Journal

As an Arctic guide and wildlife photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing some of the world’s most breathtaking moments in one of the planet’s most remote regions.

Here, I share behind-the-scenes stories from my travels, personal encounters with wildlife, photography tips, and insights from the photo tours I lead. Whether you’re looking to improve your own photography or simply enjoy the wild beauty of the North, I hope these stories inspire you to see the Arctic in a whole new light.
