“At the age of 19 I packed a small backpack and an Instamatic camera and left Norway to go travelling around the world in search of a greater purpose," explains Vegar Abelsnes. "From exploring, experiencing, seeing, and tasting much of what the world has to offer, I gravitated towards a desire to photograph. Photography became a true passion in my life. It is not only a profession, but also a vocation and an avocation.”

Vegar is a global photographer who is based out of New York and Oslo. He currently resides in Connecticut with his wife and two small children.
