    in reply to: Russian Fixer

    Dear David,

    My name is Alexandra. I represent Andy Fiord Production.
    Our company provides photo&film production services across entire Russia.

    Here you will be able to find more information about our projects and clients: http://www.andyfiordproduction.com

    Your project sounds very interesting and we will be happy to assist you! Our team includes experienced fixers who produce both commercial and documentary shootings for small and large-scale projects. All of them are fluent in English and work a lot with international crew.

    Dear David, in order we could propose you the best candidate and prepare our offer, would you be so kind to provide us with some additional information about this project?

    1) Do you already know the cities and places where the shooting is going to happen? If not – it will be our pleasure to suggest you some locations. In such case, could you, please, tell us a little bit more about your project, its creative idea and what type of locations are you looking for?

    Meanwhile, please, feel free to take a look at our location base, it includes some of the most breathtaking places in Russia: http://andyfiordproduction.com/locations/

    But of course, it’s only a part of it. Based on your request – we will be able to send you more options.

    2) Do you already know the approximate shooting dates? Or maybe you can tell us how many days the shooting will last in each city?

    3) How many locations per day would you like to film in each city?

    4) Dear David, do you plan to bring the camera with you or you would you like to hire some equipment here in Russia?

    5) Just in case you might be interested in hiring some local artists, we would like to let you know that Andy Fiord Production represents lots of rising and established talents, including film-makers, photographers, stylists, make-up/hair artists, etc. Please, feel free to let us know if you would like to see their rates and portfolios.

    6) Could you, please, tell us how would you prefer to organise the transportation during the shooting? Should we calculate the costs for a van – or you will be fine with moving between locations by taxi (if we’re talking about the city shooting)?

    7) Did we understand you correctly: you won’t need to organize a casting for this project? However we wanted to let you know that our company has its own international model agency – Andy Fiord Models (http://www.andyfiordmodels.com). So if anything needed – don’t hesitate to ask!

    8) David, it also will be a pleasure for us to assist you with your accommodation, flights and visas during the project. If you will need our assistance here – we stay at your full disposal!

    Let me also tell you a little bit more about our company.

    in reply to: Northern Lights in August

    Hello Irina,

    interesting question! The Northern Lights – as a physical phenomenon – occur year-round, but they are hard or even impossible to see during the summer months due to the midnight sun. Unfortunately, this is true for any location on Earth – whether you’re in Lapland, Iceland or Alaska. The nights get darker in late August and September, but they’re still too short, narrowing your chances to see anything (compared to the period from late October to March).

    However, we can’t say the location does not matter at all. It matters to a certain degree, because the Earth’s Magnetic Poles (which channel the charged particles from the Sun, causing the northern and southern lights in the atmosphere) do not coincide with the Earth’s Geographical Poles (and also tend to wander). Currently the Northern Magnetic Pole lies north of the Canadian Arctic territories, giving a slight advantage to Northern Canada and Alaska in terms of viewing the Northern Lights. This means that statistically the lights in Northern Canada may appear slightly more intense than in Murmansk, for example, but in reality it might not be so on any given day – you never know!

    What matters most is the intensity of the solar wind, which is largely unpredictable. As Tromsø Geophysical Observatory states, “If the Northern Lights are strong enough, they may still be seen against a twilight sky, and it is not unusual to see them from Tromsø on an August evening”. Respectively, if solar activity is low, you wouldn’t see any lights even in December’s clear dark skies.

    To wrap it up: while it’s certainly not impossible to find the lights in late August/September, you have to be very lucky and it doesn’t really matter where you go.

    Our team (Andy Fiord Production) had amazing experience shooting the Northern Lights near Tromsø and in Lapland in one of the winters. It took some patience, but it was well worth it.

    If you have a project in mind, whether it involves science or fashion photography, we at Andy Fiord Production (andyfiordproduction.com) we’ll be happy to work with you! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at hello@andyfiord.com

    Have a nice day!
