An adventure like no other.
It’s not just a trek; it’s a chance to get creative and fully immerse yourself in the Arctic wilderness — something very few people get to experience.
Our days will be filled with light, from the soft glow of the midday sun to the vibrant hues of the long-lasting midnight sunsets. We will hone your skills by photographing our time on the edge of the ice cap and train your lens on the unique flora and fauna of the tundra, including majestic wildlife like Musk Ox, Caribou, Ptarmigan and the elusive but curious Arctic Fox. Even at dusk, the adventure continues with light painting workshops, where we will transform our arctic surroundings into your canvas.
Expedition: £2,350
Training: £299*
7 days in the remote wilderness, 7 photo modules, 50km (approx)
*If you haven’t participated in a wild camping event with Turn Wild before, training is necessary to ensure you are safe and prepared for the full expedition.

How to book.
To book a space on the expedition, you will need to get in touch with the team at Turn Wild (I can help to arrange this for you - just let me know).
Turn Wild will then organise a Zoom call with you. That call is to make sure all your questions are answered so you feel confident and ready for the expedition challenges and the training commitments required.
After this call, a deposit of 30% will be required to secure your place. The balance is due 50 days before the start of the expedition. For cancellations made within 30-40 days of the trip commencement date, Turn Wild reserves the right to retain 50% of the balance payment. For cancellations within 30 days of the departure date, Turn Wild will retain 100% of the total fee.

The photography modules.
During our expedition in Greenland, we will cover a range of photographic styles and techniques, demonstrating how each can be achieved in the wilderness using only the equipment we carry with us. In no particular order, these modules give an overview of the different topics we will cover.
-
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CAMERA
In this module, we will start by understanding the settings on your camera. As we proceed through the other modules, we will see how these settings can be adjusted to achieve different types of photography.
This module will be covered during the Dartmoor Training.
-
CONNECTING EXPEDITION SKILLS WITH PHOTOGRAPHY
As part of this session, we will learn how to maintain and care for our camera equipment in remote environments and use skills like navigation and route-finding to read the landscape and find the best locations for different shots.
This module will be covered during the Dartmoor Training.
-
DYNAMIC TREK PHOTOGRAPHY
In the early stages of our expedition, we will focus on capturing the experience of trekking against the backdrop of the Arctic tundra and learning how to build in moments for photography while ensuring you and your team can keep moving and maintain your expeditionary goal.
-
WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY
As we quietly move through the ancient hunting grounds of the Inuit people, we will continue to practise the dynamic photography techniques we’ve already learnt while getting to grips with wildlife photography. Musk Oxen, Arctic Foxes, Arctic Hares and Caribou are all possible sightings as we quietly move through the area.
-
LANDSCAPE & OUTDOOR PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
While out in the remote wilderness, we will use the midnight sun for sessions on landscape and outdoor portrait photography with a sunset backdrop of mountains, ice and the arctic tundra extending for miles all around us.
-
LIGHT PAINTING
At a couple of points during the expedition, in the early twilight hours and with the ice sheet behind us, we’ll use our position at camp to practise the delicate art of painting with light - creating surreal and intriguing works of art using only our cameras and torches.
-
CAMPCRAFT PHOTOGRAPHY
Last but not least, throughout the expedition we’ll use our time at camp to document the experience of living in the wilderness, and all the skills associated with doing so
Training in Dartmoor.
If you have not joined a Turn Wild adventure before, you will need to attend the expedition training event in Dartmoor. In this training you will learn vital skills necessary for a safe and fulfilling adventure. Our goal is to help you to become an environmentally conscious wild camper, and a resilient expedition team member.
This two night weekend event will take place in June 2026. Use the button on this page to find out more details.

Why learn with me?
As a certified Mountain Leader I have professional experience of leading groups on challenging multi-day hikes and expeditions both overseas and in the UK. I’m passionate about helping people of all abilities experience the joy of exploring the wilderness and at the same time discovering their creative potential.
In addition to private guiding, I work with different expedition and conservation organisations to tell the stories of people and places.
As the primary photographer and in-house creative at the British Exploring Society, I oversee all creative media based projects across their multi-week expedition programmes around the world.
Through experience, I know what it takes to successfully operate as a photographer in challenging and remote environments and achieve great creative results.
