All-Inclusive Iceland Retreat with Marie Brooks and Dane Halo

Embark on a mesmerizing 7-day all-inclusive photography retreat in Iceland, where untamed, off-the-beaten-path landscapes meet the allure of fine art nude figure. Join us for an exclusive experience of capturing the beauty of two respected art nude models – Marie Brooks and Dane Halo – against Iceland's breathtaking scenery. Elevate your photography skills amidst glaciers, waterfalls, and the enchanting glow of the midnight sun.

Three of the above images were taken between 11pm and 3am, believe it or not!

Dane has fallen completely in love with Iceland, having spent six weeks exploring the island’s volcanoes, mountains, and charming towns. We will take our participants to scenic places off the beaten path, where we will have unrestricted access to many spectacular locations not featured in the average Icelandic retreat, ensuring an unparalleled experience capturing the untouched beauty that Iceland has to offer. Both Dane and Marie are Canadian and are used to cooler temperatures.

Seize this exclusive opportunity to create extraordinary visual stories. Only four spots available – venture beyond the ordinary, and immerse yourself in the scenery of Iceland like never before.

Bring empty cards, full batteries, warm clothes… and a fresh sense of wonder.

For several years, she has been orchestrating captivating retreat adventures. I am thrilled to collaborate with her on this event, merging my expertise in Iceland’s best kept secret locations with her exceptional skills in organizing retreats!

This is an all-inclusive retreat with both models’ fees, transportation, accommodations, and most food included! We wish to be very clear: this is a challenging landscape with unpredictable weather and some easy-to-moderate hiking necessary through a great deal of terrain and some elevation change.

  • No locations require more than a half hour of hiking. Photographers may choose to abstain from participating as they choose (we will visit many photoshoot locations each day, so nobody will feel left out)!

  • We will be visiting locations during off-hours, so will have more exclusivity to our use (thus fewer background distractions).

  • While both Marie and I are Canadian and often able to handle a cooler environment, we will listen to what our bodies need to stay safe and in tip-top condition for our full week!

  • We will have a maximum of FOUR photographers on this tour. Accommodation is based upon double occupancy in (mostly) quaint guest homes in the Icelandic landscape. There are many luxury hotels available that we are happy to - for a reasonable additional fee - select instead for your stays! Please contact us for additional details.

  • Iceland Air has a fabulous deal on right now to extend your stay! Click here!

  • Refunds of deposits will only be available before April 25. After this, the deposit must be kept unless we can find a suitable replacement to fill the spot. Your deposit will be returned in this case.
