A Light in the Dark

A Light in the Dark is a portfolio series that features one of my favorite natural phenomena: the Northern Lights / Aurora Borealis.

Those who have stood beneath a night sky exploding in colors know that it's hard to describe the experience, either with words or photographs. It’s an experience unlike any other. One that sticks with you for a lifetime.

My goal when photographing the Northern Lights is to tell a story beyond just the display on the sky. I want to incorporate this phenomenon into the beautiful surroundings of the Arctic and make you, the viewer, feel present.

The images in this gallery are a handful of my favorite Northern Lights images I’ve captured in the Lofoten Islands, and beyond.

I’ve spent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours under the night sky patiently waiting for the Northern Lights to show. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. The one thing that’s certain, is that you never get bored of witnessing a good display.
