klik2travel's latest collaboration recently came to fruition through the recommendation of a mutual friend. Bjørn Lødøen is a talented writer and photographer from Norway who has a passion for travel.
To find out a bit more about the man behind the beautiful Essaouira video let's get the background to Bjørn in his own words: "I got my first camera when I was 10 and since then photography has been my main hobby. At first I mostly shot family pictures and have continued doing that, but soon found out that shooting pictures was much more than that. I have been writing articles for magazines and newspapers, but mainly doing stories for Travel magazines. I was also lucky enough to be working abroad for 11 years, in Antwerp, Yokohama and New York, which gave me the opportunity to get images from this cities and countries. Later on I have been travelling most of the world, except for South America and and Australia. My camera is always with me and is my best friend.
I have probably worn out approx. 10 Canons during the last 40 years. Entering into the digital world of photography was a great challenge and now being retired I have quite a job of digitizing the best of more than 5000 slides from these years. I love my Pixma 980, which is a great multiprinter. I must admit I am not fond of manipulating photos. A picture should in my opinion show the real world.
Besides shooting pictures from places I have travelled to, I also try to focus on different themes, like museums ( ecsp. maritime museums) , ships, people and antiques. And... having photography as your main interest, you will never get into the problem of buying a present for someone, because a nice picture is something people always like to hang on the wall. Besides, you will leave a true documentation of your life to your family when you sometime have to enter your last travel from this world.
Just now I enjoy working with klik2travel. It gives you a tough challenge to tell people about interesting places to go to."
We are thrilled about having Bjørn on board!
