The Lofoten archipelago in northern Norway extends far into the Atlantic Ocean. A fairytale landscape that is unparalleled worldwide.
It is the special magical light that shines only on some days in winter. It conjures up wonderfully mostly pale colors on the mountain massifs.
And last but not least, it is the rustic rowing huts called Rorbuer that take us back to the traditional world of Lofoten fishermen.
The picture was taken near Straumsnes. The name derives from Nes, a small headland (nose) and Straumen. Straumen comes from the Old Norse straumr for "current".
The red huts in the area still bear witness to the fishing of the past two centuries. Several thousand seasonal fishermen from all over northern Norway packed their "duffel bags" at Christmas and were accommodated in these huts on the barren islands. Until Easter, the fish was hung on the pole. Every day in the cold season you rowed out to the tidal stream. At Pentecost, the product stockfish was ready, and it is still sold all over the world today.

Our photographic prints are created using a specialty, large-format fine art printer designed to produce archival, museum-grade prints. They are true "chromogenic" prints: light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom using state-of-the-art lasers to produce the sharpest possible image. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Our photographic prints are available in one of two finishes: glossy and lustre. Glossy prints have a rich, silky saturation and are great for environments where the lighting and reflections have been carefully thought through. Lustre prints have a bright, sparkle-like finish that diffuses reflections and are therefore more versatile for environments where the lighting and reflections are less under your control.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Our acrylic glass displays are ready-to-hang works of art that contain one of our photographic prints sealed between flame-polished acrylic glass and an aluminum backing. A hidden mounting brace on the rear causes the display to gracefully "float" off the wall for a sleek, modern frameless look that complements nearly any decor style.
