The Norwegian Red Deers are extremely shy and elusive creatures, due to extensive hunting. They feed during night, and move from the feeding grounds to the daytime resting places as the sun rises. I have been following them for a few years, documenting this part of their life.
Nature photography is a hobby of great importance to me - a welcome break from hectic workdays. There is a good synergy between the two; on one side a busy travel schedule and heavy workload makes me look even more forward to the the breaks under open sky; on the other side many a business related challenge is resolved while killing time in a hide, waiting for the motives to arrive.
Capturing the beauty of nature is in many ways in contrast to the strict and sometimes harsh rules of the commercial world. I could not have found a more refreshing and recuperating activity to create balance in life.
I have been awarded the Norwegian Nature Photographer of the Year title three times, in 2014, 2016 and 2017m and is also awarded in a number of International photo contests.

About author:
Growing up in the mountain village of Soknedal in Sør-Trøndelag County in Norway, nature was nearby and a natural venue for spare time activities. My fascination for wildlife was developed through numerous hikes in the forest surrounding our family farm as well as hikes and hunting trips to Forolhogna National Park.Nature photography is a hobby of great importance to me - a welcome break from hectic workdays.
