Adventures above the Arctic Circle with bird lover Knut-Sverre Horn

- 

How did your career start?

I took an interest in birds when I was around four, saved money for my first binoculars at seven, got my first SLR at 12 and shot my first nature pictures for a national magazine at 15. Since 2002, I’ve been an all-round news journalist with NRK, the public Norwegian broadcaster, and nature, climate and conservation stories are part of what I cover. I mainly shoot birds, but occasionally landscapes, insects, flowers and mammals.

Which of your images is most important to you?

My kittiwake image from Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2021 is probably one of the weirdest pictures that has ever been awarded. Lots of people don’t get it at all. It serves as a reminder to try novel approaches and trust your own vision.

What's been your most memorable wildlife shoot?
