About Artist
Jan-Tore Oevrevik
Hello! I'm Jan-Tore Oevrevik, known as JT, or Jan-Tore Øvrevik in Norwegian. As a Norwegian-American photographer, my passion for capturing life's moments sparked in 1998 in a makeshift darkroom in my bathroom. This early exploration in a local photography course opened a world of endless photographic possibilities. My journey has been richly shared with my wife, Ambreen, my steadfast partner and source of inspiration. Together, we've traversed diverse landscapes, from tranquil natural scenes to bustling urban environments, capturing the essence of each place. Ambreen's unwavering support during our travels has been instrumental in bringing depth to my photography. Photography for me is a unique blend of personal expression and capturing the world's diverse stories. Along the way, I've been fortunate to meet and befriend incredible photographers, each sharing their unique perspectives and enriching my approach to photography. My camera and I have been lucky enough to earn some applause along the way, including the "Discovery of the Year" from reFocus, a bronze from the Fine Art Photography Awards, multiple Platinum and Gold awards from the Muse Photography Awards, Category Winner of the Year Award from London Photography Awards, double Category Winner of the Year from the Global Photography Awards, and the "Best Artist Fall 2022" from Photoserge Academy. My photographs have danced on the walls of galleries like the Valid World Hall Gallery in Barcelona, Galerie Gora in Montreal, Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago, Art Market Budapest, Matca Space for Photography in Hanoi, Almanaque fotográfica in Mexico City, and Glasgow Gallery of Photography. They've also graced the pages of publications like Dodho, Digital Photographer Magazine, NOIR International Photo Magazine, UCP Magazine, and Digital Camera World, sharing our adventures with the world.
