PHOTOGRAPHERS STATEMENT
Experienced editorial and commercial photographer based in Oslo, Norway
I am working for corporate & commercial clients, corporate publishing houses as well as leading magazines on assignments in Norway, Scandinavia and abroad.
Creative treatment of actuality
I discover the motives in authenticity and on location. Paired with experience, intuition and the understanding of the subject, this documentary approach enables me to take photographs of a broad spectre of topics and different people.
Always with the same professional dedication and empathy.

COVID-19
"I am working at any time according to the most recent regulations of the government regarding the Covid-19 crisis. Together with my clients and subjects, I will discuss in advance of every shooting, how to act during the photo shootings to avoid the risk of spreading of the corona virus. I have adjusted my workflow-routines, which are based on Covid-19 guidelines by international photographer organisations."
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
Since 1997 I have been working full-time as a photographer, only interrupted by a couple of years on the other side: at the picture desk of the daily newspaper "die tageszeitung" and a magazine in Berlin. Prior to working as a photographer, I took a Master´s degree in Political Science, Social Anthropology and Economics at the University of Freiburg - which may have influenced my kind of fieldwork approach to photography. In 2005 I moved from Germany to Oslo. During these years I have aquired an in-depth local knowledge of Oslo and the Norwegian society.
Speaking Norwegian, German and English.
I look forward to supporting your project with my photographs. Please don´t hesitate to get in touch.
