Kenneth Linge
Education Consultant

Photographing professionally since age seventeen, Kenneth's photographic awards include Norwegian Photographer of the Year, Kodak Gold Awards for the Nordic division, several Scandinavian Fame Portrait "Photographer of the Year" awards, Professional Photographers of America's Masters and Craftsman Degrees as well as Loan Collections prints. Kenneth moved to the United States in 2000, leaving Norway as the 90's most award-winning photographer in Scandinavia.

Kenneth has chaired European judging committees and is a member of the prestigious XXV group, a group of the world's leading speakers and photographers. Kenneth is passionate about teaching and has lectured extensively during the past decade. "Mentoring other motivated photographers is very rewarding. I feel that the benefits from all my hard work are endlessly multiplied when I'm able to help another photographer. We all constantly learn from each other and teaching has taught me to analyze and improve my own work." Last year alone, Kenneth completed five European teaching tours and in 2007 founded the International School of Photography. In 2008 he opened InStudio Photographics Utah's largest Portrait Studio, 8880 Sq Ft. Since moving to the USA in 2000 Kenneth has photographed more then 40 Magazine covers. "My strength is making people look good," explains Kenneth. And with assignments around the world, his clientele back his claim. 

Kenneth's passion for teaching and worldwide reputation as one of the world's best photographers makes him the obvious choice to lead the Education stream for Click and Fresh.
