During the summer of 2022, I spent a lot of time in the Icelandic Highlands. I sometimes went on my own adventures but primarily I spent time there leading photography workshops. One of the most popular spots to photograph on these photo workshops is one of the biggest braided glacial rivers, located somewhere deep in the highlands. The first part of this video tackles how I approach photographing these river patterns using my drone. In the second part I show you how I piece together everything into one high resolution shot.
