Håvard is a Norwegian art and commercial photographer, based in Oslo. He is also a photo and film producer, and produce and shoot, side by side - always looking for a good story to tell.

His photography interest started out on the snowy peaks of Norway and Austria, where he shot his friends doing extreme sports. This quickly led to assignments for magazines both nationally and internationally.

After 3 years doing a BA in fine art photography in England, he returned to Norway and in 2005, started a photo production company. This opened a door to the film industry, where he sidetracked into doing almost every possible part of a production from Location Manager, Props Master, Stills Photographer to Producer. After almost 10 years within the industry he started on a new path with the release of his first book: Mitt Oslo (My Oslo), in 2014.
