Norwegian by birth, Morten came to Vancouver in 2002 to pursue a career in whatever fit his fancy. A philosopher by education he’s worn many hats, from professional politician to jeweller to TV producer to published writer. Right now his title is Creative Director of Pink & Yellow Media, but his true passion lies in trying to capture and communicate emotion through media; and for that the camera is a great tool. The Vancouver Photo Marathon is Morten’s brainchild though with the addition of the rest of the team it has grown into so much more.
