Interview
What is your name, occupation, and where do you live?
My name is Rune and I'm a Norwegian photographer, model and content creator living in Helsinki, Finland.
Where were you born and raised?
In Harstad, Norway. Just a bit above the arctic circle. It's beautiful up there with the midnight sun for a few months during summer, and with the northern lights during winter.

Rune has mixed a muted outfit, wearing our timeless long-sleeved T-shirt made of 100% soft cotton. It is available in a wide range of colours. Rune has styled it with our classic half-zip sweater in a comfortable viscose blend, accentuating the detail with the buttons on the long-sleeved T-shirt.
Rune has added our 5-pocket trousers, crafted with the unique Cashmere Touch treatment. They are made of 97% cotton and 3% elastane, providing you with maximum performance for a busy everyday life and weekend excursions.
What motivated you to move to Finland?
After traveling around Asia, Australia and Europe for about 6 years with my wife, we decided to settle down. First we tried Oslo for a year, but then decided to move to Helsinki as we had more family ties here than we did in Oslo, as I'm from the north.
What is your go-to spot?
It depends on what occasion, but I do like to spend time in nature, either with the kids or going to shoot some smaller projects, and we have quite a few close to our home luckily.
How did your interest in photography and content creation start?
I was always interested in photography, and growing up was the kid with the camera taking pictures of all his friends. I never pursued it in any way though, and it wasn't until after I started as a model when I was 25 that I reignited that spark within me as I met so many different kinds of photographers and realized all the things I could actually do with photography. When I was traveling and was a model full time I was also active on Instagram. My Instagram profile suddenly grew a lot, and social media marketing became a thing, turning out to be the perfect combination of being a photographer and a model. I shoot a lot of my projects by myself with my trusty tripod, but I also use an assistant from time to time.

Rune is wearing our exclusive knit made of 100% Australian merino wool, which is extremely soft, temperature-regulating, odor-resistant, and breathable. The knit is available in several colours and is paired with a pair of minimalist black jeans.
Then social media marketing became a thing, and it just turned out to be the perfect combination of being a photographer and a model.

What is a must-have in your wardrobe?
I would say some good basics that I can use with many different looks and outfits.
Why did you choose these Lindbergh outfits?
First off there's the merino sweater. I love knits, and merino is a great material and I wear it a lot during winter especially. Then there's the 3/4 zip which I have seen around a lot lately, and as I didn't have one myself yet I wanted to give it a try. The suit will be my new Christmas suit, which will be nice.

Rune has chosen our luxurious Technical Suit for Christmas gatherings, produced in a modern fit that offers a more relaxed fit and silhouette. The suit is manufactured in Portugal and crafted from a quality blend of wool and Cordura for unparalleled comfort. It is stain-resistant, wrinkle-free, and highly breathable.
Rune has paired it with a classic Oxford Shirt, providing a more laid-back vibe and creating a tasteful contrast to the elegant suit.
