OPENING SHOT

The

Photographer

Shot in Iceland, ‘The Photographer’,
by Austria’s Nicholas Roemmelt, won
second place in the Beauty category
of the 2016 International Earth &
Sky competition, organised by The
World at Night. The contest aims to
raise awareness of the world’s last
remaining natural night environments
and night skies.
‘It wasn’t easy for my buddy Nikki
Haselwanter to “freeze” for 15 seconds
for the shot on the top of that sand
dune,’ says Roemmelt. ‘Blizzards were
hitting the coastline and it was a
challenge not to be blown away. But
during the clear gaps, which lasted a
few minutes, we were able to witness
the wonderful northern lights behind
the Vestrahorn.’
