The Aurora Doesn’t Care About Your Itinerary.
Every year, countless travelers fly to Iceland or Norway, spend thousands of dollars — and come home with nothing but blurry, green-smudged disappointment.
It’s not because you’re a bad photographer. It’s because nobody told you where to actually stand, what KP index to watch, which app to trust, or how to set up your Canon R5 for a fast-moving display.
The difference between a once-in-a-lifetime image and a forgettable trip isn’t luck. It’s preparation. And preparation is exactly what I sell.
Your Personal Aurora Expert.
On Call Before You Go.
In a single focused session, we cover everything you need — no generic advice, no blog posts, no guesswork, no AI. Pure, personalized expertise built around your trip, your camera, and your goals.
Specific Location Scouting
I’ll give you specific locations scouted for your dates, terrain, and composition goals – not generic “popular spots.”
Weather & Solar Mastery
I’ll teach you exactly which forecasting tools to use, how to read KP index and cloud cover maps, and how to make a go/no-go call in real time.
Custom Camera Settings
Tell me your camera model and lenses. I’ll give you a starting exposure recipe, back-button focus setup, and interval settings for your specific kit.
Personalized Chase Plan
A day-by-day framework based on your travel dates, mobility, and accommodation — so you’re never caught off guard when the sky lights up.
App & Gear Toolkit
I’ll walk you through the exact apps, clothing strategy, and field checklist I use on every professional chase — so nothing is left to chance.
Peace of Mind
Land knowing you are prepared. Not hoping. Not guessing. Prepared — with a professional in your corner who has done this hundreds of times.
Think of It as Trip Insurance
That Actually Pays Out.
You’ll spend $7,000–$12,000 on flights, hotels, and gear. You’ll spend hours researching on YouTube and Reddit. For $199–$249 — less than a single night’s accommodation — you get a direct line to someone who has chased the aurora professionally across Iceland, Northern USA, Canada, Norway, and Alaska.
The question isn’t whether you can afford this session. The question is whether you can afford to show up without it.
Two Tiers. One Goal:
You Get the Shot.
Both sessions are conducted via video call (Zoom or Google Meet) and scheduled at a time that works for your timezone. All sessions are recorded and sent to you afterwards.
