PERSONAL WORK / Photographing Lofoten Behind The Scenes with Joel Hyppönen

Norwegian on his mother’s side, London-based photographer Alex Fleming naturally feels right at home in the Scandinavian country. His favourite time to go? During the summer, when the region is treated to the midnight sun phenomenon. In the middle of the night and early morning hours, while most residents and tourists sleep, the landscape is transformed into a private playground flooded with soft golden light as the sun hangs low over the horizon. With frequent rain showers and fast-moving cloud cover, the time passes quickly, and the beauty of it all becomes all the more profound for its fleeting nature.
