Espen Olsen, a Norwegian cinematographer, has over 12 years of experience in film, with a focus on fashion in recent years. His work has taken him to stunning locations worldwide, from the bustling streets of Hong Kong and the rich landscapes of Colombia to the serene beaches of Lofoten and the snowy mountaintops of Norway. Across these diverse environments, Espen strives to highlight the unique beauty of fashion through film.
Espen often collaborates with renowned fashion stills photographers, such as Fred Jonny and Cathrine Wessel, finding it fascinating to blend the worlds of photography and film. These collaborations bring out the best in both mediums, creating dynamic results that enhance the storytelling aspect of fashion shoots.
While he often incorporates handheld shots and natural light, Espen tailors his approach to fit the vision of each project. His success comes from the collaboration between talented models, skilled crews, and a well-planned idea, ensuring that every shoot reaches its full potential.
Espen continues to build his portfolio by working on new and exciting fashion projects, always aiming to deliver visuals that connect with audiences and reflect the essence of style. In December 2023, Espen signed a deal with Asian producer and agent David Attali to be represented throughout Asia, expanding his reach in the film industry.
