Photographer's Profile

Jan-Tore Oevrevik

JTO Photography, United States

Hello! I'm Jan-Tore Oevrevik, known as JT, or Jan-Tore Øvrevik in Norwegian. As a Norwegian-American photographer, my passion for capturing life's moments sparked in 1998 in a makeshift darkroom in my bathroom. This early exploration in a local photography course opened a world of endless photographic possibilities. My journey has been richly shared with my wife, Ambreen, my steadfast partner and source of inspiration. Together, we've traversed diverse landscapes, from tranquil natural scenes to bustling urban environments, capturing the essence of each place. Ambreen's unwavering support during our travels has been instrumental in bringing depth to my photography. Photography for me is a unique blend of personal expression and capturing the world's diverse stories. Along the way, I've been fortunate to meet and befriend incredible photographers, each sharing their unique perspectives and enriching my approach to photography. Throughout my career, I’ve earned several prestigious awards, including "Discovery of the Year" from reFocus, a bronze from the Fine Art Photography Awards, multiple Platinum and Gold awards from the Muse Photography Awards, Category Winner of the Year from the London Photography Awards, and double Category Winner of the Year from the Global Photography Awards. My work has been exhibited in galleries worldwide—from Barcelona to Montreal and Chicago to Budapest—and featured in notable publications like Dodho, Digital Photographer Magazine, and Digital Camera World. Through my lens, I aim to share the myriad stories and scenes of our world, inviting others to see the beauty I find in every frame.
