Private Photographer in Lapland

Aurora photography needs patience and someone who can read the sky, so a photographer and an aurora guide can be booked together.

Conditions

What to Know Before You Go

  • Aurora sessions are planned with the forecast, for a dark, clear sky
  • Winter light is short and low, which makes for the best daylight portraits
  • Cold drains camera batteries quickly, so sessions are paced with warm-up breaks
  • Still photography, video or both can be arranged
