Elmer Laahne was born in 1969 in Norway, he works as a freelance stills photographer creating images for organizations, corporations and book publishers. He works extensively with his own photographic projects.

Since his early youth he has photographed, landscapes people, and objects. His inspiration comes from the love of nature and the pioneering landscape photographers such as Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. Hyper realism and also surrealism, shape his other artistic creations, by combing many layers and photos into one image, sometimes building and painting props to merge them into the final image. To tell a story, subtly. He has received national and international awards for his photo work.
