MEET LORENZO
Lorenzo is an astrophotographer based in Rovaniemi in Lapland, Finland. He arranges northern lights expeditions and road trips to explore the fantastic northern lights and starry skies.
"- I am originally from Verona and since I was 6 I always had the dream of seeing the Northern Lights in Lapland. Now I live that dream every night that I am out hunting for the Northern Lights, bringing people to see it for the first time. And every time is like the first for me, because every time it's a different show", Lorenzo explains.
Lorenzo finished his degree in environmental engineering and has lived in Lapland since. When he moved to Lapland, he felt the need to immortalize these beautiful landscapes and, above all, literally, the Northern Lights and the night sky. He started learning about photography and how to capture one of the most beautiful phenomenons in the world: the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis.
From the beginning, Lorenzo has always used Sigma lenses to capture these beautiful skies and lights, never disappointed.
LORENZO'S TOP 3 SIGMA LENSES
ART
14mm F1.4 DG DN
“Probably our favourite lens when we get strong auroras. The wide angle can take almost the whole northern lights sky and a bit of the landscape as well, making it one of the absolute best lenses for overhead auroras. It is also our favourite lens for northern lights video on real time, super sharp and the first 14mm with an aperture of 1.4.”
ART
20mm F1.4 DG DN
“Great for both smaller and bigger auroras. Of course it doesn't have the same wide-angle as the 14mm, but it can still take a big part of the sky and part of the landscape at the same time. The 20mm is also great if the aurora is lower at the horizon, while I would not use it much when the aurora is above your head because in that case 20mm is not enough to get the whole show. Also an amazing lens for aurora videos.”
ART
35mm F1.2 DG DN
“Being one of the fastest lenses in the world with an aperture of F1.2, this lens is great for smaller auroras (starts to be not so wide-angle) or aurora pillars which often happen in the northern horizon after an aurora explosion (substorm). Great lens for filming as well, given that it can take so much light.”
