[edit] Biography
Hegre studied at the Brooks Institute of Photography in California and worked in New York with Richard Avedon before returning to his native Norway. He received the "Photographer of the Year 2001" award at the 8th annual 'Erotic prizes' in London. He went on to publish six books and have his work exhibited internationally.
Hegre-Art, his official website, was launched in 2002 as Hegre-Archives. It underwent a substantial redesign in December 2005, coinciding with the name change.[1] Hegre is married to model Luba Shumeyko and they divide their time between a villa set in the Algarve, Portugal and an atelier in Paris.
[edit] Photography
In 2002, Grigori Galitsin launched the website galitsin-archives.com with the assistance of his wife Irina Aleksandrovna Pischasova (originally a MET model known as "Valentina"), a joint project with Hegre. Due to a conflict, Galitsin established his exclusive website galitsin-news.com in 2004, with the former domain confiscated by Hegre. Galitsin explained the matter in a letter to his subscribers. The two also discussed their breakup publicly in the comments section at an adult review site.
On 5 August 2004, Global Media Publishing and Petter Hegre announce the publication of: HEGRE: The New Nude - No. 1 Autumn 2004. This erotic art photography print magazine would be relaunched as The New Nude in the summer of 2005, with Hegre as the creative director and chief photographer.
