I’m a Norwegian photojournalist based in Switzerland. I cover politics, finance, breaking news, sports, the arts and stories related to climate change. I also serve various NGO's with photography needs.
My images documenting global warming impact and impacters have been widely published and notably also resulted in the exhibition "As You were" at the Drik Picture Library in Bangladesh as well as a year long photo exhibition at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, commemorating the Nobel laureates IPCC and Al Gore.
Featured by Getty, Alamy, Hemis, #EveryDayClimateChange and ClimateVisuals, my work has been published in major newspapers and magazines world wide.

His creativity is matched by his strong sense of integrity and dedication to the job, making him not only a multitalented artist but also a trusted professional."

" Friendship NGO began its operations in 2002 pioneering a hospital ship for the most unaddressed and deprived communities in the world living on sand bank islands (called chars), of the mighty Jamuna River (Brahmaputra) in Bangladesh. The operations have since grown to integrate health, education, sustainable economic development, inclusive citizenship, climate action and cultural preservation in a holistic approach reaching millions across the country.
I travelled with Ørjan to the chars, and during our time on assignment, he took genuine interest in getting to know the people, and respectfully tried to get below the surface and understand their experiences and those of their communities. His inquiring mind and attention to detail helped him to develop insights about social and economic issues prevalent in the region. He was also able to quickly grasp the complexity of Friendship’s operations, and to contextualize the organization’s approaches and strategies—resulting in beautiful and expressive images that lit up our platforms for months."
“ We hired Orjan to take individual portraits and a group staff photo of our organisation. He was extremely professional, arriving early to set up and find the right places for the photos. He arranged all of us in an organised and fast manner and delivered the photos very promptly after they were taken. It was a pleasure to work with him!”
