SCENTS OF SUMMER

Bright days, warm winds, a sun-warmed dock and swimming in cold water. We went to the house by the sea to capture the essence of summer.

In the Scents of Summer film, we asked photographer Ola Rindal to capture every detail of the summer season: the sounds, the smells and the proximity to nature.
