Looking back over my portfolio of work, I’ve noticed that wherever I am in the world, I always end up photographing water—whether it’s a fjord in Norway, San Francisco Bay, seas, rivers or lakes. Growing up on the edge of a fjord in northern Norway and coming from a long line of fishermen, I have always felt a strong connection to the sea. Some of my earliest memories are of fishing trips with my grandfather in his tiny rowboat and of canoeing with my family on mountain lakes.

My portraiture and commercial work—for which I work a lot with lights and sets—are varied, and I love a good challenge or new experience, but it is always comforting for me to be back near the water. I find myself shooting by the water whenever I feel homesick or want to clear my mind.

Even though I love the organised chaos that comes with living in a metropolitan city like Barcelona, what I enjoy most are the silent moments. In the early morning or late at night is when I truly feel in my element—when the fog comes rolling in over the beach or just as the sun rises on the Mediterranean horizon.
