I’d waited years to fly my drone over this stretch of coast.
Lofoten had lived on my saved tab for so long it had stopped feeling real. So when I finally got there, staying at a coliving lodge ten minutes’ drive from here, I went every morning, every lunch break, every spare hour around work. Before the sun came up, between calls, after meetings wrapped.
This was my first flight in Lofoten. The wind was right, the surfers were already in the water, and when the drone climbed and I saw what the sea was doing, I stopped. I’d never seen water that colour before. Six tones pulled from a single beach. Moss, sea glass, fjord slate, kelp, lichen, emerald, all sampled directly from the shots I took that morning at Unstad.
This is the first carousel in a new series: Colours of.., drawn from drone photographs of coastlines I’ve flown around the world. Norway felt like the only place to start. Lofoten was the trip that cemented why I do this work. Chasing what nature actually looks like from above, holding onto colours you can’t see from the ground.
I’m your gal if you love colours pulled straight from nature. Follow along. New Zealand, Norway, Cornwall, Devon, France, and the islands I haven’t been to yet are all coming. Or if one of these shades belongs on a wall in your home, DM me. Prints from the Lofoten collection ship worldwide.
