  1. Rock ptarmigans can be seen on almost every hike in Lofoten. Their conspicuous call is hard to miss and is a constant companion when travelling in the mountains.

    We love these little feathered friends, who have crossed our path so often.

  2. Cod is king in Lofoten. It's everywhere and not just hidden away on racks on a rock either. In the middle of towns the boats unload and fish is hung in the sub-zero air and the pristine winter landscape is imbued with the scent of oily cod.

    There's something about it all that I really really love :)

  3. When I first visited here over a decade ago this scene in Lofoten was empty. Nobody came in the winter, except for a few silly photographers like Bruce Percy, and then me.

    With each year the doubled and doubled. By 2020 it was a traffic jam on the Hamnøy bridge, shoulder to shoulder tripods and elbows.

  4. One of the great challenges with working in a moody duotone series is what happens when the sun comes out?

    Because that's a very common thing in the Arctic winter, and a special thing. Standing knee deep in powder snow with the sun flooding into the fjord is just magic.

  5. One of my favourite moments in the far north. Had planned this two years in advance for the perfect moon and solar scenario. Moonlight auroras are my jam, but you need a decent showing to compete with the moon.

    We'd had a lot of great showings that year, but this one was extra extra special. After standing out in the cold for an hour, we headed inside for hot chocolate and a jolly good laugh.
