A good photography layer has to solve two opposing problems. It needs to keep you comfortable while you are moving, then keep you warm when you stop and wait for the light.

Graphene-X supplied me with its GRAnaREC APEX Mid Layer, and the Icelandic Highlands were exactly the kind of environment I wanted to wear it in. Out here, temperatures and activity levels can change quickly, while every litre of space in the camera bag matters.

The APEX uses Graphene-X’s Weather Adaptive Insulation, designed to create more insulating air pockets in colder conditions and release excess heat as things warm up. Its GRAPHINSULATE fill combines graphene-enhanced fibres with aerogel-integrated insulation, delivering warmth without unnecessary bulk.

Add a waterproof Nylon 66 ripstop shell, thermal lining, modular hood and self-packable design, and it becomes a genuinely versatile piece of outdoor kit.

For me, that is the real attraction: this feels engineered as equipment, rather than simply styled as outdoor clothing. It is made for movement, changing weather and the long waits that are such a big part of landscape photography.

And the APEX is only one part of the Graphene-X range. The GRAnaREC AIR offers a lighter, highly packable option; the AeroGraph Puffer is built for greater warmth; the ThermAdapt Heated Jacket adds intelligent heating and modular construction; and the Nomad(e) Ultralight Waterproof Jacket gives you a compact waterproof shell for the bag.

If you shoot, hike or travel in conditions that rarely stick to the forecast, take a look at the full range.

Only Locals.

I'm slowly making my way through c.12 weeks of images from the last couple of years in Lofoten for a book. I know it sounds daft but it's a little overwhelming to know where to begin sometimes so I leave it again another day. And another day. And so on.

Some of the things I've found are not only the makings of brilliance in their own right but after so much time here I've learnt exactly when the rare arctic light breaks, where it hits, and which spots require exactly which conditions to perfect the photographs.

This isn't really a commercial endeavour. A high calibre book takes years and years to perfect. It isn't the kind of thing you should expect to knock out in the early days. It needs to display imagery you've created. Not, seen somewhere and shot a version of. And not a collection of honeypots across the seasons. It needs to have meaning. Something learnt. Something found. Something of you. Something unique.

So moments like this stay dormant some more. Which is a shame. This was another special morning. Literally the most astounding localised light at a spot no one goes to. Still haven't seen any other photos from here 2 years on, save from the lovely folks I've taken here on my own phototours.

It's quite a personal thing actually, to take another photographer to something amazing that only you've found and photographed. But it's also a lovely feeling to give something of value away, to the right kind of person of course, and to see them enjoy and appreciate you passing the baton.

There's no greater feeling now than seeing one of my students produce a wonderful image from a place like this. I tend not to stand over people's shoulders all the time and after getting you going, you've got to be allowed engage in the landscape your way and be left to it. So when I see the images from workshops afterwards it can be a lovely surprise. A really warming feeling.

Just once in a while that becomes an "oh my god what a shot" moment. The kind of, yeh, they don't need me anymore kind of fond feeling. And that's a workshop leaders job. To make moments like this happen for whoever puts their faith in you 🙂

Stubbing Court in the Peak District is a tricky location to shoot. It really does need a burning sky like this to provide the balance in the frame on the left of the image otherwise the little boathouse feels a bit out of place on the right. It's the ideal time of year for it too. As golden hour begins before the burning colour hits you'll get some nice side light hitting the boathouse, now a little worse for wear but still standing. Keep an eye out for more hints and tips on the prime locations in the Peak District for landscape photography and how to shoot them with purpose and intent when they are at their best. It's a beautiful place.

One of those mornings where everything quietly aligns.

I’ve shared a full post from this shoot over on my feed if you want to see how it unfolded - this was just the beginning.

The light that followed shifted into something else entirely, and I’m currently running a vote over on my stories to decide which of those frames makes it into the book.

If you’ve got a minute, go take a look and have your say.

LAST PLACE REMAINING
Iceland Highlands & South Coast Photography Workshop
Aug 26th - Sept 1st 2026

Skógafoss under the aurora.

This was one of those rare nights where everything aligned. Aurora sweeping across the falls, a lone figure for scale, composition exactly as I’d imagined. No composite, just a single frame in the right place at the right time.

This is exactly the kind of opportunity I build these workshops around. Not just being there, but being in the right place, at the right time, with guidance on how to actually capture it.

We’ll visit Skógafoss as part of the South Coast stretch, breaking away from the Highlands to take in some of Iceland’s most iconic locations under the best possible conditions.

Only one place left.

– Small group
– Single occupancy rooms (no sharing)
– One base for the Highlands - no constant packing/unpacking

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is it.

Book your place over at demirayoral.com or the link to the workshop is on my Instagram bio or drop me a DM if you have any questions 👍🏼
