Northern lights in northern Iceland.
Less than a month before the start of the northern lights season (which ends at the beginning of April), the Rangá hotel, located in the south of Iceland, continues looking for an official photographer that is capable of capturing (in photos and videos) this nature spectacle. In exchange, he will offer the chosen one room and board for a month so that he only has to focus on photographing the amazing icelandic night skies.
Located between the towns of Hella and Hvolsvöllur, this Small Luxury Hotels of the World wishes increase your portfolio of Northern Lights photos and videos –it is a regular in the lists of the best places in the world to catch them– and for this reason it offers a stay (between September and October) to the chosen professional, who will have access to your astronomical observatory.
Also the hotel will bear the cost of round trip flights to the nordic country and will facilitate access to its sister (and remote) hotel: The Highland Center Hrauneyjar, in the Icelandic highlands.

PHOTOGRAPHER REQUIREMENTS
They tell us from the hotel that they have received about 2,000 applications from more than 40 different countries and that will announce the name of the chosen person at the end of August. So, if you are thinking of applying, you should do it as soon as possible.
But what will they value when choosing their official Northern Lights photographer? "We are looking for a talented photographer, who already knows how to shoot in the dark, preferably who has some experience photographing the Aurora . It is very complex, so we will seek a strong presence in social networks".
They assure from the Rangá hotel that they frequently work with photographers, so They have a large collection of photographs of the polar aurora, but on this occasion, by offering a monthly stay, they intend to give the photographer the opportunity to explore different creative ways to capture auroral activity.

They should also provide the reasons why they should become your official Northern Lights photographer.
