In 2004 I went for a trip to Shetland all alone for a few days. I stayed in different places, either hotels, or rented apartments every night and drove all over the largest islands that make up this wonderful place .It was the first time I drove on the left side of the road, which lead to a couple of interesting situations in the traffic.
This dirt road, outlined by the brick walls that criss cross the entire island, was one of the best landscape shots I got on the first day of my trip. I like the way the road seems to disappear almost into the clouds.
This is shot with a very wide 16mm lens which always exaggerates perspective, at f/22 for maximum depth of field. At the time I had the Canon EOS 10D, which was my first full frame digital camera.

Dark and eery places have always attracted me somehow. This ruin of a building had been turned into a graveyard. The mood in places like this is quite special. You sort of expect ghosts or something to rise up from the ground or out of the ruin walls. And when you are alone, in the middle of nowhere, it's turns into an experience that you remember.

My friend Kristoffer and I some how managed to be anointed "all access photographers" for a large festival in Oslo. Unlike "regular" photographer that can only take photos of the bands from in front of the stage, we could walk on the stage during the concerts, backstage and really all over the place. We hade a great time and got a few good photos.
The person in the photo is Sivert Høyem, vocalist in one of my favourite bands Madrugada

After re-starting my photography journey by focusing on astro photography, which have beautiful subjects that (almost) never change I wanted to shoot another kind of beautiful subject. This was one of my first successful artistic nude shoots, with Tina. I felt I got the lighting soft and nice, and the post is not to provocative and leaves a little to the imagination.
Shot with the Canon EOS 1D Mark II and Canon 50mm with one large soft box over the model

This guy looks like Gary Oldman as the vampire. Shot in a hotel in Trondheim, when I took some time of work to be a photographer full time.
