TOP 3 MOST AWARDED NATURE PHOTOGRAPHERS IN NORWAY – PAUL EDMUNDSON
With his passion to capture and share Mother Nature, Paul has become one of Norway’s most awarded nature photographers with 94 international recognitions.
Founder and director of Edmundson Naturforlag, Norway’s leading postcard and photo souvenir producer, represented at +120 locations, Paul stands at the summit of Norwegian nature photography.
Paul Edmundson is a British artist residing in Norway since 2003. He has spent 20 years capturing the planet’s beauty and pushing the boundaries of nature photography.
Paul Edmundson is known for his use of natural light and long exposure, meticulously capturing nature’s vibrancy. He passionately reproduces timeless images of Mother Nature in glorious colour and vivid sharpness so that collectors can fully immerse in nature’s beauty.
A self-taught photographer, he creates expansive panoramic images and intimate squares for collectors worldwide from his studio in the heart of the Norwegian fjords.
His work has been published around the world by top companies such as National Geographic, The New York Times, The Times, The Guardian, Fjord Norway, Innovation Norway, and Paul has had a number of solo exhibitions and book releases.
Since 2018, Paul has taken a break from competition and marketing events and has quit social media completely, preferring instead to spend time on introspection and yoga. In 2019 Paul trained as a Hatha Yoga teacher and now offers free yoga classes in Flåm instead of blogging, marketing and endlessly seeking new personal challenges. Life is about this moment now which is full of abundance, and Paul’s new journey is about surrendering ego and seeking spiritual fulfilment instead. He continues to offer his photography services but he does it from a place of peace instead of greed.
