Street Photography
Vidar Korneliussen, known as Tyheim, is a Norwegian Contemporary Photographer renowned for his stark, unapologetic portraits. His bold and distinctive technique involves an intrusive approach where he strategically uses flash to isolate the subject from the background.
Tyheim gravitates toward the raw, often overlooked faces that populate the streets. Each shot is a bold, confrontational close-up. His portraits are more than images; they are narratives steeped in authenticity, delivering a powerful dose of reality.
Armed with a Leica M11, Tyheim transforms the streets into vivid expressions teeming with raw human emotion and real-life stories.
Black Depression
Work in Progress: Upcoming book
This upcoming photobook features images that provide an in-depth exploration of human behavior in Kensington, Philadelphia—one of the most volatile neighborhoods in the United States. Kensington is grappling with a severe fentanyl crisis, a high rate of homicides, and frequent armed robberies. Many of the individuals portrayed in this collection live on the streets, confronting these harsh and challenging realities each day. Despite these adversities, my goal is to humanize them.
Through my photography, I aim to shed light on their daily struggles, resilience, and the enduring spirit that persists even in the face of hardship.
