Håkon Borgen
My name is Håkon Borgen (b. 1993), and I am an award-winning photographer based in Ørland Municipality, near Trondheim, Norway.
I specialize in creating timeless, crafted imagery that combines a deep appreciation for photography’s history with a contemporary approach. My personal projects often take the form of long-term visual narratives, with the ultimate goal of publishing them as books.
In addition to my personal work, I collaborate with magazines, brands, and businesses on commissioned projects, with a focus on architecture, interiors, and design. My approach is rooted in storytelling and a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every image aligns with the client’s vision while maintaining my signature style.
