Our Photographers
Both of our photographers call Trondheim home — the ancient city of Nidaros, where the Nidelva river meets the fjord and the Nidarosdomen cathedral rises against the Norwegian sky. It is a city that shaped them, and a landscape they return to again and again with their cameras. But their love for the North reaches far beyond the city limits — across Norway's mountains, waterfalls, and coastlines, and northward to the dramatic shores of Iceland. What they share is a deep, quiet reverence for the Nordic landscape, and the patience to wait for the moment when light, weather, and place come together.

📍 Trondheim, Norway🏔️ Landscape Photography🌌 Northern Lights🌊 Fjords & Waterfalls
Born in 1982 and based in Trondheim — the historic city of Nidaros — Øyvind Sjøvoll has spent years documenting the wild beauty of the Norwegian landscape. He draws inspiration from everything the North has to offer: dramatic waterfalls, colourful sunsets, the silent stillness of a fjord at dusk, and the northern lights arching across a star-filled sky.
Øyvind's photography carries an emotional quality — he wants the viewer to stop, to dream, and to feel transported into the scene. As he puts it himself: "The best thing about photography is creating beautiful memories and preserving something you will never see again."
His work spans the length and width of Norway — from the mountain valley of Innerdalen to the islands of Lofoten, the coastal landscapes of Trøndelag, and east to Iceland. He has won multiple photography competitions and his work can be viewed all over the internet and even in outdoor galleries at Innerdalen and Langsanden.

📍 Trondheim, Norway🌲 Forest Photography🌧️ Atmospheric & Moody🇮🇸 Iceland
Fredrik Strømme is a landscape and forest photographer based in Trondheim, Norway — a city he has loved and photographed throughout his life. His passion for photography began in high school with an obsession for Photoshop and digital art, but it was the moment he picked up his first DSLR and stepped into the forest that everything changed.
Fredrik's style is immediately recognisable: moody, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in the feeling of being alone in nature. He doesn't chase golden hour sunsets — he heads out when it rains, when the mist rolls through the trees of Trondheims Urban Wilderness, and when the light is grey and cinematic. "You won't find me shooting sunsets," he says. "But when it rains, I will head out and hunt for motives."
His work has been featured on several National Geographic Facebook groups and on Instagram's main account, reaching close to 400 million people. He has over 30,000 followers on Instagram. His travels have taken him across Norway and to Iceland, where he captured extraordinary images including the basalt canyon of Studlagil — one of the most remote and dramatic landscapes in the North Atlantic.
