When I tell people that I go hiking in Lofoten, everyone says exactly the same thing: «There are many beautiful motifs there!» After a year here, I just reply: «You can swear to it!» No matter if it’s abstract photography or nature photography just pure nature, Lofoten has a lot to offer! Fascinating rock formations, amazing patterns in the sand, massive mountains, beautiful colors and majestic animals are just the tip of the iceberg.
For me, the wildlife has been the most amazing thing. In fact, there are so many seals here that you will get tired of photographing them! There are deer and moose just a few minutes’ walk from the school, and if you’re lucky and patient, you might even see both seals and bald eagles. Moreover, the class takes trips to areas where the fauna is completely different. In Dividalen, for example, there are bears, and on Røst and Værøy we saw Lund bird.
One of the best things about the naturfotoline is the community that forms around photography. Having amazing nature experiences together with other photographers is something truly special, and no matter what you suggest to do, there is always someone there.
This year has been the best of my life and I will always look back on it with a smile on my face.
