We enjoy the creative challenge of capturing nature’s essence on film and find it nice to be part of a team instead of the singular world of freelancing back home. To illustrate and document our journey we use both photography and a drone for aerial stills and video footage. The fact of being behind and in front of the camera is unfamiliar and exciting at the same time. I always love seeing how the photos turned out.

The drone offers us a new and thrilling perspective - I think of it as a flying tripod taking a camera high in the air and revealing a bird's eye view of the landscape. To get the right shot while on the water we have to take into account the risk of 'on-board' photography. One slight tilt and our gear can end up in the water. We recharge our photo equipment and the drone batteries on a regular basis using 2 solar panels and a power pack.

Working as an outdoor photographer in northern Norway is a gratifying and inspiring experience. The photo studio and the flashlights turn into a huge photography playground lit by the giant spotlight of the midnight sun. With 24 hours of daylight, surrounded by these sumptuous sceneries it is easy to forget the time. Every evening, after a long and intensive day, as my camera returns to its safe haven inside my pelican case, I say to myself; „I love my job, this is what I live for.“
