Fredrik Olastuen – the man behind plane’s photo

As you know – the plane picture used on not the final cover of the Roxette’s forthcoming “T2 – Tourism 2” album was taken by Norwegian photographer Fredrik Olastuen. Who is he – you may ask.

Here’s the little piece of information he publishes on his Flickr page.

26 years old, living in Jessheim, Akershus, Norway.

Work in the videoconferencing industry, certified on Tandberg equipment. When not on work, I spend most of my time as a hobby-/freelance-photographer.

I do mostly sports and concert foto, but experiencing with all kind of genres.

I have always been interested in photo, but it really startet to evolve when I bought my first DSLR. Now I’m almost only shooting with my Canon Powershot G10, but it’s still a lot of fun and I like to experience with motives and techniques.

My main goal is to have fun and take nice pictures of my life and surroundings, and experience while having fun. If you like my photos, that’s a nice bonus 🙂

If you want to follow my updates, you can add me as a contact here on Flickr or on Twitter where I will post every time I publish new photos.
