Mortsund old building | Limited Edition of 10
Time-Weathered Elegance: Mortsund's Old Building in Lofoten Islands
As dusk descends over the rugged expanse of Norway's Lofoten Islands, my lens focuses on an aged, deserted fishing structure in Mortsund. The chilly, fresh air invigorates my artistic fervor, compelling me to encapsulate this moment in a photographic print of exceptional caliber.
This photograph reveals the rich details of the old building: flaking paint clinging to the walls, a roof patinaed by rust, and rough-hewn wooden planks forming its skeletal frame. Beyond this aging edifice, the panorama unveils majestic mountains and icy waters reaching into the far distance.
This forsaken structure stands as a poignant symbol of the islanders' past struggles, where fishing was an essential lifeline. Yet, through my lens, the silent grace of the building endures, persisting as the winter evening darkens into night.
This photographic print stands as a tribute to the eternal allure of Lofoten's landscapes and the artistic vision I infuse into each frame I compose. This work echoes the rich history of Mortsund, a place that has endured the test of time. Once a bustling fishing village, it's now a serene and tranquil spot that whispers tales of past livelihoods and enduring resilience.
Encapsulating my ardor for photography, this fine art print is hand-signed in pencil on the reverse side. A testament to the quality of the work, it includes a certificate of authenticity and a lifetime warranty against fading. The print is on museum-grade paper, acid-free, and 100% archival. The archival inks used guarantee photographs with sharp precision, smooth transitions, deep blacks, intricate details, and vibrant hues.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
