It’s not without a reason that the expression ‘quiet before the storm’ is commonly used in the Lofoten Islands. The sun might break through the clouds and the ocean is nice and calm but you know a storm isn’t far away.
This shot was taken at the end of a 5-minute window of calm. Minutes later we had to find shelter for the high wind and painfully sharp snow.
Photographer: Christian Hoiberg Collection: 68 North A Visual Journey Through the Lofoten Islands Edition: 1/1 Size: 4000 × 2668
Imagine a place where the sun doesn't rise in winter and doesn't set in summer. A place where the night sky is dominated by explosions of green, red, and purple. A place where jagged mountains and angry oceans meet. A place where the weather is unforgiving. A place of beauty, peace, and solitude.
That place is the Lofoten Islands. An archipelago north of the Arctic Circle that could've been taken out of a fairytale.
My name is Christian Hoiberg and I'm a full-time photographer from Norway who's been living north of the Arctic circle for the past years. My main work is leading photography tours in Arctic regions and teaching photography online. I've written several ebooks and hundreds of articles to help aspiring photographers develop their skills.
Cold and stormy weather is what I'm passionate about photographing. It makes me feel alive.
