Hello, and welcome to my stream!
My name is Silje Tveitnes Halvorsen. I am a sixteen year old girl who lives in the rainy but beautiful city, Bergen in Norway. Currently, I'm in my first year studying media and communication.

My interest for photography started in the end of 2009, I think. My parents had a Canon 350D which I could borrow somethimes, and so I did. 30th of december, 2009 I uploaded five photos. That was my first posts on Flickr. One of them won second place in the Twitter PhotoChallange #34. The theme was "mystery". I love that picture, and there are so many nice comments that I really appreciate there too.

Before I created a Flickr-account, I had a photoblog, but that lasted only a few months before I realized flickr was a million times better. I've had 10 photos in Explore. Every single one of them is special to me in one way or another, and most of them are selfportraits.

[Explored] The things i never told you by Silje Halvorsen


I hate doing selfportraits, but in one tiny way i find some kind of joy in it as well. I am extremely critical when it comes to evaluating a selvfpotrait. And because I'm so into making every detail as perfect as possible, I find it easier to use my friends as models. Then, I can adjust everything from how the wind in their hair is flowing, or the angle of their fingertip, all depending of how I like it best from the view through the camera.

I mix my private life info the photography, simply because I see art as a great way to express your emotions in a sensible way.

I'm still trying to find my "style" in photography, but I'll get there. I do know that I hate taking pictures of something without artistic people in it. I love dresses. I love the 18th century. I love Ebay. And I love that feeling I get every time I go out to do a photoshoot, and just let my thoughts disappear for an hour or two.

When I've finished school here in norway, my plan is to move to sweden and study media there. We'll see. Right now, I'll just enjoy every smile you flickr-people give me by posting amazing photos, and make art that I can be proud of.

I'll see you around!
Love, Silje
