In my article earlier this week about the Svalbard Archipelago, I introduced you to this remarkable region of the world and what it’s like as a photographer. Today, I will share a day-by-day travel diary from my trip this July, along with some of the photos I captured there.

This article is a little different from what I normally write on Photography Life. It isn’t a gear review or a tutorial. Maybe it’s more like a confession. The truth is that I have felt aimless as a photographer for much of the past year.

Since the introduction of the Nikon Z System almost seven years ago, Nikon has done a good job filling out their lineup of mirrorless lenses. We now have 42 unique lens designs covering the main requirements a photographer could have. But I wouldn’t say that Nikon’s Z lenses feel “complete” quite yet, even taking third-party options into account. What are we still missing? Is there any chance we’ll get some of these lenses soon? I don’t have a crystal ball, but the following lenses are what I consider to be the biggest remaining gaps in the Z System. Hopefully we see some of them appear before long.

Certain regions of the globe are uniquely beautiful, with the Svalbard Archipelago—an isolated island chain between mainland Norway and the North Pole—being a prime example. Visiting Svalbard offers a remarkable opportunity for those who seek adventure, particularly individuals with a keen interest in photography.

The photo I’m opening this week’s Photography News with was originally meant to appear in my latest article, “Wildlife Photography Essentials.” But since its author—a brilliant photographer and my good friend Tomáš Grim—was somewhere deep in the Brazilian Amazon at the time, it didn’t make it into the piece.
