I have been photographing since I was 13 years old. Often using my fathers analog SLR camera. After film and photo school in the start of the 1990´s. My career started to take off. My inspiration mostly came from the pioneering American photographers, Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, to mention a few. Also various surreal classical artist. I love being out in nature and do landscape work, I work alone, and forget time and place sometimes, patience is probably the most important virtue in photography. Today I mostly concentrate on creating my conceptual art works. Hyper realism and also surrealism, shape my other artistic creations, by combining many layers and photos into one image, sometimes building and painting props to merge them into the final image. To tell a story, subtly. I had my own darkroom, developed my own film, and created my own black and white prints. Parallel to my Film & TV career, I never put down my photo cameras. In the early 2000´s, I started working professionally with still photography for various clients, shooting advertisements, portraits and architecture photography. Having my own photo studio. I started illustrating books from 2003, and created film documentaries for various international clients all the way up to 2018. Today I only work with my conceptual art and landscape projects. 30 years of traveling to most parts of the world, covering war, hunger, and doing commercial work. I really wanted to focus all my attention on my art projects. I have received a considerable amount of international fine art photo awards the last 20 years. I now sell artworks to organizations, book publishers and private persons. I have received many international photo awards the last years, for my works of art. I have also been published in several international art publications in the last 3 years. My works, and my style is probably quite different from many other in my field. I am classical kind of artist. I like the old naturalistic style. Often can some of my works be interpreted as having a look of paintings, this is intentional from my perspective. My curiosity is boundless, mostly I previsualize certain concepts, in my mind and draw up by hand what I want to create. I strive to make my composite creations as organic as possible. Also telling a story in my images, I go far to make my conceptual works as ethereal as possible. My home country is Norway. Today I live in Asia, Koh Samui Island in Thailand.
