“How long are you staying?”
This is a question you hear many times as a newcomer to Vadsø, a small town in the Arctic region of Norway. Like many places in this sparely populated area, it’s been known as a town where people come, but then leave again before too long. I have photographed and interviewed some of the people who came to stay, beacuse they wanted to.
This photo essay was made during a workshop held by Elena Chernyshova in Vadsø, 2014.
