TIPS FOR AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Our aircraft are designed for visibility, and our pilots are skilled at positioning you for the best angles. Here are a few practical tips to help you make the most of your photo flight:

Before the flight

• Plan your goals and equipment ahead of time — adjustments in the air are limited.
• Most photographers use lenses between 24–105 mm or 70–300 mm.
• Dress warmly in layered clothing; conditions can be cool with open windows.
• Communicate with your pilot about subjects or areas of interest.
• Morning and late afternoon usually offer the most favorable lighting.

During the flight

• Always follow the pilot’s instructions for safety.
• Secure all gear before opening windows.
• Keep equipment inside the aircraft — even lens hoods can cause turbulence.
• If you’re prone to motion sickness, consider preventive measures beforehand.
• Relax and enjoy the view — your pilot will help you find the right perspectives.

After the flight

PHOTOGRAPHERS’ EXPERIENCES

Just a note to say sincere thanks to Atlantsflug as they provided outstanding service for my aerial photography above south and central Iceland... Flying over Iceland, on the other hand, gives you a completely different perspective and you get the chance to photograph places you only dreamt of. — Bernhard Edmaier, 2019

Today might just have won the title of best day of my life! … The views wrapped around the plane from every angle and it’s hard to describe how freeing and relaxing the whole experience felt. — Rebecca Douglas

I did a flight with Atlantsflug when I was leading a photography workshop in Iceland and had a fantastic experience. Extremely helpful pilots, stunning landscapes, and professional service throughout. — Andy Mumford, 2018

We took off from Þórsmörk, flew up to Landmannalaugar, across to Langisjór and back down — the pilot was obviously very knowledgeable of the best locations to make good images. Everyone had a fantastic time. — Alex
