About me
I photograph dogs, horses
and other pets -
and the people who love them
and know them best.
My focus is not just on how they look,
but on the expression you recognize.
I have been involved with horses for over 40 years
and have been a horse owner since 1988.
Dogs have always been a part of my life as well.
I work quietly and with patience,
allowing each animal to be itself.
Some sessions are light and playful.
Others are calmer and more meaningful.
Some portraits become especially important.
Not because they are perfect,
but because they hold something you don’t want to lose.
You don’t need to prepare much.
We take it step by step
and adapt the session to
what feels right.
I also photograph nature and quiet moments from the world around me.

My work has been featured in publications such as
Veikle Balder, Våre Spaniels, Schäferhunden and Dølahesten, as well as on websites including Hest.no
and Norsk Spaniel Klub.
