I’m Sivert Almvik (b. 1981), a street and documentary photographer living in Oslo, Norway.

A manifesto. A dogma.
I was walking through a park on my way to the bus. A frying pan was sitting in the snow next to a tree. Pan, tree, packed snow.

I went to Rådhusplassen on 17 November 2025 to photograph 50 000 people celebrating the first Norwegian men’s national football team World Cup qualification since 1998. Not because I care about football, but because I had new equipment to test and a crowd that size is hard to ignore.
An older man boards an Oslo tram carrying a rocking chair and a pair of skis. It might be the most Norwegian photo I’ve ever taken.
