Stig Eklund

Stig Eklund's urban photography seems to be pure documentary, opening a distant eye onto his lonely subjects. Eklund's camera lingers on the darkened but captivating details of the city, transforming its citizens into murky denizens while heightening their ethereal demeanors.

His camera style is so strong that it can even shroud a street lamp, so that, instead of light, it seemingly emits darkness and shadows. His vision drapes geometrically, clashing urban beauty with the sooty persona of a Norwegian artist who spends much of the year in a glowering twilight.

Eklund was born in Bergen, Norway in 1978. He lives and works outside Oslo.
