All in Photography
For me Art doesn't exist if one counts the time spending for the creation process. It is not about hours, minutes and seconds. It is about emotions, in search of the infinite detail and perfection, being spontaneous with mind and heart. Understand and to make only one with the universe. This is called "The Spirit of the Thing".

Photography speaks to us at a deeply human level about those things that are most important to us and touches our emotions. Love and connection are enduring themes that run through my work. This is because I see them as the primary motivators in our lives. They are our constant everyday link with eternity. My view is that fine-art photography exists to capture the eternal in the everyday. Those moments that transcend time and place and link us to the universe.
Being keenly aware of feelings that people have at different times in their life I use my editing to focus on the focus points of the photo that will draw them in and trigger an emotional attachment to it.
My journey as a digital artist started as a photographer seeing the world in a different way than most other people. My photographs I was told by some of my fellow photographers were not as perfect as they should be. They looked down at me for not going that extra distance to perfect them. Yet, the world itself is not perfect and so I thought my work was fine.
Dreams allow us to bypass rationality and tap into a deeper, universal language of emotions and symbols. Balancing this fluidity with intellectual and emotional engagement happens naturally when we trust the process. Subconscious imagery often carries its own internal logic, resonating with audiences without the need for explicit explanation.
The day when my consciousness reached the stage where I could consciously perceive feelings, when I understood that each of my works is born. Each one on its own with its own existence. Born, independent of space and time, to then live an existence detached from goal, time, purpose or content. Connected without being methodical. Without any connexion. In no way predictable and always surprisingly different than expected. Stylishness as a stylistic device.

I’ve always loved photography and nature and have been exposed to it from an early age. Cameras were and still are a big part of family get-togethers and vacations. Not having the traditional classroom learning of photography, I’ve read books and magazines through the years, today I utilize online programs to further my photography.

Photography is a way for me to express myself through my lens. Bring beauty and encouragement to others, and allow others to see that dark times in life can bring them into a new light. I love capturing images of a beautiful sunset, as well as a tiny bumblebee sipping nectar from a flower. Nothing in life is too large or small to hold its own beauty.

Anders have an fascination of the raw naked nature that can be experienced together with the post-war architecture, and the arctic light that gives you daylight 24-hours a day in summertime or total lack of sun in wintertimes. His work from Finnmark contains an combination of the nature and post-war architecture. The motives contains an feelings of emptiness and decay, where the nature plays a role that you can get a glimmer of in the window reflection, or from inside-out.
In my photos I favor compositional harmony, chromatic sense and the infinite variations of nature. I try to capture the beauty of landscapes, the liveliness of city life but I often portray details that strike me. Close-ups and masks have always fascinated me because they reveal the essence of the person being portrayed. My works often focus on sea or mountain landscapes and try to capture particular moments or unusual scenarios. My love for cinema and art has influenced my style.
