Usually at the start of an interview, to provide an easy way into their story, I often ask nature photographers a simple question: "Which interest came first: nature or photography?" More often than not, the short answer is nature, and that is certainly the case with Norway's Lina Kayser - but it is her longer answer that provides the insight into how her life has evolved.
Lina describes her childhood and upbringing in a way that suggests a life in nature photography was almost inevitable. "When I was a kid, we spent all the weekends hiking in nature. My mum taught me about birds and flowers, and my dad got me interested in dog training and hunting. When I got older, I got my own dog and started bringing a camera on hikes. The beauty and tranquillity of being alone in a forest or in the mountains was something I wanted to keep as a memory. In the beginning, I was photographing my dogs as well as landscapes. My favourite subject was to capture the mood of rainy and foggy days."
