Hi!
I'm Christian Hoiberg, a Norwegian Landscape Photographer living north of the Arctic Circle. Being outdoors with, or without, a camera is my meditation. Bringing you along on this journey is a privilege.
It’s more than just a pretty photo
Landscape photography isn’t just about being outside with a camera - it’s about bringing nature closer to you.
The winter season is mostly spent guiding photography workshops in the picturesque areas of Northern Norway and along the Arctic Borders. This is a highlight of the year as I get to help like-minded people capture beautiful images of some of the world’s most amazing landscapes.
Northern Norway isn’t the only region you can join me in; Greenland, Faroe Islands, and the Dolomites are just a few of the other workshop destinations frequently visited.
When not on tour, I’m most likely pressing buttons on the keyboard, trying to formulate tutorials and content for my website CaptureLandscapes.com, a platform to develop the skills needed to improve your photography.
Photographing winter in the Lofoten Islands is when I feel most alive.
My images have been published in various magazines and online publications such as NPhoto Magazine, Digital Photographer, Landscape Photography Magazine, MyModernMet and GEO. They have also been licensed to clients such as Adobe, Manfrotto, GoreTex, Heinemann, Synology, and BenQ for various projects.
My Story.
My passion for photography started at the age of 15 when I bought my first camera. Just like most people, I entered the world of photography without having an understanding of the camera, and happily used the "automatic" settings.
For years I took pictures just for fun but eventually I felt ‘stuck’. My images weren’t what I wanted them to be. The options were to either quit or dedicate time to improving my craft. I chose the latter.
I focused on first learning how to operate the camera properly. How to choose the settings that lead to the highest quality images. Photography started becoming fun again and I quickly started experimenting with more advanced techniques. It didn’t take long before I realized that this is what I want to do with my life. Since then I've been chasing my dream. I’ve had to make many sacrifices along the way but it’s all part of shaping the life which makes me happy.
In January 2016 I founded CaptureLandscapes, a website where I teach you the skills needed to improve your photography through high-quality landscape photography tutorials. Millions of readers have since found use in the content shared there and I’m proud to have been part of their journey towards becoming a better photographer.
What lays ahead?
Time will show.
