The past-time of winter swimming has grown in popularity during the covid pandemic. Research continues to support the benefits of cold water exposure for mental and physical health.

Document people in the South of Norway participating in swimming during the winter season.

Produce a set of 6 images (landscape format). The images should portray: the social aspect of winter swimming and shared pleasure in the activity; meditative focus on breathing and sense of achievement in the physical challenge; an appreciation for nature in winter. The image set should have a focus on the natural surroundings (water/views/nature) as well as the people involved.

Include nature/landscape images but focus on environmental portraits and group shots. The images should be candid not posed. Colour image set to give a sense of the winter light. The viewer should experience a feeling of tranquility as well as positive energy from the subjects.
