Norwegian russ eight years later

In 2004 VG-photographer Kim Nygård followed a group of russ. Every year graduating students at high schools dress up and party in three weeks before the Norwegian national day at May 17th. They are known as russ.On May 17th in 2004 there was a newspaper strike so the pictures where never published. Now, eight years later we checked out how the russ of the bus Døgnvill turned out. Story was published in VG Fredag.photocrati gallery

Pictures at Saatchi Gallery

I participated in a photo contest called Google Photography Prize this week. They received pictures form 20.000 students from all around the world. Ten photographers where chosen as finalists and I was one of them. The price was a all-expenses-paid trip to London and to get some of my photos displayed at Saatchi Gallery in London. A great honour. Even though I did't win the final prize it was very cool to see my pictures at Saatchi. Story in Dagbladet.photocrati gallery
