Our tours to Nuuk, Greenland were very succesful with Ron in 2022 & 24, and Ron is excited to return next year with a group of like-minded fellow photographers who want to be at the right place at the right time.

The accommodations in Western Greenland are located in the center of Nuuk with choice of restaurants to walk to, and boat excursions in heated cabin with bathroom on board.

Greenland will also include one evening of ‘Glamping’. Your private boat will cruise along the fjords and end up at your glamping site in which you will overnight one evening under the stars.

There is a pathway from the dock to the tent site (see images) and an ATV is on site should someone need assistance. Anyone who is reasonably fit and able to handle their own gear will enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. We also highly recommend taking collapsible walking sticks in Greenland should you decide to venture further afield.

Join accomplished photographer, teacher, and guide, Ron Rosenstock on this special tour of Western Greenland. Ron is a veteran tour leader, taking a groups since 2005 and to Greenland since 2017; he has also conducted more than 200 tours to numerous other destinations worldwide.

Ron taught photography at Clark University in Worcester for thirty years. He has published five books of his exquisite black and white photographs: The Light of Ireland, Hymn to the Earth, Chiostro (Cloister), Inspirations (Iceland), and Invisible Light (infrared images) His color book, Journeys, contains work from multiple countries. Ron has had over one hundred solo exhibitions, both in the U.S. and abroad, and his photographs can be found in the permanent collections of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, the Worcester Art Museum in Worcester, Massachusetts, and the International Center of Photography in New York City.

Ron is happy to share his vision, insight, and technical expertise with all who travel with him. Although he now uses a digital camera, his philosophy of teaching has not changed since his early large-format-film days. Ron believes that the photograph comes from within. He teaches exercises that will help that creative spirit come to the surface. These may consist of 1) entry ways to seeing, and 2) photographing in the NOW. Ron also addresses practical aspects of photographing with a digital camera as needed and demonstrates post-capture digital editing using a digital projector during several evening teaching sessions. He will share his thoughts on printing, exhibiting, and getting your work out there.

Most people who travel with Ron have a basic understanding of how their digital cameras work. Others know everything about their camera. All participants are welcome. Although Ron’s approach is grounded on technical competence, he believes it is more important to be aware of one’s own creative process.

What to Expect
Enjoy five evenings in Greenland in very comfortable accommodations. Weather permitting, there will be two chances to photograph the Northern Lights, one from your Glamping overnight stay and the other in Nuuk (see Ron’s cover photo). All participants need to be able to get in and out of boats with their camera gear in hand (which are easily accessible via docks) and go out on various walks during your stay (walking sticks recommended, if you choose to walk over uneven surfaces). Strabo Tours will distribute recommended flights for clients to book. This should be done as soon you are notified, as flights do not operate every day of the week and you certainly want to be on the group flight with entire group. Non-stop Round trip tickets from Newark are approximiately $1350 at this time, per person.

Be prepared for early morning and evening cold temps, with long hours outside each day. Given this information, you will be amazed by the landscape and imagery you capture in these beautiful, untamed settings. It’s a must see for all photographers.

Meals will be of the local variety, which will consist of seafood, and lamb, with limited meat and chicken while in Greenland. Notify Strabo Tours of any dietary restrictions. You may wish to pack specific snacks in your checked luggage.

It is fairly common for flights (domestic and International) to be delayed or even canceled for a day or more due to the Arctic weather. The flights to Greenland are limited and do not take place every day. For these reasons, we strongly encourage you to take out travel insurance, as Strabo Tours cannot be held responsible for Airline changes or cancellations.
