Audun Rikardsen

Growing up in a small fishing community in northern Norway, Audun has a lifelong fascination with the Arctic’s rough nature and culture, both above and below the ocean’s surface. Photography for him is about sharing his fascination of the Arctic coastline through the revelations of new and unusual perspectives. Since he started photographing in 2009, his images have won several awards, including several first places in the Wildlife Photographer-contest, the overall winner of 13 international photo competitions, including the European nature photographer of the year (GDT), Fritz Polking award, Nordic Nature photography competition (three times), The Nature’s Best contest, SIPA, Arctic Photographer of the year (two times), Norwegian championship in nature photography, and other firsts places in several international competitions. While he remains a part time photographer, he works fulltime as a professor of biology at the University of Tromsø.
