About “Greenhouse”
Photography is about conveying emotions and trying to convey the inside of me as a photographer to other people. This series is my artistic expression as a photographer. For a long time I have been working with movement in my pictures. I use my camera as a paintbrush with long shutter speeds and movement with my camera during the exposure.
This series of 20 pictures is entitled GREENHOUSE. We humans move in a greenhouse where we are blind to what is happening outside. Our eyes and our inner self have lost focus on the future and the planet we live on. On the outside, we have the world that is about to be destroyed. It’s about stopping and thinking about doing something before it’s too late. If you get to the other side of the walk in the greenhouse, it’s too late. We walk in fixed patterns like robots on lines where we only see the green right in front of us. We deceive ourselves and do not think about the consequences that the next generation will face.
I want to convey with this series that everyone has a common responsibility to preserve the future before it is too late. I hope the photos can create a sense of responsibility.

THE COUNT’S FEUD
As a photographer, I am drawn to making portraits.
In this series, I seek to capture the feel and mood from the period around the civil war in Denmark 1534-1536, called The Count’s Feud, which is where the country became Protestant.
Every year, a fair called Medieval Days is held at Voergaard Castle. This focuses on exactly this period, and great effort is made to recreate the life of the people who lived at this time.
I want to show how people from the different social classes would have appeared at the time of the Count’s Feud.
The series shows high born and low born, from nobles to peasants, countrymen, artisans, clergy, prostitutes and other good people.
I have chosen the same lighting setup, background, textures and tones in post-processing to create a uniform look to the images.

Om prosjektet “Ein grisehistorie”
På eit gardsbruk i Kvinnherad driv dei enno med griseavl slik dei har gjort i generasjon etter generasjon i mange hundre år. Det nermar seg jul og dei 5–6 grisene på garden skal slaktast. Alt føregår på gamlemåten, så derfor er det ekstra viktigt å dokumentera ein eldgamal tradisjon som snart kan gå i gløymeboka. “I dag kjem jo kotelettene frå frysaren på Rema 1000”.
Det å slakta gris krever sin mann og ein skal veta kva ein gjer. Eit velretta skudd og etter eit par krampetrekningar er han død. Nå er det viktigt alt alt går fort , han skal stikkast og tappast for blod som må rørast med ein gang. Blodpølser og blodpannekaker står på menyen dei neste dagane… Ein mann har ansvaret for å halda oppe temperaturen på vatnet i den store gryta, gloheit vatn og skarp kniv kreves for å få av busta. Alle mann på garden har gjort dette mange ganger tidligare og veit nøyaktigt kva som er deira jobb, denne dagen i slutten av november.
