Four projects, made between 2018 and 2026. Bergen-based. Available for editorial commissions and book work.
Six weeks aboard the research vessel Aurora B., following a marine biology team along the southeast Greenland coast and up to Svalbard. The work began as a magazine commission and grew into a book published by Hartmann in spring 2021.
I’m drawn to what an empty horizon does to people who have been at sea for a long time — the way they hold their faces still.
Made during the strange long pause of 2020 and the spring that followed. Four northern cities photographed at hours when nobody else was out: 4 am in Helsinki, the first snowfall in Riga, the empty arcades of Tallinn old town.
Black and white because the colour had gone out of those months anyway.
A study of small fishing communities at the edge of the North Atlantic — the men and women who still work the line boats, the boats themselves, and the houses that the sea has politely allowed to remain.
Published as a long essay in Granta 162. The book is in edit.
A change of register. Rooms in old houses in north-east Italy and along the Slovenian and Istrian coast — the way the afternoon falls across a worn floor, a cupboard left half-open, a curtain in a foreign light.
Quiet pictures. I’ve been making them slowly since last winter and don’t know yet when they end.
I make pictures that take a long time. Mostly I’m interested in the way landscape and weather get into people.
I grew up in a small town on the Oslo fjord and trained in journalism in Stockholm before turning to photography full-time in 2014. I work mostly on long projects — usually a year or two — and the editorial commissions in between pay for the film.
I’m represented in Scandinavia by Agence Vu’ and print my own work in a small darkroom in Bergen. Books available through Hartmann Forlag.
Editorial commissions, print sales, workshops, and book work. I usually reply within a few days — if it’s urgent, say so in the subject line.
