About me

I am a photographer based in Trondheim, Norway, and have been photographing since 2006.

I'm a regular music photographer for Disharmoni. I am also a photographer for an international photo agency, Gonzales photo based in Denmark/Germany.

My photos have been published on Wall Street Journal, BBC.com, NRK.no, VG.no, Dagbladet, Gaffa Norway/Sweden/Denmark, Adresseavisen (Norwegian local newspaper), and other news outlets.

I am probably the only badminton photographer on a professional level in Norway, and I have covered several Norwegian veterans championship tournaments, a youth championship tournament, and a lot of local badminton tournaments. 

I have also given Wikimedia quite a few photos, and those photos are used a lot on Wikipedia and countless other web pages around the world.

Favourite photgraphy categories are abstract macro, people/concerts/sports and landscapes.

This site was built with free software, using:

• The CMS (Content Management System) Joomla
• The framework Gantry
• The photo gallery software Event gallery

I run my own very small business with computer help, photography and large prints (24"/61cm on the shortest side).

If you wish to use my concert photos for editorial use, you can buy them at Ritzau Scanpix, NTB/scanpix, Avalon/Photoshot (and third party agencies), Alamy (and third party agencies), Offset, Adobe Premium, Age Fotostock and Dalle. They are distributed to these agencies by Gonzales photo.

All my photos (except portraits of others than yourself) are for sale, digital or print. Contact me, and we'll come to a decent agreement for both of us.
