Swiss landscape and nature photographer Stefan Forster brings us with him on his trip to Iceland for episode 1 of the web series, Light Hunter. In this first episode, you can see Forster working in beautiful Iceland as he discusses his process of planning images. There is a lot of careful consideration that goes into each session in the field.

There will be nine free episodes of Light Hunter released online. A feature film including footage from the nine episodes plus additional segments is available on Vimeo on demand now for $7.99 USD or $6.99 USD for a 48-hour rental period. The next free episode will be available from December 11th.

Light Hunter was made in conjunction with Nikon and you can see him using a Nikon D810 DSLR and Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens.
