KRISTOFFER GRINDHEIM Words: Sebastian Strand Images: Kristoffer Grindheim
I recently had the chance to have a conversation with Kristoffer Grindheim, an emerging Director of Photography in Norway. Kristoffer has a background in music, but always knew he wanted to work with films. Over the last few years, he’s had the chance to work on high-end car commercials, award-winning music videos, and is currently chasing the dream of a feature film. It’s a chilly autumn afternoon when I open up my Zoom account to start the meeting. Before this conversation, in an attempt to do some background research, I started where all millennials would start. His social media accounts. What struck me with @kristoffergrindheim’s Instagram profile were the tasteful thumbnails of cinematiclooking posts. A lot of his content is portrait-based. Not in terms of the aspect ratios of the frames, but in terms of his subjects. People of all ages and backgrounds fill the Posts grid. A URL in his bio sends me to his Vimeo profile. As I flick through some of the insanely professionally-looking commercials and films, I see accolades in the comment fields from people all over the world.
