Northern lights are one of the great natural wonders left for modern people. A show provided by Mother Nature for those who want to experience something special. There is something mystical in the hours after daylight. A different part of the world awakes. The sounds are different. The landscape changes. With this book I want to guide you to the beautiful world of night photography and teach you how to catch the elusive auroras yourself.
I have photographed landscapes around the world for over a decade now and the past years I’ve focused mainly on night landscapes and northern lights. I’ve spent countless nights observing the phenomena and photographing it in different environments. I’ve tested my gear and knowledge through the freezing cold nights in Lapland and all the way to mountain tops in northern Norway. Along the way I’ve learnt the best ways to find and capture the northern lights. Now I want to share this knowledge and experience with all of you!
