Spitsbergen with S/V Noorderlicht 09 / 16 • September 2018
Long exposure photography by Udo Prinsen
Thank you all for being a travel companion on this impressive sailing trip. We had such an interesting week in which many things (almost everything) the arctic has to offer actually happened. I want to thank you too for assisting me on creating my type of impressionistic images through pinhole and long exposure photography using camera’s from early 1900. I am happy, very happy, with the results and sharing some highlights with you in this document. I hope you enjoy it. If you have any questions or a request for a print of a certain image feel free to contact me. Best of wishes, Udo Keep an eye on these links if you like to stay up to date on new travel opportunities: www.udoprinsen.com/spitsbergen @prinsen.studio (instagram & facebook) E info@udoprinsen.com
