About me
I am a passionate amateur photographer from Norway. My shooting style is mostly candid, but exclusively with fully manual settings. I love pictures with silky smooth bokeh and razor sharp details side by side. That's why I use only high quality, fast prime lenses and full-frame cameras. Most photos are shot in natural light and natural surroundings. I frequently use a white balance reference card or filter for natural and vibrant colors, but apart from that I edit my images as little as possible. Reality is my reference (but nevertheless unattainable).
