VIRGIL REGLIONI
The Rewinder

We can find windy roads in many places in Northern Norway, but finding the right angle to photograph them can be another story. Catching this incredible aurora into the narrow valleys of Senja took me good 2 hours of waiting under -10 degrees C, in a particularly awkward position perched on a sharp rock edge.

I had studied and found this place using maps. I could see the potential before going there but I had never seen anyone taking a photo of it this way. The big work is to be able to anticipate the editing process once I am on spot. I knew roughly where to stand to have the right angle but it was not easy to access as the place is covered with big boulders fallen from the cliff edges.

Taking a photo is something I love, but working hard beforehand to plan the photo is something I live for.

Author
ORIGINALLY FROM FRANCE, I WAS BORN ON SEPTEMBER 26TH 1988. I GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN BETWEEN LYON AND SWITZERLAND.

I LEFT FRANCE IN MAY 2011 TO EXPLORE THE UNKNOWN, DISCOVERING MY PASSIONS, MY CREATIVITY, AND MEETING AMAZING PEOPLE.
IT HAS SIMPLY OPENED MY MIND, AND MY PASSION FOR THE OUTDOORS AND PHOTOGRAPHY.

I DISCOVERED COMPLETELY DIVERSE ENVIRONMENTS WHICH HELPED ME WORKING ON MY PHOTO COMPOSITIONS, MY TECHNIC, AND MY ARTISTIC SIDE.
MY TRAVELS HELPED ME TO FIND MY TASTES AND LED ME TO WHERE I AM NOW;
DRIVING AND GUIDING SNOWMOBILES IN LAPLAND; TEACHING AND PHOTOGRAPHING THE AURORAS IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS; WHITE WATER RAFTING ON ICELANDIC AND NORWEGIAN RIVERS; AND BACKPACKING IN BETWEEN SEASONS.

I CONCENTRATE MAINLY ON ADVENTURE, LANDSCAPE AND NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY.
A CAMERA IN MY HANDS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A WAY TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS THE EMOTIONS LINKED TO A PLACE, A FRIEND OR A SPECIAL MOMENT.
I WOULD SAY THAT PATIENCE AND CREATIVITY IS ALL YOU NEED.
