TONJE LILLEÅS

CONTENT CREATOR

I'm a creator in my forties currently based in the Norwegian town of Hamar. Here I live with my wife and our two boys. I grew up among fjords and mountains in the north-western part of Norway, but never really recognized the amazingly beautiful surroundings before I'd moved away and came back to visit. Through my creative work I try to offer moments of both adventure and solitude to help people remember to breathe and enjoy life. I'm an Exotek ambassador, and I'm always ready for a demo ride. Make sure to contact either me or Exotek if you're interested in trying out the ExoQuad for yourself. It's really reinventing freedom for everyone with (or without) mobility issues.

WE ARE ALL INFLUENCED BY OTHERS IN THE WAY WE WORK CREATIVELY, SO IN A SENSE NO-ONE IS TRULY UNIQUE.

MY WAY

BEHIND THE SCENES

. . .

PHOTO

I’m mainly an outdoor lifestyle and landscape photographer. When I feel the drive and inspiration to create and capture, I’m in my favorite state of mind.

When shooting a landscape I try to make it reflect my emotional landscape as I shoot. I don’t bother too much about things being technically perfect. I find more interest in caring about the mood and the feeling that I want to communicate. This means that my landscapes are not always balanced, not always sharp and not always perfectly exposed. But it also means that the flaws that I choose to show are intentional parts of what I create.

It’s difficult to catch someones attention in the over saturated media world we’re surrounded by. I find that a lot of the time people end up trying to speak louder and faster than everyone else through their creations. This easily becomes too busy, and leaves little time to reflect on what the message of the creative work is. What do we want people to be left with after having seen something we create?

My videos aim at lowering the pace. Not in a way that makes them boring, but in a way that leaves room for my viewer to think, reflect and breathe. Just like with my images I’m not so concerned about the technical perfection if it doesn’t help the story. Sometimes technical perfection kills the mood. For me it’s story first, mood second. And then the right level of technical perfection to suit the story and mood last.

IT'S ALL ABOUT CREATING AND CONVEYING A MOOD. TO GET THE VIEWER TO A PLACE WHERE THEY ACTUALLY CAN EXPERIENCE HOW IT FELT TO BE IN THE MOMENT YOU'RE SHOWING THEM.
