One of the majestic mountains I had the joy of photographing during my time up north.
The combination of calm, cold air and these towering peaks always leaves an impression🙂 #landscape #scenery
A sharp, pyramid-shaped mountain rises behind a snow-covered valley and a calm, reflective pool. The snow curves gently along the water’s edge, mirroring the peak in the still surface. Cool blue tones dominate the wintry landscape under a cloudy sky.

The iconic colored houses of Lofoten stand out even more beautifully when winter takes hold. There’s something so captivating about how these cabins cut through the snow and wind, adding warmth to an otherwise wild and weathered landscape! #blueskymonday
A red cabin stands on a snowy beach in Lofoten during a heavy snowstorm. In the distance, a couple walks along the shoreline, partly obscured by blowing snow.

Always drawn back to these wild northern beaches ❄️ Working on something more personal from the same place—quieter, more intimate scenes. Can’t wait to share more later this year!
For now, here’s a winter mood from recent trips. #landscape

While I usually focus on more intimate scenes these days, it’s fun to experiment with a wide angle—especially in a place like this. #Lofoten #LandscapePhotography”

What happens when fog and frost meets the unseen world of infrared light?
These photos capture how an IR-converted camera reveals familiar winter landscapes in entirely new ways, uncovering details and contrasts that feel almost otherworldly. Which one do you like the most? #nature #b&w
