Audun Rikardsen
Growing up in a small fishing community in northern Norway, Audun Rikardsen has a lifelong fascination with the Arctic’s rough landscape, culture, and wildlife—both above and below the ocean’s surface. He uses photography to share his fascination with and stories from the Arctic coastline through the revelations of often new and unusual perspectives, for which he develops his own systems to achieve. Since Audun started photographing in 2009, his images have won a number of awards.
