Elen Loftesnes: people and places in mid-century Sogndal

Elen Loftesnes (1905-1979) worked as a photographer in Sogndal from 1930 until the early 1960's. She enjoyed getting around by car, bike, bus and hiking, and photographed landscapes and everyday life from Sogndal and its surroundings. Here is a collection of her work, from portraits and postcards to her private snaps.

The photos are a part of the large photo archive of Loftesenes, published by Fylkesarkivet i Vestland. The project is supported by the Arts Council Norway and the National Archives of Norway.
