I am not flying in for this. I drive the road between Kiruna and Tromsø with a tent on the roof and a husky in the passenger seat, and I am up here for most of the year — which means I am already nearby in the weeks that actually sell your place: the first snow, the aurora nights, the light at two in the morning in June.
It also means I work in the conditions those weeks come with.
Cold, wind, long distances, no comfort. That is the part of the job I am best at.
Bookings, not footage
A film is worth what it books. The brief is always the same: make somebody scrolling in Hamburg or Oslo decide that yours is the place they stop.
The season you are too busy to shoot
The conditions that sell your place arrive exactly when you have no time to film them. I am there for those windows so you do not have to be.

How a booking runs
A short call first, so I know what you want more bookings of. Half the fee confirms the date, the rest falls due on delivery. If the weather makes the shoot pointless we move it rather than waste it — I am usually still in the area.
Licensing, plainly
You may use everything on your website, your social channels and in your own printed material for the length of the licence. Paid advertising is included from Season upwards. I keep the right to show the work in my own portfolio. Nothing is sold on to anyone else.
Travel
Travel inside the corridor is included whenever your shoot sits alongside other work in the same week, which it usually does. Anything further is agreed in writing beforehand.
Prices
All figures are in euros and exclude VAT. The kronor amounts are a guide only, converted at an approximate rate — invoices are issued in euros, or in your own currency at the rate on the day if you prefer.
Drones, reindeer, permission
Drone rules are different in Sweden and in Norway, and national parks add their own on top. I check per location rather than assume that one registration covers the road.
Anything involving reindeer, joik or Sámi cultural material is filmed only with explicit permission and a written agreement on how it may be used. That is a matter of respect before it is anything else — and it means you never end up with material you cannot publish.
Tell me your dates and I will tell you mine.
One line is enough: where you are, what you want people to book more of, and when. If I am passing anyway, I will say so.
