In collaboration with The Norwegian Seafood Council

 In a time where millennials become academics and work in offices, hands-on professions like fishing are disappearing rapidly. Recruiting youngsters to hard, cold and demanding jobs as fishermen is harder today than it has ever been before. 

Through this project I teamed up with The Norwegian Seafood Council to travel around the north of Norway on the hunt for young fishermen to photograph. The project portrays both today’s fishing industry as well as seafood production of tomorrow with salmon fish farming. 

I love people who take charge of their own happiness. This is one of the reasons I chose to photograph people in drag. They just do it no matter what others might think, challenging gender norms and stereotypes along the way.

This project is an exploration of gender expression and sexuality. The drag kings and queens were photographed in their own environments: clubs, bars and dressing rooms. I have tried to show the person behind the makeup, wigs and moustaches. This project is a celebration of difference and the art of drag.
