About Stig Marlon Weston

Weston has worked with cameraless and experimental photography in the darkroom for more than 20 years. Parallel to his career as a commercial photographer he has pursued his interest in the medium itself and the way we use it to interpret, organize and explain the world around us. Combining these interests Weston creates photo projects that are beautiful and unique but also challenges the viewer´s perception of photography and the way they look at the world.

His cameraless photographs have been represented at the annual state arts exhibition in Norway and at the Norwegian national museum of photography´s summer festival. As well as being awarded international prizes land been exhibited abroad in New York, London and Berlin.
