Join Peter Rosén, former Associate Professor in Environmental Science at Umeå and Abisko, now a full-time photographer and film producer since 2012. He is the founder of Lappland Media AB and a member of Naturfotograferna, the Swedish Nature Photographers Association.

The majestic landscapes of northern Sweden sparked his passion for photography early on. In 1994, he founded the company Naturen i Fokus, which was renamed Lappland Media AB in 2012. Peter has lived and worked in both Abisko and Kiruna since 1999 and knows the region intimately. His motto, “Never give up”, reflects his deep commitment to every guest. Thanks to Peter’s expertise, every participant on his multi-day photo tours since 2012 has successfully seen and photographed the northern lights.
