I am a nature photographer based in Sarpsborg, Østfold, Norway, passionate about nature, landscapes, wildlife, and birds. Through photography and film, I aim to share the beauty of the natural world while raising awareness about the importance of protecting animals and their habitats.

My work includes close-up wildlife and bird photography, spectacular landscapes, and documentary storytelling from Norway, as well as from my travels to Iceland and Tibet. I combine photography and film to capture nature’s diversity and inspire conservation of all living beings.

I seek to capture the power and beauty of nature while documenting wildlife, birds, and people respectfully around the world. In Tibet I learned the importance of finding the right place at the right time, respecting local customs, and gaining permission before photographing. In Iceland, the same principles applied – respecting local experts and avoiding unnecessary risks, such as approaching volcanoes.

For me, experiencing different cultures, history, and human lives is the most important part – photos and videos are a way to share these experiences. I want every image to convey the authentic and living moment, including atmosphere, light, people, and their world. A photograph is a small window into the experience, but the experience itself is always the most important.

Major Documentary Projects and Experiences

Iceland – Eyjafjallajökull Volcano Eruption
During the 2010 eruption that disrupted air traffic across Europe, I documented the event together with my fellow photographer Geir. We prioritized safety, stayed in contact with local experts, and witnessed the dramatic ash clouds at 10,000 feet, lightning in the clouds, and rapidly changing weather. I also created a 4K documentary video about the eruption.

Tibet & Himalayas – Culture, Height, and Nature
In Tibet and the Himalayas, I experienced spectacular landscapes, high mountains, and deep Buddhist traditions. Respecting local culture was essential – gaining permission, following customs, and learning the rules to be present in a dignified way. Experiencing people, history, and culture was just as important as capturing photos and videos. The landscapes, light, and altitude challenges created unique and valuable memories.
