The Long Night https://journals.worldnomads.com/eydiselle/ Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:33:27 GMT World Nomads Adventures I am Elle; adventurer, photographer and environmentalist. I have just graduated with a degree in Marine & Natural History Photography and I am ready for my next adventure. The series you see here is from Svalbard, one of the destinations on my ‘list’ and it was just the most incredible place; indigo skies, diamond snow and a hardy Northern population. I am accustomed to the Arctic landscape and climate having travelled widely around Scandinavia, and Svalbard in the middle of winter. Using a camera in -30ºC was always going to be a challenge but with a but of initiative and warm hands I preserved and captured the darkness as I saw it in all its idiosyncratic seductive beauty. I shoot predominantly on transparency film, sometimes with a Mamiya RB67 or a Hasselblad 501CM. These photographs of Svalbard are digital but I would hope to shoot film in Greenland. I want to immerse myself photographically and truely into the Northern landscape. I am concerned about the Arctic people with the influx of adventure tourists seeking their next thrill, I want to learn to document the impact of this industry on the landscape and within the social capacities of the Greenlandic people. https://journals.worldnomads.com/eydiselle/photos/40957/Norway/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Norway eydiselle https://journals.worldnomads.com/eydiselle/photos/40957/Norway/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/eydiselle/photos/40957/Norway/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Fri, 24 May 2013 22:49:00 GMT 0
