Weather
We want to provide a remarkable landscape experience, but of the course we can’t control nature. As the workshop is always dependent on weather conditions, decisions on specific destinations might change on short term during our stay. Which doesn’t mean plan B will turn out less epic.

Risks & the nature of this workshop
Any activity in nature comes with a certain risk and even though our workshop will be accompanied by a skilled guide some risks can’t be eliminated due to nature itself and the nature of this workshop. These risk can come in a broad variety such as damage or loss to my equipment, accidental injury, illness, or in extreme cases, permanent trauma or death. The following describes some, but not all, of those risks: weather events such as storms, lightning, and high winds; exposure to heat, cold, or cold water resulting in hyperthermia, hypothermia, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke; injuries related to hiking over uneven terrain or falling from heights such as muscle or joint strains and sprains, and broken bones; drowning in ocean waters or inland streams; injuries related to physical exertion including exhaustion, stroke, or cardiac events; and damage to photography equipment.
We and the guides are doing everything we can to provide you with the needed knowledge and safety for you to fully enjoy the workshop in an epic landscape, but even with full preparation risks can’t be eliminated to zero. We will spend a lot of time outside and nature is wild. You can accompany this workshop with normal health conditions and no special training is required to join. Just be aware that we will walk and hike for up to several hours in a mountainous environment including our photography gear and that the environment can be extremely windy, wet and slippery. You will certify that you are fully capable to participate in the workshop, fully responsible for yourself and have the skills and knowledge to do so.
Insurance
We highly recommend an international health insurance covering COVID costs and a travel cancellation insurance covering the costs of your trip.
