Winter in Norway!

After two recent trips to the western parts of Norway – Vestlandet – I am able to present a new collection of images – Winter in Norway. My aim was to convey interesting winter scenes and also depict weather conditions typical to the norwegian winter.

My trips departed from Tønsberg, which gave me the opportunity to work in Hemsedal and Numedal on my way to Vestlandet and back.

At both trips I decided to use analog medium format cameras – in order to maintain a better productivity than large format photography allows. Choosing medium format gave some more advantages. I had a real telephoto option, as I brought my 500mm lens for 6x6-format. Using medium format cameras also made it possible to use the interesting Ilford SFX200 film – which gave the images a unique look.

Hvaler – an arhipelago of rock slopes and potholes

Hvaler – previously named Hvaløerne (“Whale islands”) is famous for its unique landscape. All over the islands of Hvaler you can observe how the glacier of the last ice age shaped the landscape. You can find potholes and beautiful slope rocks almost everywhere.

After four years of work, I am happy to publish some of my works from Hvaler. I have been working both with 8x10 large format camera and a 6x6 medium format camera. Images are recorded on Ilford FP4+, Ilford SFX 200 and Ilford Delta 100.
