Another encounter with the northern forests and one of their most fascinating predators — the wolverine.
This photo was taken at TaigaBear in Kuusamo, Finland, from one of their professional wildlife hides. The wolverine is an incredibly cautious animal, and that comes through clearly in the way it keeps moving and repeatedly rises onto its hind legs to scan the surroundings. It seems to be constantly checking what is happening around it, ready to disappear from the scene if something doesn't feel right.
For me, this is one of the great things about photographing wildlife from a hide. You can observe animals in their natural surroundings without disturbing them, while still getting a glimpse into their behaviour and personality. And this little guy certainly has plenty of both.
Next week I’ll be heading back to Kuusamo, although this time I won’t be sitting in a wildlife hide. I’m going to take part in the Kuusamo Nature Photo event, and I also have some video work planned. More about that later.
Until then, have a great end to the week and enjoy the northern summer! 📷🌿

It’s always a special feeling when a photograph you have already seen succeed finds a new audience. This image has now received an Honorable Mention in the IPA 2026 International Photography Awards, in the Nature/Landscape category.
Interestingly, it also received an Honorable Mention in the 1839 Photography Awards — with a slightly different title. So perhaps the photograph decided it needed a new name for its next adventure. 😄
The journey of this image has also taken it to the pages of the German travel magazine Merian, which makes this recognition even more meaningful.
I’m sincerely grateful for this success. Moments like these are a wonderful reminder that the time spent waiting for the right conditions, light and atmosphere is worth it.
Thank you, IPA Awards, for this honour. It gives me fresh motivation and inspiration to continue the journey and see what the next photograph might bring. 🙏📷

Have you ever driven north through Norway during a summer night, heading towards the Arctic coast while the midnight sun is shining relentlessly through the windshield? After enough hours of driving, even your eyes may start complaining about those supposedly good sunglasses. I know the feeling — it happened to me again this summer on my way to Havøysund.
Still, I wouldn't really call it a problem. I love the midnight sun, and instead of worrying about the glare, I spent most of the journey watching the landscape and searching for the right place to pull over, get the tripod out and photograph that incredible northern light.
I stopped somewhere along the route and found this view. Photographing straight into the sun can certainly be challenging, but sometimes the light is simply too beautiful to ignore. The warm tones and gentle shadows created a landscape that, to me, feels very much like a northern summer night.
Hopefully you can feel at least a little of that magic in this photograph. Have a great week and enjoy wherever your own journey takes you. 🌅📷

The summer is slowly fading behind us, and with it, the midnight sun has once again slipped below the horizon. Luckily, it is only gone for a while and will be back next summer. Somehow, that feels like a rather comforting thought, doesn't it?
This photograph was taken in Havøysund, Northern Norway, during one of those beautiful moments when the midnight sun fills the landscape with warm, gentle light. My stay there was far too short this time, leaving me with the feeling that there is still much more to discover.
Perhaps that is not such a bad thing. Some places simply make you want to come back, and Havøysund is definitely one of them. Next summer I hope to return with more time, more exploring, and of course, more opportunities to photograph this remarkable landscape.
Thank you for following along on my journey. Have a wonderful weekend, and don't forget to enjoy nature. 🌅📷

If I had to choose one genre of photography that feels most like me, it would probably be landscape photography. I enjoy wildlife and product photography as well, especially when the surroundings add something to the image, but landscapes are where my real passion lies.
There is something fascinating about trying to see a photograph before it actually exists. The location, the season, the direction of the light and the weather all play their part. I like to imagine what a familiar place could look like under completely different conditions and then wait for that moment when everything finally comes together.
This is Sandfjorden, a place you may recognise from some of my earlier posts. I have photographed this beach in many different conditions, but this time I wanted to see how its character would translate into black and white.
For me, the monochrome version brings out the calmness, shapes and subtle textures of the beach, while removing some of the distractions that colour can bring.
Do you prefer this version?
Have a great weekend, and thanks for coming along for the journey. 📷🌿

A few more thoughts from the road.
I have to admit, this young bear is slowly becoming one of my favorites. I’ve already shared a couple of photographs from the same session, but after looking through the nearly 60 frames I captured, I keep noticing something new in his expressions and behavior.
There is definitely a curious little personality behind those eyes. Then again, the possibility of getting another tasty treat might explain some of that curiosity! 😄 Either way, he was a fascinating character to photograph.
Digital photography certainly has its advantages. Compared with the days of film, you can take a huge number of frames and make the real decisions later, when you have time to look at every image properly.
The downside is that those thousands of photographs eventually have to be sorted, edited and sometimes deleted. A long photography trip can create quite a mountain of work once you get home!
Still, I wouldn’t trade that part of the process either. Sometimes the best photograph is hiding among the frames you almost overlooked.
More from the journey later. Thanks for following along!
Have a great late summer! 🌿📷

Another moment from the TaigaBear hide in Kuusamo, Finland.
I don’t usually find rear-view wildlife photographs particularly interesting — I suppose that’s a fairly common opinion. But this young bear made me change my mind.
It moved cautiously around the area, repeatedly standing on its hind legs to check its surroundings. From the hide, I could almost sense its uncertainty and constant alertness. In the world of a young bear, being careful is probably a very good survival strategy.
Sometimes a photograph doesn’t need to show the animal’s face to tell a story. I think this one captures something of this young bear’s character and its cautious relationship with the world around it.
What do you think?
Thank you for following my journey and sharing these moments with me. 📷🐻
Have a wonderful weekend! I’ll probably be heading out to do some video work in a nearby national park. My project is still very much a work in progress. 😊
