My name is Bengt Sigve, I am 62 years old and a portrait photographer based in Randaberg in Norway.

I am very grateful for this opportunity to present some of my work in the ABRA magazine.

For the last 8-9 years I have specialized in close-up portraits. With the images I present, I want to give viewers a visual experience and narrative so that they begin to study the images even more.

Photography has simply become a very big passion for me. Being able to express yourself, be creative, create something, as well as delight so many people with your photos is a great gift in itself. In addition,

I meet so many incredibly beautiful and lovely people, from all walks of life and nationalities, and each one of them has their own personality and story that I try to implement in the pictures. I have specialized in close-up portraits, that is: facial expressions and use of hand/arm to enhance the various expressions.

I want to convey joy, sadness, hurt, fragility, beauty, sensuality, etc..., capture the human soul and adapt a perfect lighting that gives the image a natural and interesting result.

I am inspired by ordinary people I meet or cross paths with, there are also extremely many skilled photographers and models both amateurs and professionals in the world who give me inspiration. But as I mostly shoot close-up portraits, the artistic inspiration and ideas come naturally during planning and preparation for the upcoming photo shoot with the model(s).

From time to time the model/s also come up with suggestions from someone they have been inspired by, then we try to put our own twist and put our own distinctive touch on it.

Each photoshoot is always a small project in itself. Planning and preparatory work regarding which type of poses/expressions best suit the model, type of outfit and colors, various accessories, which backgrounds and which type of lighting, etc...

However, it happens that unexpected situations turn out to be very interesting. For me, it is important that the studio is set up and prepared according to plan, as well as testing the lighting before the model(s) arrive. This is very important to me as I do not edit the images afterwards with Photoshop or Lightroom.

I use a bit of different equipment in the studio and on location, here are my favorites.:

In Studio.: Camera body.: Nikon D850 Lenses.: Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm F/2.8E ED VR and Nikkor AF-S 85mm F/1.4G

On Location.: Camera body.: Nikon Z9 Lenses.: Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm F/2.8G ED VR II, Nikkor AF-S 200mm F/2G ED VR II and Sigma DG 105mm F/1.4mm HSM Art Both in the Studio and on Location, I always use different Studio strobe models from Profoto as well as different types of Softbox, Reflector and Umbrella.
