SUBJECT LIST
SCANDINAVIAN ARCTIC
Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish Lapland
In the twenty-five years we have been
photographing the Sami, many things have changed. Our earlier photos show the more
traditional way of life, taken at a time when reindeer sleds were used on the migration,
children travelled with their parents and everyone wore traditional dress. Our recent
photographs show more modern life with snowmobiles and portable TVs being used out on the
Tundra. Our coverage of Norway's 'Reindeer Sami (Lapps)' includes working with Reindeer,
the Spring Migration, Reindeer meat production. Village & Home life, Weddings,
Traditional Costumes. The Easter Festival at Kautokeino with Reindeer racing and brightly
coloured costumes. A Sami demonstration held in Tromso to protest the seizing of Sami
reindeer pastures for military use. We also have coverage of Finnish and Swedish Sami.
Spitsbergen
Beautiful scenics of this heavily glaciated archipelago as
well as Longyearbyen, the main community, and many of the main tourist attractions. We
also have photographs of the wildlife including polar bears, reindeer, Eider Ducks and
down collecting.
