The Photographers of Oslo: Øyvind Nordhagen | DOCUMENTARY | STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

[@qimsim_]

Wohooo! This was fantastic. Engaging video and what an awesome photographer Øyvind is. Looking forward to the projects final destination and your next video Sivert. Awesome!

[@SivertAlmvik]

@@qimsim_ Thanks!

Thank you so much for the encouraging feedback, KD 😀

Regarding Øyvinds artist statement, this is so true! Oslo will never be the same again when the last SL79 tram disappears. The city will become just an ordinary city like many others with no real soul. I will miss the sound, the ride-experience onboard the SL79 and how they light up the streets of Oslo. Especially I will miss sitting in the frontwagon (where the lights are off) in the winter on a early morning next to the hot radiator by the window (looking forward, as all the seats are forward-facing) These trams are the essence of Oslo, and without them, the city will never be the same. It’s truly heartbreaking

I feel you. Thanks for chipping in 🙂

Ahh the subway photobook genre, it’s a classic. Bruce Davidson’s Subway, Walker Evans’ Many are called, and Michael Wolf’s claustrophobic Tokyo compression, to name a few. So much inspiration to get from these hard hitting comments on society. «Norwegian-ness» … being Norwegian and a former photographer I like that 😊 Good luck with the project! And thanks for the video.

[@SivertAlmvik]

@@terjemyller6573 A little less violence and not so much grit on the Oslo trams compared to NYC in the 80s 😄

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. Of course Bruce Davidson came to mind early on, but I deliberately wanted to distance myself from that kind of inspiration. NY subway in the 80’s and Oslo trams of present day are simply too different to warrant any resemblance of aesthetic.

11:30 "Not being too critical in the moment, and then being critical after the fact" Same princible as expressed by Rick Rubin and many other great artists of various mediums over the years- it truly holds weight 💜

Really charming and raw work by Nordhagen from the streets. Hope to see more Oslo-ness like this from you in the future from other photographers.

[@SivertAlmvik]

Thanks! I have more photographers lined up

Thank you! I'm working on a couple of more videos in this series 💪

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Nice 👍

[@nozari28]

Cool project! I am glad that they are replacing the trams tho. They weren't nice to ride and not accessible for low mobility people...

[@leone1309]

Fantastisk video om en fantastisk fotograf!

[@SivertAlmvik]

@@leone1309 Tusen takk!

Det var hyggelig å høre 🙂

Great video! Subbed!

[@nickpadget]

All very cool

[@sagebrother]

Interesting video. I was in Bergen last year and got a lot of "grief" from a group of younger people for including them in a photo of a neighborhood building. Some subsequent research suggested Norway has quite strict rules about photographing people in public. Maybe it only applies to visitors!😊

Nah, we have pretty standard European rules on this, but surprisingly many seem to think otherwise.

[@TommyNordpole]

Well done! 🎉🎉🎉 Good luck on your KZbin journey! 😎📸

[@SivertAlmvik]

Thanks!

[@MichaelJohnsenOslo]

Oooh, Paulie B style Walkie Talkies fra Oslo? I'm in 😍 Nydelig å se min gamle kollega dukke opp på noe sånt 🙏

[@bjeah]

I love this! Are Øyvind's photos on display in a gallery somewhere yet?

Thank you. Sometime next year they will. Stay tuned 🙂

Fantastic photos I love that look your photos have. So many street photographers work looks cloned but yours has a distinct flavor to it. May I ask why you’re shooting on digital and not film? Why are you using the camera you use also? Thank you very much a huge fan from Northern Spain. Please notify us on how we can support this project will it become a book? Because I will definitely be buying it.

I guess the reason I don't shoot film is the same as most others: I simply don't have the money or the patience. I do miss the look, even the mishaps, but I'm not really nostalgic about it. From a productivity and deliverability standpoint I think most pros would agree it's simply not sensible. I use a Fujifilm GFX 100S ll for project photography and a Fujifilm X-E4 for street. Thanks for the lovely feedback :)

[@Kvistum-Media]

My home town captured and interpreted so beautifully. Could I request a similar project for my beloved bus line number 37? ;)

Hahaha, sorry. I don’t really take requests, but you should definitely do it!

[@Kvistum-Media]

Worth considering. As I use to say: If I can't reach a destination with bus number 37, I don't bother going.

@@Kvistum-Media Keepin’ it real, locally 😆

[@GiancarloBenzina]

Norwegian replacement culture (been to multiple times and been working for norwegian company and with norwegian teams in other companies) looks and sounds like a pretty normal german mid2big-size town. Colors, light, trams, fashion, … aside from tiny niggles eventually its indistinguable… sure the periods over the year are different, the nature, the last stop at holmenkollen, etc. but inside it looks the same and even more so as around the shores the same as everywhere international new glasswalled-shoebox style buildings have been deployed there, killed view and some last character.

[@fredrikbankler3773]

👏👏👏

[@GiancarloBenzina]

Pictures must stay in the box, for months or years before you can look at them and see them as for what they are, the quick reactive check of the results at the day or week will not give you the right idea how survivalist these pictures are. So I never delete or throw away pictures, not thinking they‘re mostly good, rather the reverse but you never know, some pictures take very long to survive and become relevant.

That is absolutely true.

[@goldfinch2283]

Good video, great project and very good images! I don’t like the disturbing background music; it is too loud.

Thanks for the feedback! I did mention the volume of the music too. Hope that can be adjusted.

[@SivertAlmvik]

Noted! 😄

[@SteinLauritsen]

Du snakker om storytelling. Før eller siden setter du punktum, men når og hvordan får vi se resultatet?

Hei, Stein. Takk for hyggelig tilbakemelding 🙂 Det blir utstilling til neste år og forhåpentligvis en bok.

[@SteinLauritsen]

Jeg gleder meg :-)

[@182-media]

Ikke alle som flyr rundt som Strret fotograf med 100mp mellomformat :P :)

Nei og det egner seg egentlig ikke til det heller. Bruker APS-C til vanlig på gata.

[@182-media]

Ja fordeler og ulemper med alt. Filene er vel massive? Mine a7rv kameraer produserer jo raw filer på 130 ish mb og det er bare 61mp (BARE) Har mange ganger vudert et point and shoot for EDC

200 MB er der det ligger.

[@jrnstensvold5984]

Supert

Honestly his photography is very average. Oslo is just abt who you know
