Founder of SheClicks, camera reviewer, cake connoisseur and enthusiastic encourager of getting your knees muddy in pursuit of the perfect shot.

Angela is the driving force behind SheClicks, our community of female photographers who are always up for a creative challenge – and possibly a slice of cake. With a career that’s included writing for Amateur Photographer, Digital Camera, PhotoPlus and more camera reviews than you can shake a tripod at, she knows her way around photographic kit – but this trip is all about you taking the pictures.

Co-leading with the brilliant Emily Endean, Angela will be on hand to offer advice, encouragement and the occasional nudge towards a stream if the reflection is just right. She’ll have a camera or two with her, mostly to document your Icelandic adventures but her main job is to help you make the most of yours.

Angela started SheClicks in 2018 to create a welcoming space for women at all stages of their photography journey – from phone snappers to full-frame fanatics – and it’s grown into a thriving community of over 15,000 members. She’s passionate about helping people build confidence with their cameras, express themselves creatively and avoid the trap of thinking photography has to be done a certain way.

When she’s not leading photography trips, recording the SheClicks podcast or testing the latest gear, Angela lives in Oxfordshire with her partner and their particularly pampered border terrier. She’s a fan of long exposures, wide-angle lenses and pretty much any excuse to be near the coast – and if you want to win her over, a well-made almond slice will do the trick.

So if you're unsure about your settings, wondering which lens to use or debating whether it's worth kneeling in icy water for that perfect composition... Angela’s here to help. (And the answer is probably yes.)

Let’s explore Iceland together and create some unforgettable images – and maybe get our feet a bit wet in the process.

Photographer, storyteller, wave-chaser and early morning light enthusiast (yes, she actually likes mornings).

Emily is co-leading the SheClicks Iceland trip and if anyone can make crawling out of a warm bed to photograph a freezing sunrise sound like a good idea, it’s her. She’s a former Fujifilm X Photographer (Ambassador), an award-winning landscape and seascape shooter and someone who sees beauty in moody skies, crashing waves and wet socks.

Her photography journey began with an old film camera and some impressively blurry childhood snaps. Things got a bit more serious in 2012 when she set up Emily Endean Photography alongside a day job, and in 2022 she made the leap to full-time photographer life. That same year she, her wife and their collection of pets hit the road in a classic Hymer van and haven’t stopped adventuring since.

Emily is completely obsessed with the outdoors. She’s happiest knee-deep in sea foam, chasing light across a windswept coastline or photographing ripples so close-up you start to wonder if you’ve shrunk. Her images are packed with atmosphere and feeling, and she’s got a real knack for helping others capture the emotion in a scene too.

She’s been published in Amateur Photographer, Digital Camera and Outdoor Photography, and her work has picked up awards from the British Photography Awards, Landscape Photographer of the Year, Garden Photographer of the Year and the Guild of Photographers. She also runs workshops and tours, writes beautifully about photography and somehow finds time to make YouTube videos from her travels.

On this trip, Emily will be the one encouraging you to try a new technique, go a little wider, shoot a little lower or embrace the drizzle in the name of good light. She’s relaxed, down to earth and always up for helping you push your creativity – especially if there’s coffee involved.

Emily’s dream superpower? The ability to summon perfect light or dramatic skies at will. Her favourite baked good? A vegan sausage roll from her local café. Her general outlook on life? If you’re cold and slightly damp but grinning because you got the shot, then you’re doing it right.

So grab your camera and a decent pair of boots – Iceland is calling and Emily’s ready to explore it with you.

Hanna grew up in the north of Iceland in Akureyri before moving to Reykjavík in her early twenties. She has worked in the travel industry for over 25 years, starting her career with travel agencies where she gained extensive experience with both incoming and outgoing travel.

Over the past four years Hanna has worked as a guide, beginning as a hiking guide in the Icelandic highlands and leading food tours in Reykjavík. For the last two years she has been working full-time as a certified driver-guide, leading both private tours and small group trips around Iceland.

Hanna guided the SheClicks groups in 2026 and 2027, so she already knows the style and pace of the trip and understands exactly what the group is looking for from a photography itinerary.

Friendly, energetic and outgoing, Hanna loves meeting new people and sharing the landscapes, culture and hidden corners of her beautiful country with visitors.

We begin our day early, traveling to a local horse farm to photograph Iceland’s legendary horses at sunrise—majestic, shaggy-coated, and backlit by soft morning light.

From here, we journey to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most powerful waterfalls, where dramatic cascades tumble into a rugged canyon.

We finish the day in the geothermal area of Geysir, where erupting hot springs provide an otherworldly setting for twilight photos. If the sky is clear, we may return after dark to capture this steaming terrain beneath a curtain of stars and auroras.

Breakfast

Those keen for an early start can revisit Geysir at sunrise before we begin our scenic drive along Iceland’s dramatic South Coast. Our first stop is the mighty Skógafoss, a powerful waterfall often framed by rainbows in the mist.

We then visit Sólheimajökull glacier, where striking ice formations, deep crevasses and ash-streaked textures create fascinating photographic opportunities.

Continuing along the coast, we stop at the dramatic cliffs of Dyrhólaey for sweeping views over the black sand beaches and Atlantic waves below. As the day winds down, we arrive at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, famous for its basalt columns and towering sea stacks—perfectly timed for golden hour.

After dinner, we’ll keep an eye on the skies and, if conditions allow, head out in search of the Northern Lights over the seaside village of Vík.

Breakfast

Leaving Vík behind, we journey eastward through the ethereal Eldhraun Lava Fields, a vast expanse of moss-covered lava that creates beautiful patterns and textures for photography.

If conditions allow, we’ll stop at the dramatic Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, carved by glacial waters over thousands of years, before visiting the basalt column floor at Kirkjubæjarklaustur. We’ll also pause at the picturesque Fossálar waterfalls, a lesser-known series of cascades surrounded by rugged volcanic landscapes.

Continuing east, we reach the striking Svínafellsjökull glacier, an outlet of Europe’s largest ice cap, where jagged ice formations and sweeping glacier views provide a dramatic setting for photography.

Tonight, we settle in for two nights surrounded by towering glaciers and stark natural beauty. If the skies are clear, we’ll head out once more in search of the Northern Lights.

Breakfast

We rise early for a sunrise session at the breathtaking Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where icebergs drift slowly across a mirror-like lake. Just across the road, Diamond Beach sparkles with chunks of crystal-clear ice washed ashore, perfect for striking close-ups and long exposures.

We’ll spend time exploring and photographing both locations, allowing plenty of opportunity to capture the ever-changing light and ice formations.

For those looking for an extra adventure, there is the option to join a private Ice Cave tour, venturing into the glowing blue interior of a glacier with camera in hand.

As darkness falls, we’ll once again keep watch for the Northern Lights, hoping for another magical display in this extraordinary landscape.

Breakfast

Today, we make our way back west along the South Coast, with opportunities to revisit favourite photography stops in a new light. We'll arrive back in Reykjavik in the late afternoon.

For those looking to unwind and shoot in style, there's the option to visit the Sky Lagoon, where you can relax in a stunning geothermal infinity pool overlooking the ocean, an incredible spot to shoot the contrast of water, steam, and twilight sky.
