I am a Norwegian priest, living on the west coast of Norway in the breathtaking landscapes of Sunnmøre. Photography has been my way of seeing and engaging with the world since 2014—a way to pause, observe, and preserve the fleeting moments that make life so rich.
I am drawn primarily to landscapes: the quiet majesty of fjords and mountains, the subtle play of light at dawn or dusk, and the ever-changing moods of nature. Traveling provides new perspectives, offering glimpses of beauty in distant places that I bring back through my lens. Occasionally, I photograph people too, capturing fleeting expressions, emotions, and moments of connection that speak to the depth of human experience.
My life as a priest shapes the way I see the world: I am drawn to stillness, reflection, and the beauty that surrounds us—in both nature and human encounters. Photography for me is more than an image; it is a meditation, a dialogue with creation, and a way to share the sense of awe I feel in these moments. Life passes quickly, but photographs allow us to linger, reflect, and remember.
All my images contain metadata detailing location, date, and camera settings, so those interested in the technical side can explore further. I welcome your thoughts and feedback—they are part of the journey of learning and growing as a photographer. Above all, I hope my images can invite you to pause, look closely, and experience a moment of stillness, wonder, and beauty.
Memories fade away—pictures don’t.
