Feelings of nature through the lens:
an English woman in Swedish Lappland
I first came to Porjus in the summer of 1995, for a holiday with my youngest son, to photograph the nature. After spending three weeks in the forest surrounded by a landscape which had no end, birds, animals and wonderful light, I had completely fallen in love with this wide and wild expanse.
After making several returns visits, each one lasting longer and longer, I made the decision to leave England and buy the old railway station house in Porjus. As well as my home, Porjus became the centre of my photographic work by opening a Photo Gallery in the summer of 1998 in the station house.
During the first year in Porjus I developed a fascination and passion for photographing the very special and unique Arctic Light. So many visitors to the north only see the midnight sun of summer. This is wonderful but to me the best time is during winter.
My work has been trying to capture on film all of this special winter light. The ever changing spectacle of the northern lights, the array of colours in the pearl clouds, the blue and pink winter days, even the ‘black and white‘ days have their own special quality. In photographic exhibitions and my bildspel “Reflections of Arctic Colour“ I hope I have given the viewer a glimpse of what I see through my camera and what I feel about living in this wonderful part of the world !“
