The Misty Mountains expedition takes us deep into rugged terrain rarely visited by photographers. Unlike more accessible regions of Northern Norway, this area remains quiet and largely untouched.

We camp in the mountains, positioning ourselves where the light is best at crucial times. Instead of driving between locations, we live within the landscape for the week.

Low clouds drifting through valleys, layers of receding ridgelines, reflections in isolated lakes, and dramatic mountain silhouettes are all part of what makes this region special. When conditions align, the atmosphere can feel almost surreal, yet completely authentic to Northern Norway’s raw character.

With a maximum of eight participants, the group remains small and focused. The long days spent hiking together create space not only for photography, but for deeper discussions about vision, composition and creative growth.

This is a physically demanding expedition.

There is no technical climbing involved, but we hike through steep, rugged terrain while carrying full backpacks, including tents and personal gear. You should have solid hiking experience and feel comfortable spending long days in the mountains under variable weather conditions.

In return, you gain access to locations that very few photographers ever reach.

Photography throughout the week is entirely landscape-focused. We work hands-on in the field with composition in complex mountain terrain, adapting to changing weather and using the atmosphere creatively rather than fighting it.

Some participants may need technical refinement. Others benefit more from guidance in simplifying scenes or strengthening their visual storytelling. With such a small group, we adapt to each individual rather than teaching from a fixed script.

The goal is not simply to capture impressive scenes. It is to help you leave with stronger decision-making skills in demanding environments.

The expedition runs over six days in the mountains near Evenes, north of Lofoten. The nearest airport is Harstad/Narvik (Evenes).

The exact hiking route is determined closer to departure to ensure we choose the most suitable areas based on seasonal and weather conditions. Flexibility is an essential part of working in remote mountain terrain, and decisions are always made with both safety and photographic potential in mind.

Each day typically involves relocating camp or exploring surrounding peaks and viewpoints from a central base.

During the midnight sun period, the rhythm of the days shifts naturally. We often photograph late into the evening or through the night when the light softens, and the mountains glow. Mornings are slower, allowing time to rest, recover, and move deliberately rather than rushing to the next camp.

Evenings around camp are simple and social. We cook, talk, share experiences from the day, and sometimes just sit quietly, watching the light change across the landscape. The stillness of the mountains becomes part of the experience.
