Night Photography nominee

I found this unknown place on the Lofoten Islands as I was moving around the Gimsoya Islands.
That night was very cold, with temperatures reaching -20º C. It was probably one of the best shows of watching and photographing the Northern Lights I’ve ever experienced with such a magical foreground and the kp5/kp6 Aurora Borealis dancing all night long. The shape of the ice looks like the hands that pray for our planet Earth.

Roksolyana is a landscape photographer based in Italy. Her passion for photography was born around the age of 5 in her father’s darkroom. Spending her childhood in the Carpathian mountains taught her to love nature in all its nuances and also aroused a strong desire in her to explore more. This further led to that Rokoslyana wanted to start immortalizing the magical moments that only nature can give. For many years she dabbled in ceremony photography and portraiture, having her father (also a photographer) as a reference point.
Over time, however, she began to understand that only landscape photography could make her feel satisfied and bring out the strongest emotions. Over the years Roksolyana began to feel the need to express her personal and creative vision. She did not like the idea of documenting reality and so she started studying post-production, initially attending some basic course, subsequently reading various books and spending whole days experimenting to find a personal style. She is still continuously growing always looking for new techniques both in the practical field and in post-production.
