ESPEN TOLLEFSEN<br />

1963 NORWAY PHOTOGRAPHY<br />

Norwegian photographer Espen Tollefsen produces photographic art projects, documentary photography for magazines and photo-based illustrations.<br />

He grew up in northern Norway, and its people and rural landscape—particularly the rugged beaches within the Arctic Circle—have served as the starting<br />

point for many of his projects.<br />

Tollefsen touches on themes such as time and transience, especially through panoramic depictions of the power of the northern Norwegian landscape.<br />

He often manipulates and contorts his images using a technique in which he puts together photographs of the same motif taken over the course of a day<br />

or several months. These new compositions challenge their beholders by breaking up the one-eyed central perspective of the camera and replacing it<br />

with a more dynamic view.<br />
