Nomad Stories

“I consider it to be very special that I can contribute to the image of the world, and that my photographs freeze how a place looks like a second in time, an instant in history.”

“What I’m trying to do with photography is to preserve an image of the world, to communicate what it was, what it is and what it is going to be, as humanity, as nature and as territory.”

“This year’s trip to Iceland was one of the best travel experiences so far. The moment I witnessed the Aurora Borealis is something that will forever remain on my mind. Contemplating these outstanding landmarks gave me the opportunity to think deeper about life and these reflections enable me to be more creative.”

“Life is too short and valuable for us to pretend. We should do what intrinsically energizes us, what allows us to spread positive vibrations to our surroundings. We should develop, evolve, and bring out the best in ourselves, even in circumstances where everything goes wrong.”

“With each place visited my enthusiasm for photography grew and now it is a vital part of my life, a wonderful tool and activity that works like therapy. William James once said: “The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.” Personally I choose wanderlust over any other thing.”

“In the summer of 2015 I realized a dream I had had for a long time, doing a world trip exploring 12 countries in 12 months. This sabbatical allowed me to listen to the irrepressible need I felt to depart on an adventure in search of answers to the existential, spiritual and metaphysical questions I had been asking myself.”

“In my photos I look for contrast, so the images give a deeper feeling of awareness. Like seeing an emotional and impactful movie. The only opinion that matters is your own. It is your art, a demonstration of what you see and feel.”

“I love to create, and to create everlasting memories from all over Norway and the world, is just amazing in every way. I have so much to see and experience, and now I’m finally getting there. That I get to do this together with someone I love is truly special.”

“Inside our human nature, we have an ‘innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life’, this is called the biophilia hypothesis. This hypothesis is something I can relate to; sometimes you get that overwhelming feeling that you need to be outside, going back to the roots of human nature and capturing something totally unique in remote places.”

“I am very optimistic and wanted to bring more color into my life. I found I could share this with the world through photography and that is where my style derives from; I love color and my work represents that.”
