 THE STORY

I grew up in the seventies in an artistic millieu surrounding an Oslo jazz club. All through my childhood, I accompanied my mother, a painter and graphic artist, to exhibitions. My father, a data engineer, was responsible for my early interest in technology, physics, geometry, contrasts and compositions. At the age of ten, I inherited a camera, and I and my friends began to explore and play with this new toy. This game, for me, has continued for seventeen years. I realized that I got more satisfaction from static images.  I took over the running of a large second-hand vinyl record shop in Oslo. I borrowed equipment from supportive friends, and every day of those four years I went out and photographed people and everyday situations in Oslo.And each evening I sat up late sorting images and sending and receiving advice from established photographers via the internet.Eventually I received some calls, and then a big assignment for a well-known Norwegian firm. For the last five years I have been working full-time as a photographer with some of the biggest firms in Norway as clients. Decorations, photo-reportage, advertising. I am not the kind of man to go and visit war-hardened zones. I am very into natural light. A picture to me is like a perfect equation. Most evenings, when I empty my memory cards, I am as happy as a child on Christmas Eve.

SHAPES by Jonathan Laurence













SHAPES:
SHAPES is a collection of images taken between July 2009 and July
2010. The photographer used an iphone and daily posted images on
different social networks, contributing to the ever evolving global
visual community. The images, who shows fragments of a life, a memory,
a documentation, then gets a life of it's own as it gets posted
around, commented on, shared, used in the parallel world called the internet.

The project was exhibited at Asymmetric Arts in Rockland, Maine, this

summer and the book SHAPES was published to accompany the exhibit. The
book can be purchased on BLURB:
