Welcome to my corner of the web. Here, I share my journeys, a collection of my favorite photographs, and the projects I’m currently working on. Thank you for stopping by!
Testing something in Nannestad
Inspired by one of Eva Polak’s videos on Impressionist techniques, I experimented with some of the methods on my way to work in Nannestad. I may have gone a bit overboard, but I’m very excited by the photos in the end. Is this a direction I should dive into? I continue my wanderings as a developing photographer, searching for my path.
A frosty sunrise
At −28 degrees Celsius, with the low sun, it was a challenge I had to try. I struggled for a while to find a way to edit the pictures to accentuate the cold, freezing morning. This is the best I could do, and I think it’s working — do you?
A quiet Walk along Akerselva river
My trip to Oslo ended with an exploration of the lower parts of the Akerselva river. Because of low light, I photographed the upper waterfall in monochrome — the waterfall is also called “Seilduksfossen” by the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. I will return to explore more of Akerselva: its old industrial buildings, waterfalls, and cultural influences.
A few days later — still in December — I continued my walk up the Akerselva river to Nydalen. It was a journey through time, from old industrial architecture to modern residential and shopping quarters. The photos are from Vøyenfallene (two pictures), Hjulafossen, Myrafallet with Myrafallet Bridge, and Ringnes Brewery. A cup of coffee and a freshly made waffle with brunost at Anne på Landet before I went home ended the day’s exploration.
The last day of 2025 I ended my quiet walk along the Akerselva, from Nydal up to Maridalsvannet. The day was partly sunny and offered a light better than on my previous walks. I kept to monochrome images — my quiet wanderings along the Akerselva have become a kind of search for industrial motifs and the waterfalls. One fall I did not reach this time — the tallest, Bjølsenfossen (16 m) — so that will have to wait for another occasion. The walk also allowed space for a few minimalist frames and a couple of bird shots (not my strongest suit): one of them was the white-throated dipper, Norway’s national bird.
Freezing Conditions and Crystalline Detail
An opportunity to catch the frost on the first really cold day — straight into the woods. A real challenge to capture the white frost crystals and the cold while keeping the details. First time I ever longed for a good macro objective.
Finally, a day to shoot.
The weather forecast suggested there might be a break in the grey, perhaps even some blue sky that could translate into good photos. I went to a new spot on Jeløya — Jeløya Radio — and took these pictures. Just two of them, it felt amazing, and I’m pleased with the results.
Oslo and Hadeland
A week filled with conferences and the opportunity to take my camera for an evening walk, capturing images of Oslo and the sister churches at Granavollen.
