LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHER SIGURD LØSETH

Having lived in Inderøy all his life, Sigurd appreciates being close to the water and has never thought about moving. A typical workday for him at Trønder-Avisa involves giving clients good advice and helping them achieve their goals. Sigurd shared with Localfolk that he enjoys his job and is very happy with his team.

When Sigurd is not at work, he may be found flying his drone or capturing moments with his camera. He uses the DJI Mavic Air 2 and the Nikon Z6, and edits his photos in Adobe Lightroom, usually with his own presets. As for lenses, Sigurd shoots with anything from 14mm to 200mm for landscape photography, though the 35mm Sigma Art F1.4 is his favorite.

Sigurd’s interest in photography started with his good friend Christian Trustrup. “He helped me a lot with editing methods and ideas that made me want to do photography even more.” Sigurd admires Christian’s style and loves all the trips that photography takes him on.

Right now, he is dreaming of going to the Faroe Islands and looks forward to visiting more exotic places in the future.

While he is more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it, he recognises the value in pushing himself outside of his comfort zone. “As with everything else, practice makes you better.” As an ambassador for Tuftewear, Sigurd practices getting in front of the camera regularly. It gives him an extra reason to get out there, he says.

When asked to share what he loves about Trondheim, Sigurd spoke of the size of the city, the charming neighborhoods, and the hospitable people. He likes to photograph all the shapes and colors of the wharfs and recommends a visit to Munkholmen on a warm summer day. His favorite season for photography is autumn, with all the beautiful colors and crisp, moody weather.

Sigurd’s advice to aspiring photographers would be to start with basic equipment and work your way up. “When your gear is stopping you from progress, it’s a perfect time to upgrade.”

Buying used gear is often a good alternative, since it’s usually well taken care of and priced very fairly. He adds that YouTube is a great resource for learning techniques.

One of Sigurd’s most memorable photos is a drone photo from Reine in Lofoten. He recalls driving for hours in stormy weather when the sky suddenly cleared and a massive rainbow formed. He felt so stressed to get the photo before the stormy weather returned. “Probably not my best photo, but everything around it made it special for me.”
