About Norwegian photographer Eivind H. NATVIG (b. 1978)

Elvind NATVIG is a visual artist based in northern Norway, his visual language is deeply rooted in documentary tradition and journalistic method, yet attains an uncommon photographic freedom. He holds a degree in photography from Oslo University College. After extensive work in South Asia, he moved to the Lofoten archipelago in 2012 to focus on long-term projects at home. Following years of editorial work, both in at home and abroad, he has concentrated more and more of his energy on personal narratives, resulting in books and exhibitions in galleries and museums. He sees photography as a means of discovering new points of view and a tool for conveying the experiences common to all humankind. His ruminations on the human condition provide a poetic testament on how profound and astonishing ordinary life can be. He has received numerous grants to support his work from the Fritt Ord Foundation, Arts Council Norway and others. His work has been exhibited at institutions as Trondheim Art Museum, Perspektivet Museum, Oslo Museum and has also been shown at festivals and venues worldwide. Currently he is working on one project in the Middle East and one in his adopted island home of Lofoten.
