the workshop. Most of our photography spots are accessible by car, followed by short/long walks (depending of the location) to explore the surrounding parks and landscapes on foot.

To get the most out of your workshop experience, I recommend bringing the following gear:

Camera (DSLR or Mirrorless) with full manual mode capability

Sturdy tripod – essential for long exposure photography

Wide-angle lens – ideal for capturing architecture and expansive scenes

ND filters (Neutral Density) – to achieve smooth, long exposure effects

Remote shutter release – to minimize camera shake

Spare batteries & memory cards – to ensure you’re always ready to shoot

Weather-appropriate clothing – we’ll be shooting outdoors, rain or shine

Comfortable walking shoes – expect to explore the city on foot

If you’re unsure about any of the gear, feel free to contact me directly before the workshop

Fitness Level: The workshop includes walking through snow and along unmarked paths, often with your gear, so a reasonable level of fitness is recommended.

Weather: Expect very cold conditions, often below -15°C each day. Please bring appropriate winter clothing to stay warm and comfortable, insulated layers, thermal gear, and sturdy winter boots are essential to keep you safe and warm throughout the workshop. I would strongly recommend you bring some auto heating pads to slide in your boots and clothes as well to fight the cold.

Insurance: Participants are responsible for their own travel, health and equipment insurance.

Workshop Language: The workshop will be conducted in English (but feel free to ask if you need assistance in French).

Group Size: To ensure personal attention, the group is limited to 6 participants.

Photography Experience: All levels are welcome, but a basic understanding of camera functions will help you get the most from the experience.

What You’ll Leave With: A collection of striking long exposure images, practical knowledge to apply to future shoots, and new connections with like-minded creatives.

Join me for a focused 4-hour one-to-one session where I guide you through my complete post-processing workflow, from essential foundations to advanced techniques. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your editing style, this session is designed to elevate your skills and deepen your understanding of the digital darkroom.

We’ll begin by covering the basics: file management, RAW development, and key adjustments in exposure, contrast, color, and sharpness. From there, we’ll move into more advanced functions, local adjustments, masking, layer work, and creative effects, using the tools and techniques I rely on to create the minimalist, long exposure imagery that defines my work today.

This session is not just about software, it’s about creative intent. I’ll walk you through my full process, sharing how I approach an image from the moment it’s captured to the final fine-art result, with plenty of time for questions and tailored guidance throughout.

Whether you’re a landscape enthusiast or aspiring fine art photographer, this hands-on session will help you gain clarity, confidence, and control over your editing process

Join me from the comfort of your own space, we’ll connect through easy-to-use platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams for a smooth, relaxed learning experience.
