Hi, my name is Marta Anna Løvberg. I am a photographer and mixed media artist based in Bodø, Norway. I work with editorials, advertising, documentary, portraits and fine-art photography. No matter the genre though, there is one thing I strive for with my images. Minimalism.

I want to create a place to breathe. In today's visual world, there is so much content, that it is hard to stop and really notice anything. Thus, I am on a mission to produce measured, scarce, tight, subtly inviting, light and vulnerable images that give the viewer a place to rest their eyes. Converting abstract concepts into easily understandable visual narratives is what makes my heart beat faster.

Fotograf Løvberg was established on the 8th of July, 2008, in Oslo, Norway, and relocated to Bodø, Norway in 2020. Member of Norway's Photographer Association and Norwegian Visual Artists Copyright Society (BONO). Certified European Photographer by the Federation of European Professional Photographers. Available for travel worldwide. Let me know if you want to know more.

THROUGH THE NORWEGIAN AIR - PHOTOBOOK

Through the Norwegian Air is a collection of images exploring the Norwegian landscape—quiet at first glance, but on closer inspection revealing an unexpected rhythm of motives, colours, shapes and undefined locations.

• 72 pages printed on 100# (148 gsm) Mohawk Superfine Eggshell archival-quality uncoated paper.

• 45 grainy, strangely unassuming, subtly inviting and light photographs taken in Norway between 2010 and 2021

• See some of the images in this gallery.
