Credit: Amos Chapple\/RFE\/RL<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Surprisingly for a New Zealander, photographer Amos Chapple likes the cold. He has photographed Siberia\u2019s Ice Highway and Oymyakon, the coldest town on Earth in east Siberia where, in 1933, temperatures bombed to minus -90\u00b0F. Perhaps even more surprisingly, he doesn\u2019t particularly like his homeland. \u2018I left New Zealand for the first time and went to Russia aged 23, 24. New Zealand is not a pleasant place, it\u2019s socially oppressive somehow. In Russia no-one knew who I was or cared. I loved it there, I felt at home, I felt free.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Continuing on the cold front, for his recent reportage, Forty Days Of Darkness, Prague-based Amos purchased a new iPhone 11 Pro and travelled to Murmansk, Russia \u2013 the biggest city inside the Arctic Circle. From December until January the sun never rises. With the iPhone almost exclusively in night mode, he shot life in the darkness for eight days, which equates to 16 as Amos explains, \u2018Usually you have just a few hours of soft light in the morning and evening, you have to work around that. When you\u2019re shooting a city that is always dark, time is irrelevant. I can get out of bed at 1am or 1pm and it\u2019s going to look the same. I was really able to hammer away at the assignment pretty much non-stop.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_135403&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-135403\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-woman-waiting-for-bus.jpg\" alt=\"Amos Chapple woman waiting for bus\" width=\"630\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-woman-waiting-for-bus.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-woman-waiting-for-bus.jpg?resize=135,100 135w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-woman-waiting-for-bus.jpg?resize=300,219 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-woman-waiting-for-bus.jpg?resize=548,400 548w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-woman-waiting-for-bus.jpg?resize=562,410 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">A woman waits for her bus in the warmth of a pharmacy.

I recently did a shoot in Armenia, three nights at a Soviet-era cosmic-ray research station 3,100 metres above sea level. When shooting that story, I would mainly use my main camera, a Panasonic GX9, but there were a couple of situations and photographs that will end up being in the published story that I shot with the phone. The reason that it was so useful is because it\u2019s so discreet and even if you are noticed, people don\u2019t care \u2013 that action does not look consequential whereas if you pick up your camera, people think why is he doing that, where is this going?<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_135399&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-135399\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-car-buried-in-snow.jpg\" alt=\"Amos Chapple car buried in snow\" width=\"630\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-car-buried-in-snow.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-car-buried-in-snow.jpg?resize=135,100 135w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-car-buried-in-snow.jpg?resize=300,224 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-car-buried-in-snow.jpg?resize=536,400 536w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-car-buried-in-snow.jpg?resize=562,419 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">A car buried deep in snow during the bitter winter. Credit: Amos Chapple\/RFE\/RL<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>\u2018Another cool thing about the phone, when I\u2019m shooting with a Micro Four Thirds camera in cold places, I\u2019ll have my main camera outside stuffed slightly into my jacket to preserve it from the cold a little bit. I\u2019ll then have a camera literally stuffed down my pants, to keep it warm so if I step inside somewhere, I can pull out the warm camera and start shooting immediately; otherwise you\u2019re without a camera for more than an hour until it warms up again. There is a transition period with a phone from shooting outside to shooting in the warm but it\u2019s a matter of minutes rather than hours.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_135400&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-135400\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-man-in-blizzard.jpg\" alt=\"Amos Chapple man in blizzard\" width=\"630\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-man-in-blizzard.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-man-in-blizzard.jpg?resize=135,100 135w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-man-in-blizzard.jpg?resize=300,224 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-man-in-blizzard.jpg?resize=536,400 536w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-man-in-blizzard.jpg?resize=562,419 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">A man walks through a blizzard in central Murmansk.

They take us inside nightclubs and introduce us to locals in the church, firing range and bars. In one image, a shopkeeper fills large plastic bottles with beer, a weekend supply for a customer and his wife. Does Amos partake in a wintry tipple on assignment? \u2018There were situations in Murmansk where, if I was not knocking back beers with the local people, there is no way they would let me take the pictures I was taking. They\u2019re comfortable with me, I\u2019m comfortable with them. Why would you exclude that advantage \u2013 when you start drinking with people, they let their guard down, you leave your guard down, cool situations happen. You want to be sharing the life of these people as best you can, everyone knows it\u2019s supremely rude to turn down a drink, especially in Russia!\u2019<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[collection name=&#8221;medium&#8221;]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_135402&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-135402\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-shopper-at-stall.jpg\" alt=\"Amos Chapple shopper at stall\" width=\"630\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-shopper-at-stall.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-shopper-at-stall.jpg?resize=135,100 135w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-shopper-at-stall.jpg?resize=300,224 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-shopper-at-stall.jpg?resize=536,400 536w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-shopper-at-stall.jpg?resize=562,419 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">A shopper browses a stall selling boots, scarves and hats.

How does he find stories and keep inspired? \u2018The biggest advantage I have is that I\u2019m going places and when you go places you find stories you would never find. With the mammoth hunters, I saw a blog post about ice road truckers, so I went with some guys about to go out on the road \u2013 the scariest story of my life. Because we shared these very intense situations we bonded and they said if I think what they do in winter is interesting, I should see their jobs in summer. One of those jobs was mammoth-tooth hunting.\u2019 There\u2019s no excuse not to go out and photograph, especially if it looks cold.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_135398&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 490px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-135398\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-Alyosha-Monument.jpg\" alt=\"Amos Chapple Alyosha Monument\" width=\"470\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-Alyosha-Monument.jpg 470w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-Alyosha-Monument.jpg?resize=300,402 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-Alyosha-Monument.jpg?resize=298,400 298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The Alyosha Monument \u2013 dedicated to the Soviet servicemen who defended the city during the Second World War.

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Amos-Chapple-After-Sunset.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-25 17:35:27","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135393"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":135524,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135393\/revisions\/135524"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135393"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=135393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
