An editorial assignment documenting surfers riding the icy waters of the Lofoten Islands in northern Norway — one of the world's most dramatic and remote surfing destinations. Tim Franco spent time with the local surf community, capturing the contrast between the brutal Arctic conditions and the quiet dedication of those who surf them year-round.

The story was commissioned and published across multiple international editions of Marie Claire magazine, including South Korea, Czech Republic, and Italy.

This project reflects Tim Franco's documentary approach to editorial photography — finding human stories in extreme environments and translating them into compelling visual narratives for international publications.
