Olsen from Olderdalen in K\u00e5fjord. His camera has been his companion since he was a child, and in summer and winter he has hunted for the magical light in the north. This has resulted in several awards and honourable mentions for the nature-loving photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>- \"The camera has inspired me to get out and about. It's with me on hikes and skiing trips, and when I'm cycling or hiking,\" says Olsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Centre for Northern Peoples is proud to be the first to present excerpts from his work through an exhibition in our gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/senterfornordligefolk.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20200222-20200222IMG_1631-2-863x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/senterfornordligefolk.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20200222-20200222IMG_1631-2-863x1024.jpg 863w, https:\/\/senterfornordligefolk.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20200222-20200222IMG_1631-2-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/senterfornordligefolk.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20200222-20200222IMG_1631-2-768x911.jpg 768w, https:\/\/senterfornordligefolk.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20200222-20200222IMG_1631-2-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/senterfornordligefolk.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20200222-20200222IMG_1631-2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nature photographer Jan R. Olsen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>- I'm fascinated by the landscape and the light here in the north. That's why I spend a lot of time outside when the light is at its best, morning and evening. But when the light isn't at its best, I think black and white and look for shapes and contrasts. These are the images I've chosen for this exhibition, which is the first I've had,\" says Olsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olsen's photographs have also resulted in several book publications that convey our beautiful and contrasting landscape. This year also saw the 25th edition of the Nord-Troms calendar with his photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016, Olsen made the short film Polar Night, in which he conveys the darkness in the north through 11 minutes. The film has received a lot of attention and has been shared countless times on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Releases<\/strong>:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Arctic Panorama, 2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before and now, 2018<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Images of the Lyngen Alps 2014<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lyngsalpan, 2013<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nature in Nord-Troms - from fjord to mountain, 2010<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travelling in Nord-Troms 2010<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nord-Troms calendar 1997-2020<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short film: Polar Night, 2016<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We can accommodate up to 50 people at the exhibition opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We follow&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhi.no\/nettpub\/coronavirus\/rad-og-informasjon-til-andre-sektorer-og-yrkesgrupper\/anbefalinger-ved--store-arrangementer-knyttet-til-koronasmitte-i-norge\/\">FHI's guidelines<\/a>&nbsp;to prevent the spread of covic-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Polar Night\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/155053446?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current links:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/janrolsen.no\/ny-bok-for-og-na\/\">Jan R.
