About me

Being based in Northern Norway is like being based in a photographers playground. Fjords, mountains, auroras and the midnight sun are just some of the perks of living well within the arctic circle.

 

Hi There!

My name is Tor-Ivar Næss and I am a landscape photographer from Northern Norway.
My passion is capturing the beauty of the northern lights, and I love nothing more than spending my nights out in the wild, camera in hand, waiting for the aurora to dance across the sky.
I have been lucky enough to experience the northern lights many times, and I have been able to capture some truly stunning photos of this natural phenomenon.
My goal is to share the beauty of the north with the world, and to inspire others to explore and appreciate the natural world around them.

With over a decade of experience in this field, I have developed a deep appreciation for the natural World and a keen eye for capturing its wonders on camera.

As an ambassador for Sony Nordic, ASUS ProArt and Alfa Sko, I am dedicated to bring my vision life.

When I´m not out in the field, you can sharing my passion photography through workshops and lectures or spending time with my family and exploring the great outdoors.

 

Thank you for visiting my website and taking the time to learn more about my work. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.
