About

Five winters in the Arctic.

I have worked in the Lappish tourism industry for the last five years, across both the UK and Finland, with experience in media, leisure and general tourism.

I ski, I love the cold weather, and I have a passion for the outdoors and for photography. That is the short version of why I am still up here every December.

The conditions, honestly.

Around Christmas the sun barely clears the fells, so most of the day is blue light and long shadows. It is the best light of the year and it is also gone by mid afternoon. I plan sessions around it rather than fighting it, and I carry spare batteries, because nothing else does well at minus thirty.
