Creator Bio
Light Atlas was created by Kolin Friske, a photographer who has spent more than 20 years exploring and documenting over 50 countries. His work is shaped by curiosity, quiet attention, and a deep respect for how light moves through the world. This project exists to share a slower, more intentional way of seeing — one built on presence, patience, and the simple act of noticing.
