My name is Roy Arne, a photographer and video maker based in Honningsvåg, in the far north of Norway. Surrounded by open landscapes, the Arctic Ocean, and ever-changing weather, this region forms the foundation of my creative work.
My photography is deeply rooted in landscape. I am drawn to stillness, light, and the subtle changes that occur when nature sets the pace. Finnmark is a land in constant motion, shaped by wind, seasons, and light, making it an endless source of inspiration and visual stories.
The long, dark winters have a strong influence on both daily life and my visual expression. When darkness lasts for months, the night sky becomes a natural part of the landscape. The northern lights and the stars often find their way into my images — not only as visual phenomena, but as carriers of mood and atmosphere.
Since the spring of 2018, I have also focused on birds and wildlife. These encounters are as much about patience and presence as they are about the final image. Silence, distance, and brief moments create a different connection to nature and add depth to my landscape work.
In addition to photography, I work with video, using movement and time to explore the same themes. Video allows me to convey atmosphere, weather, and light in a more fluid way, giving the landscape room to breathe and unfold.
Through both photography and video, my goal is to share quiet moments and visual impressions from Northern Norway — with respect for nature and an emphasis on calmness, space, and presence.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my work.
Update January 2026
At some point, I realized I trusted the Arctic weather forecast more than Meta’s approach to privacy.
So I’ve decided to leave Facebook and Instagram.
If you would like to get in touch with me, please use the contact information at the bottom of this page.
For those living in Norway, I can currently be found on Hudd. You can still find me on YouTube. I may also migrate to a European social network in the future, assuming it treats people more like humans than data points.
Of course, don’t miss my PixelFed account.
