After two recent trips to the western parts of Norway – Vestlandet – I am able to present a new collection of images – Winter in Norway. My aim was to convey interesting winter scenes and also depict weather conditions typical to the norwegian winter.
My trips departed from Tønsberg, which gave me the opportunity to work in Hemsedal and Numedal on my way to Vestlandet and back.
At both trips I decided to use analog medium format cameras – in order to maintain a better productivity than large format photography allows. Choosing medium format gave some more advantages. I had a real telephoto option, as I brought my 500mm lens for 6x6-format. Using medium format cameras also made it possible to use the interesting Ilford SFX200 film – which gave the images a unique look.
