Meet Erika Tirén @magicairika

Born in Sweden but spent most of her childhood flying helicopters around Norway with her pilot father, Erika is now based full time on the Norwegian west coast working as a freelance Aerial Cinematographer. She is no stranger to either endless days staring at a monitor in a helicopter, nor working in extremely cold climates, where she thrives.

Top tip;
Being a woman in a male dominated industry doesn’t have to be a disadvantage. You may have to work harder in the beginning to earn your respect, but once you get there it really helps you to stand out in the crowd - so use it as an advantage and go chase your dreams!
