Bio

Born in India and shaped by the landscapes of Norway, Vivek's work is driven by a deep connection to the natural world. Most at home in the vast outdoors with a camera in hand, his images are rooted in a desire to capture not only the beauty of nature, but the feeling of being fully present within it. The wild landscapes of Norway represent something increasingly rare in the modern world: space, silence, and authenticity. In a time defined by constant noise and distraction, the Norwegian wilderness offers stillness — and within that stillness, clarity. Towering mountains, remote fjords, Arctic light, and untouched forests have become both his inspiration and creative refuge. Much of his work is created in remote environments, often after long days spent hiking, waiting, and observing. Nature rarely reveals itself immediately; the most meaningful moments come through patience and presence. At its core, his work is about reconnecting with nature in a world that rarely slows down. In his free time he continue to explore the wild and remote corners of Norway and beyond, searching for connection and moments of quiet authenticity.
