Fredriksson had his digicam pointed at Hanna Ovin—the skier in the frame—on this individual evening when she sliced a two,600-vertical-foot, prime-to-bottom line in entrance of Fredriksson’s lens. The moment caught with the photographer for numerous good reasons.
“I selected to go with this shot mainly because it is from the Swedish Lapland—very near to the site exactly where I kicked off my career—and the normal pink light from up there is dreamy,” suggests Fredriksson. “It’s not skied way too generally. It’s undoubtedly the province in Sweden that is the most stunning and extraordinary. The mountains, landscape and remoteness it is rather wild. There is so considerably to discover. It’s specific for me to share these stories with the relaxation of the planet.”

Steeped in darkness during the doldrums of wintertime, the Swedish Lapland lights up with spring’s thaw. Very long times of sunlight make for marathon times of checking out, ski touring and pictures.
“Getting to do the job with this astounding light is wonderful, but Midnight Sunshine is also exhausting,” suggests Fredriksson. “The Midnight Sunshine can almost wreck a excursion. You learn to control mainly because you could be out there all the time with so considerably light. You have to be sensible, but at the exact same time it is extraordinary to have that specific light. A large amount of photographers are living for that soft, epic light and people colors you get up north.”
In addition to planet-renowned light and wide terrain, Sweden gives an infrastructure of Mountain Stations, affordable huts perched precariously in dream destinations, that make touring and checking out the Arctic relatively doable. The Mountain Station is a staple in Swedish alpine lifestyle. In the course of the summer time, trekkers frequent the modest digs during a multi-day hike by means of pristine mother nature. In the wintertime, having said that, the huts are a lot less hectic.
