“Observing the location, seasons, and angles for about three years, I researched the perfect shoot that I had in my mind. I fell in love with this composition in Northern Canada. The day I took this photo, the weather was extremely difficult; the temperature was 20 degrees below zero, and the strong wind didn’t make the situation any easier.
I had a certain vision of the photo I wanted, and because of the extreme weather, I had to build the photo in stages. Taking many shots in different stages of the Aroura rising gave me a good chance to get the final photo here. The overwhelming feeling of seeing the spectacular phenomenon for the first time and racing against time and cold to get the photo was such a thrill that I want to experience again.”
