Two people, one cold obsession.

We're True North Frames, a couple who would rather be standing on a frozen shoreline at 2 a.m. than almost anywhere else. We photograph winter: snow-covered landscapes, frozen fjords, blue-hour light and, when the sky cooperates, the northern lights.

The YouTube channel started back in 2011. These days it's about what it really takes to shoot in the cold: settings that work, gear that survives freezing temperatures, keeping batteries alive, and editing so snow actually looks white.

The Arctic trip

In February 2025 we went from Oslo up to Tromsø, out to Svalbard and down through the Lofoten islands, with a detour to Sweden's Icehotel. We chased aurora from cabin decks, rode behind husky teams in the polar blue hour and flew the drone over fjords that didn't look real. Most of the gallery comes from that trip.

What's next

More night sky: northern lights, star trails and Milky Way astrophotography, plus the honest behind-the-scenes of getting those shots.
