I’m a street and documentary photographer living in Oslo, Norway. This is my little space on the interwebs.

Being a selfish photographer can be the best thing you do for both you and your images.
All cameras are exactly the same. What matters is how they make you feel.
I shoot street photography almost every day here in Oslo. Sometimes I’m on holiday and a tourist. Still, I think like a street photographer. The result is that I often come home from holiday with pictures of strangers instead of pictures of old buildings or beautiful nature.
Artificial intelligence, eye tracking, pet mode, follow focus. Yes, there’s no shortage of ‘magical’ autofocus aids for the modern photographer who needs to get images sharp in no time. When it comes to shooting street photography, I prefer to make it even easier and even faster. The solution is hyperfocal distance.
In 2017, I travelled to the exclusion zone around Chornobyl. I spent two days inside the zone, seeing the areas around the power plant and the abandoned town of Prypiat.
Ten years ago I bought my girlfriend a small camera: the Fuji X20. She’s not using it that much anymore. It is time for me to give it a go, and use it to boost my creativity.
