Arctic Blue Hours
Norway, 2024
I remember when I was young, spending my summers in the countryside where my grandparents lived. Our house had many black and white photos, portraits on the wall, and albums. It was important to collect the images to tell our family's story and preserve it for other generations.
Photography became a main part of my life. That gives me the opportunity to create and express myself. It is my passion. The camera allows for capturing color, light, and objects, but the photographer decides what is important, and how to combine it to create something unique that is related to the moment or describes atmosphere and mood.
For me, the most important thing is the opportunity to explore different locations, nature, and be in different weather conditions. I enjoy shooting landscapes, fine art. I admire minimalism, monochrome, long exposure. My favorite time for shooting is in the early morning. The top locations are Norway, Iceland, France.
Thank you!

entry description
The Arctic winter, especially in the early morning or late evening hours, offers an incredible experience to explore. I admire the moment when the sun is just below the horizon, and everything around me is bathed in deep blue light. This creates a unique and magical atmosphere—a perfect time to connect with nature and feel its power and energy.Norway, 2024
