JOHNNY NORDSKOG
Sørvær is a little village located at Sørøya, Norway’s 4th largest island. On Christmas Eve 1994 the Russian war-vessel Murmansk hit ground just outside Sørvær. Seventeen years later they are finally in the completion-phase of bringing the ship on land. I initially travelled north to document this work in progress, but became fascinated by this small and isolated fishing society with approximately 200 permanent inhabitants and their relationship to the strong and wild nature, especially the sea.
Born in 1988, Johnny grew up in a small rural village called Harpefoss, in Gudbrandsdalen. Getting to meet new people and having the privilege to tell their story through visual media, is one of the main forces in Johnny’s photography and work. He concentrates on storytelling in documentary photography and works on long-term projects. He graduated from Bilder Nordic School of Photography in the spring of 2011, and now works as a freelance photojournalist based in Oslo.
