What inspires you?

The interaction between natural forces and the landscape, particularly the movement of wind, water, and light. I am drawn to how landscapes are shaped over time—how they change, erode, and shift, often beyond human perception. The challenge of visualizing these invisible forces and processes through analog photography drives much of my work.

Describe your creative process.

I work exclusively with analog techniques, using long exposures, multiple exposures, and experimental darkroom processes to visualize movement and time. Many of my photographs are taken from a drifting boat, where the camera becomes both observer and participant in the forces shaping the scene.

What are 3 words that best describe your work?

Time-based, immersive, elemental.

Who are some artists that have influenced your work?

J.M.W. Turner for his ability to translate movement into still images, Hiroshi Sugimoto for his exploration of time in seascapes, and Dag Alveng, who was both a mentor and an inspiration in working with analog processes. The typological approach of Bernd and Hilla Becher and the experimental methodologies of early photographic pioneers have also informed my practice, particularly in understanding photography as a process of accumulation and transformation rather than mere documentation.

What is the most important tool when creating your work?

My horizontal enlarger with LED light, which allows large-scale precision printing.

What is the best piece of advice you have been given?

Working with analog photography means embracing unpredictability—natural forces, chemistry, and light all shape the final image. Instead of forcing control, allowing these elements to interact freely often leads to the most compelling results.

Where do you go for inspiration?

The sea. Living in Lyngør, I experience constant shifts in weather, light, and tides, which directly influence my work. The act of being on a boat, moving with the landscape, and witnessing its fluidity provides endless inspiration.
