Few people know the nature of North Troms like photographer Jan R. 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

- \"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

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

- 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

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

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
