Who we are

AO Thor and Jorge Oporto’s journey together began in Iceland in 2021, where a shared passion for photography and the island’s stunning landscapes sparked an instant connection. As they explored Iceland’s diverse beauty through their lenses, a deep friendship blossomed, built on their mutual love of nature, photography, and travel. Since then, they’ve combined their expertise to help others experience and capture the magic of Iceland.

AO is the founder of *Arctic Advanced*, a renowned tour company offering expert-guided adventures across Iceland, where he shares his vast knowledge of the land’s wonders with travelers. Jorge, based in Southern California, provides professional photography services while helping clients plan their dream travels, especially on the West Coast, and guiding groups through unforgettable experiences.

Together, AO and Jorge are committed to showcasing Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes, teaching photography techniques, and guiding others to discover the island’s hidden gems—one photo at a time.
