Glaswegians wanted for dream job as Northern Lights photographer

Do you harbour a secret desire to travel the world?

Then this is the dream travel job for you.

A rental car company is offering a lucky applicant to drive around the ‘land of fire and ice’ in a luxury 4x4 for a week and experience the Northern Lights phenomenon in exchange for photographing the experience.

Even better, they will be paid 35,000 ISK, around £200, for their time.

You don’t need to be a professional photographer to apply, just someone with a passion for travel and telling stories through imagery and video.

The main focus of the trip though is to watch the Northern Lights dance across the sky, or aurora borealis as they’re officially known, and capture the beautiful waves of light on camera.

Therefore, the trip will take place during April 2022, when the night skies are dark enough to see the phenomenon.

Although the main focus of the trip is to watch the Northern Lights - or aurora borealis as they’re officially known, the successful applicant will be free to explore Iceland as they please during the week - visiting geysers and hot springs, driving the Golden Circle, and seeing the volcanoes and glaciers that create a landscape that is like nowhere else on Earth.

You don’t need to be a professional photographer to apply for this role but you do need to know the basics.

The role also wants you to have the ability to capture video footage using a range of recording tools, a passion for travel, be a natural storyteller and have a full, clean international driving licence and be aged over 25.

They will need to be available at the beginning of April 2022, as the trip must take place when the night skies are dark enough to see the phenomenon and capture the beautiful waves of light on camera.

You can find out more about the role here.
