ABOUT

Wandering between sea and sky, I’ve spent the last 14 years capturing the stillness within motion and the story behind silence. 

 

My photography is born on windswept cliffs, quiet shores, and in the shifting light of faraway places.
With a minimalist eye and a long exposure technique. 

 

I seek out moments where time slows, where shape, shadow, and emotion align. Whether drifting on a century-old sailing ship, standing alone before a coastal dawn, or guiding others through their creative path, I approach photography as both a journey and
a language
. It’s how I see, how I connect, and how
I share the beauty I find in the world’s quiet corners.

 

If my images speak to you, I invite you to explore further, and perhaps, one day, to create alongside me.

PUBLICATIONS

My work has been recognized and featured in several renowned photography and art publications over the years. 

 

These appearances reflect the growing appreciation for my minimalist approach and long exposure technique, as well as the stories I aim to tell through each image. 

 

From fine art magazines to international photography journals, these features highlight the evolving journey of my visual narrative.

In 2021, a double spread page illustrated interview was published in Digital Camera Magazine, for a Landscape special issue.

 

This publication is based on my colour photography series produced in Norway, based on compositions that use a mix of textures, colours and geometric lines.

In 2018, a 12-page illustrated interview was published in the Minimalism Photography Magazine, ISSUE 09.

This publication is based on my Black and White work, which was produced before I started work in colour.
