Millennium Images presents:
I get newsletters from Millennium every month or so. And each time it is a stunning image that accompanies it.
Would die to see more of this work. Actually would die to see it in real time.
These are the sort of images that are not really suitable for a computer screen. These are the images you want to see on large white walls.
Sometimes our virtual reality isn't enough....
If you have the chance: visit
"Kiruna: A Town in the Swedish Arctic." by Adam Shawyer
Over the past four years, Adam Shawyer has visited the North Eastern Swedish town of Kiruna, an iron ore mining town above the arctic circle. Kiruna's average winter temperatures are between -20 and -30 , with about 2 months of very little daylight during the heart of winter. In this darkness the Northern Lights can sometimes be seen.
Adam first went to Kiruna with a plan to photograph the illusive Northern Lights but soon became fascinated with the town itself. Extreme cold and heavy snowfall, combine with the stark night lighting to transform this functional 1960's town into a deserted and theatrical stage set.
The effect of the extreme temperatures on the camera lens itself has enhanced the surreal and painterly effects of the work.
Adam has moved into photography since studying Fine Art printmaking at Norwich School of Art. For the last 5 years he has
Worked in digital production, and combines these techniques in his work.

Hi
I am the photographer represented by millennium images featured on your site, with the winter images from Kiruna. I am currently trying to find a venue to show this work further. Do you have any suggestions. I am currently making large lightjet prints of this work.
best wishes
Adam Shawyer
