Jo Bentdal

Photographer

To constantly evolve, take real pictures, and respond to the world around me without making the process of me photographing the center of attention for the people involved.

All the pictures on my portfolio are taken since october 2009 - most of them since april 2010 (evryting exept the Marrakech stuff), with a full time job as a brand strategist in a design agency as my main occuopation. Since september 2010 I travel and shoot full time - to make sure I evolve as much as possible, and have a great time too. (I will also do brand strategy/ web consultancy assignments if something interesting comes up).
