Thorstein Berg. Fine Art outdoor photographer from Stavanger, Norway.

I've been photographing since 2003, first with analog equipment, mainly Mamiya MSX 500 and Nikon F90x as my main cameras. Went fully digital in 2010 after a break from photography for about 2 years.
Before my break I mainly focused on consertphotography, but after the turn to fully digital, my focus shifted to outdoor photography, with focus on the norwegian landscape.
As my base is Stavanger in the district of Jæren in Rogaland, I use this area as my main subject for my photography.

My camerabag is mainly packed up with this gear:
-Nikon D800
-Tamron SP 28-75mm f2.8
-Tamron SP 70-200mm f2.8
-Nikon AF 28 f2.8D
-Nikon AF 50 f1.8 D
-Formatt Hitech 100mm standard ND and Soft Edge ND-Grads
-Lee Hard Edge ND-grad
-Kenko U/V and circular polarizer
-Sekonic L-358 Lightmeter

Herzlich willkommen in meiner Galerie!

‘Keine Kunst ohne Trunkenheit. Dann aber: göttliche Trunkenheit! Die Vernunft möge verschwinden! Rausch! Das höchste Stadium des Rausches! In den brennendsten Wahnsinn getaucht! Viel weiter als je der Alkohol führt! Die Kunst ist die leidenschaftlichste Orgie des Menschen. Kann man Menschen begegnen, die von Kunst ganz nüchtern sprechen und einfach sagen: ‘Ich werde mir gleich ein Bild anschauen‘, ohne mit den Zähnen zu klappern? - als ob es sich nicht um die tiefste und totalste Ausschweifung handle, eine Art Sabbat, wohin man sich wahrscheinlich nicht begibt, ohne daß das Herz beklommen schlägt, wenn man anderen anvertraut: ‘Ich gehe gleich zu einem Zauberer und lasse mich in eine Maus verwandeln.‘
Jean Dubuffet

I grew up on the creative side of the advertising world
and had the pleasure of working with hundreds of clients
around the world; telling their unique stories in very unique ways.
Along the way, I've had the pleasure of working with an incredible number of talented photographers, directors, cinematographers and imagemakers.
I became envious of their art and craft. At first, I saw it as a means of reducing my stress-filled life.
As a Chief Creative Officer at the world's largest Advertising Agency Network, I needed a distraction.
So I bought a camera. And then another. And another.
My new hobby and daily "creative exercise regimen" quickly turned into a joy-filled and all consuming passion.

I love talking to all sorts of people and seem to have a knack for getting them to open up and share themselves
despite the intrusion and intimidation that a serious-looking camera often represents.

I like seeking out and sharing things I find interesting
Beautiful things. Powerful things. Poignant things.

I am incredibly patient and am often rewarded with moments of magic.

I also enjoy taking something ordinary and making it something well beyond that.
(To paraphrase Ansel Adams: "...making pictures, not just taking them.")
Illustration and painting are other passions and I love creating unique photocompositions.

One thing led to another and now I'm published, winning awards and having my work shown in galleries.

Happiness.

So here I am.
Open for business.
And open for any adventure that needs an image or two.
