An exclusive photographic retreat hosted by Alex Strohl
September 2025 - Loften, Norway

Join Alex on a 5-day/6-night adventure photography course set in one of world’s most striking landscapes. Alongside other like-minded photographers, Alex and Norwegian local Joel Hyppönen will personally guide you to many of the lesser know locations they have explored over the years on a brand new retreat format. A series of unique, real commercial shoot opportunities have been coordinated with brands and locals, giving you exclusive access and insights you wouldn’t get otherwise.
