Christer Norden, born in northern Sweden, settled in the United States over twenty years ago. Boston, Massachusetts became Mr. Norden's first home in the US and he eventually moved to the exciting entertainment capital Los Angeles. After several trips to northern California, Christer yearned for the wide openness and splendor of Yosemite. He eventually settled there in the late 1990s fulfilling his creative desire to be one with this magnificent nature.

The great photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, and Lennart Nilsson have greatly influenced his artistic eye to capture human beauty and nature at the same time. Of these great camera artists Christer says:

"Not only their end result is admirable, but their dedication and strive for perfection, which is elusive and one never attains. To be able to capture those fleeting moments, that glimpse of something special, is what drives my photography."

Christer Norden's inherent ability for composition, his respect for and integration of nature into the pictures he captures sets him apart from the ordinary. He is highly sought after to create Fine Art pieces for collectors, Wedding and Special Occasion Photography, as well creating Fashion portfolios for aspiring models.
