The fishing village of Ballstad, at the foot of the steep Mount Slettinden, is known for its picturesque fishing harbor, surrounded by rugged mountains and colorful wooden houses. The harbor is still active and provides a home for a small fishing fleet.
The beach of Uttakleiv is probably the most iconic location, a true natural gem. A white cove nestled between high mountains, where from sunrise to sunset we can devote ourselves to long exposures and original compositions by taking advantage of the countless close-ups in the bay.

Using Reine as a base we will travel to incredible locations such as Flakstad, Fredvang, the charming UNESCO heritage fishing village of Nusfjord, to Skagsanden beach, whose uniqueness is hidden in the details of the sand, which offer the photographer an extraordinary variety of cues for close-ups and compositions.
