The magic of Lofoten comes alive in this first part of a three-part series, showcasing Hamnøy’s snow-covered landscapes, charming red cabins, and the breathtaking Northern Lights taken by Christo Giliomee in the Nordic winter of 2025.

Winter photography in the Lofoten Islands, Norway is a visual wonderland and a photographers’s dream. Amongst the many scenic spots in Lofoten, Eliassen Rorbuer stands out as a hidden gem.
Located in the picturesque village of Hamnøy, traditional fishermen’s cabins are set against the backdrop of towering peaks, deep blue waters and dramatic fjords. When winter blankets the area with snow, the stunning red cabins create a perfect contrast against the white landscape, making it a prime location for capturing breathtaking shots.
For those seeking a challenge, the winter weather offers its own set of tests: fierce winds, rapidly changing light, and snowstorm. For photographers willing to brave the elements, these conditions add drama and depth, creating dramatic shots that capture the essence of Lofoten in winter.
