I've got a couple of spots open for my August trip to the Palouse (Spring sold out sorry!). I have to admit that the harvest time in the Palouse is my favorite time photographically! Spring is nice, but during August, the creative possibilities and the artistic challenges are incredible! So much more color, texture, shapes to play with to create a composition. Check it out and join me if you've wanted to visit this amazing location! https://johnpedersenphoto.com/event/palouse-harvest-photo-workshop/

What it looks like standing on a frozen lagoon in Iceland and flying drones in sub-zero temps with frozen fingers. Good times!

I'm still in awe of my experience sailing the fjords of Greenland aboard a wooden sailboat. What an amazing life experience! I have a ton of photos left to process, but in the meantime, I've pulled almost 100 photos into my latest e-book, Chasing Big Ice. The book is 146 pages long and chronicles my week long experience photographing the big ice and massive landscapes of the Scoresby Sound in Greenland. I'm hoping to bring a group from the US here in 2026 if you're interested, drop me a note. In the meantime, consider reading along on my journey in the book below.
EBook - Chasing Big Ice - John Pedersen Photography A thoughtful examination of reflections in photographic compositions is full of beautiful images and inspiring quotes all related to reflections.
