"I later realized that even though I'm the one holding the camera, it's the camera that takes me to places. (...) It's traveling with a purpose. "
“No place on Earth is as fiercely protected as the inner sanctuary of Greenland's east coast. Guarded by millions of broken pieces of glaciers forming an almost impenetrable wall of icebergs, they all tell you: ‘This is no place for humans. This is no longer planet Earth.’”
“These places seem to have an extra magical dimension that you perceive and experience when you are there. You arrive and leave transformed.”
“I try to capture the abstract and unreal nature of these places, but also to show that there are people who not only survive here, but thrive.”
Norris NimanNorris Niman was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. His passion for photography came “naturally”, and he couldn't imagine doing anything else. As a teenager, he was bored by Windows wallpapers and replaced them with his own photos! Heir to the Vikings, it's in the north and the cold that he best expresses his art. In fact, he chose to settle in the “most northerly city in Iceland”! His recipe for a good photo? “Color, contrast and an element that gives the audience emotion!” It seems to work, since he has become a Nikon brand creator and regularly collaborates with brands such as DJI, Arc'teryx, Toyota, Kia and Hertz, as well as prestigious magazines (Vogue Scandinavia, Condé Nast Traveler and National Geographic). Although he rarely takes part in competitions, in 2019 he won first prize in the Wix adventure photography competition. Alongside his activities as a photographer, he also produces videos and organizes stays in the far north open to all, to share his passion with as many people as possible.
