About

Bjørn-Henrik Lybeck (b. 1985) is a visual artist based in Oslo, working with photography and artist books. He received his MFA from Bergen Academy of Arts and Design in 2015 and has since participated in international book fairs and exhibitions. His practice is deeply influenced by the traditions of straight photography and post-war photojournalism. Employing a formal and unstaged style, he carries this legacy into contemporary practice. In addition to his artistic practice, he works as a senior adviser for FFF - The Norwegian Association for Fine Art Photographers.
