Nordic Light Festval of Photography was started the Autumn of 2006 with Morten Krogvold as Artistic Director and Anne Lise Flavic as the Program Director. She has participated in the organization of three successful festivals since then, with well know photograpers as James Nachtwey, Don McCullin, Martin Parr, Sarah Moon og William Klein giving speaches and workshops.
Anne Lise has a special gift in convincing photographers to participate in this young photo festival. Martin Parr was promised to see a whale, which he did see, however on a plate, luckily Mr. Parr has a good sense of humour. Other have understood that it is much easier to say yes, and give their speaches and workshops, than to convince Anne Lise that they don\'t have the time or opportunity to be there.
In addition to the above mention photographers, Anne Lise has managed to convince among others the following to give their speaches and exhibitions Bruce Barnbaum, Georgia Fiorio, Bruce Guilden, Pieter ten Hoopen, Matt Mahurin, Arno Minkinen, Johan Brun, Cahtrine Wessel, Mikkel McAlinden, Leif Preus, Heidi Wexelsen Goksøyr; Rolf M. Aagard and Jonas Bendiksen.
All the photographers leave Kristiansund being very glad they came, and are excellent testimonials for the festival.
