Tormod's journey into art began with a childhood dream of photographing skis. The dream led him to Chamonix, where he first stood behind the camera, but soon found himself captivated by the mountain's steep lines. Through expeditions and lectures for businesses, the Norwegian Armed Forces, and NATO, he has lived closely with the mountains for decades. After Everest, new projects followed – including becoming the first Nordic climber to summit all 82 peaks above 4000 meters in the Alps.
