We had the pleasure of having Adrien Mauduit as our Aurora Borealis guide when visiting Norway this February. As well as being very knowledgeable about the science behind the northern lights, he was also great at explaining, so everyone could understand. His photography is simply stunning and we are so happy with the photos he made for us. Additionally we all enjoyed his company. We happily recommend his services!

Our first experience seeing the northern lights in Norway was a fantastic experience! Adrien is a true master of nighttime photography and so willing to share his passion.
His workshop will get you to the most picturesque areas of Senja island.
Thank you Adrien!

Adrien is an excellent photographer, very friendly and pedagogical. We had a great evening and managed to take some beautiful photos thanks to his guidance.
He had chosen a wonderful location near Tromso, not the first we had planned because he was able to adapt at the last moment to changeable weather.
I hope to be able to come back another year to redo a field workshop with him.

I travelled from Australia to Senja Island in Norway to fulfill a dream of seeing and hopefully capturing Lady Aurora on my camera. I had seen Aurora a few nights prior and managed to get a few shots which I was stoked with until I met and attended the incredibly talented Adrien Mauduit @Night Lights – Adrien Mauduit Photography & Film workshop on how to shoot Aurora. What an experience, I then realised I had no idea about night shooting even though my camera did lol. Adrien’s teaching were 4 simple rules broken down step by step. Another tip you needed a tripod, I didn’t have one, Adrien lent me one of his. After our class it was time to jump into the van and tour the island he knows so well and shoot from some landmark spots. What a magical experience out came Lady Aurora, I was so in awe I forgot about all the teachings yet again Adrien stepped in. Our second location my spare battery died as being in extreme coldness drains them. Aurora was out and I couldn’t shoot, was just about to have personality breakdown and Adrien to the rescue, back to van he had spare battery for my camera, and we moved location. Aurora moved into a sub storm and my dream became a reality. Adrien can’t thank you enough, it was one of the most magical experiences of my life and brought peace to my soul. Anyone looking for a workshop and seeing Aurora please contact this amazing photographer. A must do if you visit Senja Island.

I have been following Adrien Mauduit's "Night Lights Films" on FB for some time. Among many aurora photos and videos I follow, his unique reddish and purple hue stands out. They are exceptionally beautiful compositions with soothing music.
Recently I visited Senja, Norway and sought him out for his advice on Aurora and night sky chasing photography. I had a two-hour private workshop.
His lecture was clear; able to explain so well and simply in lay term about Aurora borealis and its photography. He is an inspiring photographer with excellent teaching ability. He is born to teach!
I strongly recommend him for aurora chasing field photography experience.

My experience was unforgettable! Both the location and the guide were amazing.
The guide is very professional and has great skills in northern sky lights photography (Auroras and Milky Way).
I can tell he is really passionate about nature and Northern lights. He was also really great in explaining this phenomenon to me ( I was largely ignorant about how northern lights are generated ).
He knows very well the area of Senja, which is a wonderful place to visit btw, and was very helpful in adjusting the rest of my trip, advising me very nice places to visit.
In summary I strongly recommend this experience, you will not regret this choice, and this will be unforgettable for sure (not only because of the pictures you will take :) ).
Takk Adrien !

We booked a night photography field workshop with Adrien, who had chosen the best location ever near Tromso. We met him there and after only 5 minutes we were surprised by the most beautiful northern lights which we had ever seen. We have been trying for a long time to get the perfect photo, which we succeeded with Adrien's support in a short time. In addition, through him we were able to gain many knowledge of the Aurora. We can unreservedly recommend this tour and would book it again at any time.

I attended Adrien’s workshop virtually. The classes were very informative and complete. Adrien is a friendly, patient and good presenter who is willing to stop and take questions which he answers and makes sure the answer is understood. He provides lots of downloadable resources. I am in a quiet aurora zone right now but I will definitely be re-visiting the resources once I get a little closer to seeing aurora again. A very worthwhile investment.

My first contact with Adrien was in March‘19 when I took an „Aurora beginner photoworkshop“.
I never took pics at night before that time and didn‘t have any idea how to handle it with my old sony semi prof. cam.
So, I learnt fast & easy all necessary tools and in the second night of my stay at Senja Island, we were lucky to practice the lessons learnt!
I‘ll never forget the night of the 7th March 2019. I did my first shots and was more than proud of myself when i saw the results.
For my next visit, I‘ll book a nightworkshop combined with an Island Tour by night and a workshop how to edit my photos.
Hopefully with some great Aurora experiences again!
