It’s finally here… The House Sitter is now live!

I’m incredibly proud to share that our short film is now public for everyone to watch. This project has been an amazing journey, and I couldn’t have done it without the dedication, talent, and support of our incredible cast and crew.

From early call times to long shoot days, everyone brought their passion, creativity, and energy to make this film what it is — and I’m so grateful to have worked alongside such a great team.

To everyone who supported the project along the way — whether you pledged, shared, or simply encouraged us — thank you. It truly means a lot.

Stave Aurora I

I took this image during a road trip through the Lofoten Islands. One night I found myself camped out in a small remote village beside the sea with no one else around. That night the sky came alive with the northern lights, drifting slowly across the stars above this small cabin. It was one of the most spectacular scenes I’d witnessed on the trip, and I was lucky enough to capture it.

I’ve decided to release this image as a limited edition fine art print called Stave Aurora I.

It’s produced as an acrylic-mounted print which really brings out the depth and colour in the aurora.

Available as a standalone piece or displayed together with Stave Aurora II as a paired artwork:
• Limited edition of 10
• Signed and numbered
• Certificate of authenticity included
• Acrylic mounted and ready to hang

Stave Aurora — Limited Edition Release

This pair of images was captured during a road trip through the Lofoten Islands in northern Norway. One night I found myself camped beside the sea in a small remote village with no one else around when the northern lights began drifting across the sky above this glowing cabin.

It was one of the most spectacular scenes I experienced on the trip, and over the course of a few minutes I captured two frames as the aurora slowly shifted across the sky.

Those images have now been released as Stave Aurora I and Stave Aurora II, a limited edition fine art series.

Professionally produced using archival materials and acrylic mounting, the prints are designed to bring out the depth, colour, and atmosphere of the northern lights.

Each artwork is released as a limited edition of 10 and can be collected individually or displayed together as a paired piece.

• Certificate of authenticity included
• Acrylic mounted and ready to hang
