My range of images can be placed within many genres. This site is devoted to those related to nature.
Growing up in Lofoten on a narrow piece of land, between the steep mountains and the unpredictable North Sea, created tight bonds between me and nature. I am shaped by these forces and feel a profound connection to them, where every season has its possibilities and beauty: the long, dark and cold winter, where light is hardly to be found, contrasted by long summer days surrounded by an everlasting light.
Spending time in this northern scenery, I see shapes and structures as they evolve and appear throughout the year, within the possibilities of each season.
Though appearing differently throughout the seasons, at the same time it all seems as one. It connects. The large reflected in the small. The small in the large. It all belongs together, me being a part of it.
I usually prefer monochrome images. Partly because my photographical upbringing took place under the red lamp and the smell of fixative, where my mind got set on structures, shapes, tonality and simplifying. To me colours often are distracting, pointing to a certain period or aera, while the monochrome simplifies and points towards the timeless.
Pictures are for sale. I do giclee printing on an Epson p900, using fine art paper from acknowledged manufacturers such as Moab or Hahnemühle. The quality of the ink and paper ensures longivety and a non-fading result. The final choice of paper is suited the expression of each image.
