Like the reindeer’s eyes shift from blue to gold, so do the images in this book, symbolizing the seasonal changes, the contrasts and the light in Arctic Europe. Differing paper cuts let you skip page spreads, showing only a golden realm, or one of blue tones, depending on the reading direction of this dual-cover book. Only a slower stroll reveals all pages, alternatingly warm and cold. This unique concept emphasizes the characteristic colors of the north, and provides multiple experiences, much like revisiting a landscape always brings something new. Foreword: Ami Vitale, Text: Arne Bormans
Hanneke Van Camp is a Belgian nature photographer whose life and work are shaped by her connection with the natural world. With a background in biology and science communication, she approaches photography with curiosity, respect, and a sense of place. Drawn to northern landscapes, she spends as much time outdoors as possible, being inspired by light, weather, and seasonal changes. Her award-winning work invites viewers to slow down, connect with the landscape, and develop a greater appreciation for the natural world we are part of - and responsible for protecting.
