##STORY:
Have you ever felt that you were at the very place you’re supposed to be? Where every kind of incertitude was ripped out, to leave only a strong feeling of motivation and excitement for the future…
Well, it’s what happened to me during this trip.
The memories from exploring the fjords of Senja will always count as some of my most precious, both as a photographer and a person. It was during this trip that I decided to live exclusively from my art, and stop working as a commercial photographer.
More than a decision, it was a revelation.
Being in nature was more fulfilling than anything else, and I wanted to dedicate my whole time to sharing this incredible feeling with others. It deeply influenced everything I did since that moment.

In 2018, I went on a photo trip with 5 other photographers to the beautiful Senja Island. We were hiking during the day, shooting during sunrise and sunset, and camping at night. It was intense, but the feeling of connection with nature was stronger than the sense of tiredness. This image was captured during the last sunset we spent on the island.
It was our second visit to Husfjellet, with the hope of capturing better conditions. When I saw the "Devil's Teeth" turning orange, I knew it would be a memorable moment. The funny fact is we were supposed to reach the top of the cliff on the left, but I couldn’t make it in time for sunset, and just two of us remained there. It allowed me to capture a unique composition while saving energy for hiking up again for our last sunrise. But this is another story…
The fjords of Senja are a fragile area, home to a complex ecosystem inhabited by humpback whales, orcas, sea eagles, and many other precious creatures.
