As Norway gears up for its first World Cup appearance since 1998, all eyes are on star striker Erling Haaland. However, famed British photographer David Yarrow chose a broader narrative for the national team’s send-off photo, capturing a moment that celebrates the spirit of all 26 players.
In a striking photograph titled 'The Vikings are Coming', Yarrow moved away from the typical airplane step photoshoot. Instead, he opted for a stunning fjord backdrop where the Norwegian squad donned authentic Viking attire, complete with shields and weapons. This unique visual approach aimed to encapsulate the team's collective identity, deviating from the norm.
