Image Galleries
Horizontal Gallery
Enjoy this collection of northern lights images photographed in landscape orientation. This format is wider than it is tall, and is perfect for most wall sizes and configurations, from breathtaking large solo images to walls featuring collections of many sizes; photographs that create balance and harmony.
Panoramic Gallery
With a broad view and wide format, panoramic images create a dramatic centerpiece for the home or office. Capturing the enormity of the sky, panoramic images provide a commanding sense of the aurora borealis as it sweeps across Earth’s atmosphere.
Vertical Gallery
Composed in portrait orientation, the vertical image creates a picture taller than it is wide and is ideal for an accent wall. The vertical format also works well for several photos of different sizes and orientations as part of an overall composition strategy.
Nights Skies Gallery
Many of the images presented in this collection feature photos taken in International Dark Sky Communities within recognized International Dark Sky Places. Such locations are dedicated to responsible lighting, stewardship, and education about the value of dark night skies.

Auroras the Film
’Auroras’ by Aurora Dora takes viewers on a magical journey to experiencing the Aurora Borealis across the Alaskan skies. ‘Auroras’ is a non-narrative time-lapse film that presents the Northern Lights dancing through music. It is composed of over 48,000 still images photographed in Southcentral Alaska, between Talkeetna and Denali State Park.
This film is a work of passion for Aurora Dora, who spent many winters, long nights, and subzero temperatures capturing the beauty of the night sky. More of Aurora Dora's work can be seen at her gallery in Talkeetna, Alaska, or her website auroradora.com
Meet Dora
Winner of the 1839 Photographer of the Year - People’s Choice awards(2024) in 3 Categories: Landscapes, Travel, and Nature
“Aurora” Dora has been photographing the aurora borealis since moving to Alaska in 2001.
“I had never heard of the northern lights before I moved to Alaska. The first time I saw the aurora, it was love at first sight, and from then on, I knew what I wanted to do: I wanted to share them with the world, showing them to everyone who doesn’t have the opportunity to see the northern lights. And that’s what I’ve been doing since.”
Dora’s images can be seen here on her website galleries, in lodges across Alaska, numerous print and digital publications, and at her gallery, Aurora Dora, located in beautiful downtown Talkeetna, Alaska at 22229 S Talkeetna Spur Rd.
Her creations can be seen here on her website, in many Lodges in Alaska, many publications, and at her gallery, Aurora Dora, in downtown Talkeetna, Alaska (22229 South Talkeetna Spur Rd)
