This is one of my favorite topics as it just requires yourself and a camera or even your phone. Nothing else, besides maybe some motivation and warm clothes, but you basically need that for everything here in the Arctic circle. Just make sure that you have thin gloves which you can wear while managing your equipment, as you might otherwise loose interest in photographing quite soon, or in the worst case even get frost bites.

You don‘t need much experience in photography to take great pictures up here and you can go out in every weather, as even fog and a light snow storm create wonderful and interesting pictures. Winter in Lapland is especially interesting when the sun is only up for a few hours, creating long-lasting sunrises and sunsets (for that you don‘t have to get up early or stay up late).

Photography is awesome, as full-time activity, but also as something that you can just enjoy on another activity. Just grab your camera and take a shot wherever and whenever you feel like. The best moments usually arise when you don‘t expect them. So many times I was already on the way back, ready for a hot shower, when I stumbled over a nice setting or some wildlife to photograph. So don‘t worry and just let the picture come to you!
