On March 23, 2023, the Earth got hit by the strongest geomagnetic storm in six years, and I was out executing my unique aurora shot of the year, ‘The Platform’.
I am Virgil Reglioni, I’m 34 years old and I come from France. I have spent the last seven winters working as an expedition guide and photographer in polar regions. I am based in Tromsø, the gate to the high Arctic and capital of the Northern lights.
When I plan a photography project, I aim to find some “never seen before” aurora photographs. I want to capture the Northern Light in a way we never see it, to be able to enhance its uniqueness and spontaneity. I want my images to be completely unrepeatable even for myself.
Some of my photography work takes a huge amount of time and many attempts before capturing the right moment – sometimes spread over a few winters. This is why I want to share the stories behind the photos I take, and I wish to show how and why I captured The Platform, The 2023 unique Aurora shot.
