He has a huge passion for photography and loves to create stories.

Håvard works all over the world and is as comfortable on location as he is in the studio doing complicated set-ups.

Oslo-based portrait photographer, Håvard Schei, likes to put his subjects in a different role than what the everyday brings. "It often puts people at ease. Acting makes people more confident and can give remarkable results."

He did this with his last portrait series of Norwegian director and editor, Lars Sandbakken, all bulit and set up in his own studio in Oslo.

Håvard creates visuals for a variety of clients including recent work for Toyota, DNB, ADAC Magazine Germany and NAPA Greenland, among others.

Håvard Schei is a storyteller and people photographer. He recently finished a project called 'My Oslo', in which he searched for the soul of the city through the stories of the small corner shop and the craftsman. It resulted in a beautiful and strong book, which has put him on the map of Oslo, as a true local.

Håvard says this is one of the more rewarding projects he has ever done. "To be able to tell the unique stories of these hard working craftsmen and portray their everyday was a true honour.”

He works out of his studio in Oslo but loves to travel into the unknown to find new stories to tell. Håvard's assignments are mostly people related and he has shot campaigns for brands such as Coca-Cola and Samsung, among others.
