About Vegard

Vegard Aasen is a Norwegian photographer and filmmaker, driven by a passion to explore and capture the extraordinary interactions between humans and nature, as well as remarkable moments with wildlife. Since his teenage years, skiing and climbing have deepened his connection to the outdoors and honed his ability to seize compelling moments in nature.

In 2016, Vegard founded Veri Media, initially focusing on commercial films and photos. As his skills and interests evolved, so did the focus of Veri Media, transitioning to larger-scale documentary productions and major photography projects like "Light Lines" and "The SOS Project." These projects showcase Vegard's commitment to storytelling that highlights the beauty and challenges of our environment.

Vegard meticulously plans each photograph to go beyond mere aesthetics. Whether capturing the vastness of landscapes or the intimate details of wildlife, he aims to reveal his subjects' true character and essence. His approach not only captures images but also weaves stories that foster a deeper understanding and connection between the viewer and the subject.

Recognized for his dedication and talent, Vegard has received several awards, including Red Bull Illume, Siena International Photo Awards, and was named Norwegian Nature Photographer of the Year in 2020. Beyond these honors, he is committed to using his work to raise awareness and promote action towards environmental conservation.
