Landscape Photography
The Season Begins in the Mind
It is still quiet. The main photography season has not yet begun, but my thoughts are already travelling. I am preparing routes, exploring new locations and revisiting old notes. Across Norway, from the rugged southern coast to the vast landscapes of the north, new photographic journeys are taking shape…
Between Sky and Water
Sometimes it takes very little: a few mountains, still water and sunlight. The landscape rests without a breath of wind, while the sky and its reflection seem to touch. Nothing spectacular happens. And that is precisely what makes the moment worth remembering…
When Winter Grows Quieter
There are days when you can sense the change, even though it is hard to measure. Winter is still here, but its grip is loosening. The light stays longer and takes on a warmer, softer tone. Frost still covers the frozen fjord in the morning, but by afternoon the ice begins to thaw in places. A quiet sign that something new is on its way…
The Patience of Winter
It is bitterly cold. The waterfall has fallen silent, frozen in mid-fall as though time itself had stopped. Blue ice hangs heavy between dark rocks. But beneath that stillness, water continues to move. This photograph is not really about winter. It is about waiting…
In the Light of the Cold
It began on skis, in clear and bitterly cold air. Later, on frozen ground, I photographed mountains catching the first light of day while the valley remained in shadow. Everything seemed wonderfully still…
At the End of the Fjord
At the end of the fjord, everything rests. Ice reaches all the way to the shore and the boathouses stand quietly beside the frozen water. In the soft winter light, even waiting becomes part of photography…
At the Zenith
While much of Europe saw the northern lights on the horizon, here in Norway the aurora was directly overhead. Green and violet curtains flowed across the sky, as though I were standing inside the light…
Frozen Lake
Winter has quieted the landscape. The lake lies frozen beneath a thin layer of ice, with a single branch and its reflection creating a simple, almost symmetrical image. Nothing moves. Nothing needs to…
Chaos and Calm
Das Meer war da. In Bewegung, unruhig, nie still. Und doch wirkte alles ruhig, fast gesammelt. Dieses Bild entstand früh am Morgen, zum Sonnenaufgang. Der Tag hatte gerade begonnen, das Licht war niedrig, weich und klar. Ein typisches Winterlicht, zurückhaltend und ehrlich. Es legte sich über die Felsen, ohne sie zu dramatisieren, als wolle es…
A Quiet Beginning
Der Jahreswechsel liegt hinter uns. Die Tage waren dunkel, die Nächte noch lang, und für einen Moment schien alles stillzustehen. Auch ich habe mich zurückgezogen, habe dem Winter Raum gelassen. Ein stiller Winterschlaf, der nötig war, um wieder klar zu sehen. Dieses Bild entstand in einer Zeit des Wartens. Die Sonne steht noch tief, aber…
