This is most likely by the 60s Swedish studio FotoGrafo, but I can't be 100% sure.

Tore Lind - attributed to FotoGrafo

Browsing through some unlabeled scans from "Tiger" #2 I found these early shots of the popular Tore Lind. Models and photographers are unattributed in the magazine, but most of the images are clearly from the Scandinavian studio FotoGrafo (the distinctive sailor cap is a dead giveaway). Tore would have some wonderful shots taken by Walter Kundzicz/Champion in the early/mid 60s, but I think these were taken before Walter's.

A little something for Tor --

I'm sorry to say that I am unaware of any photographers from Norway. However, your next-door neighbor, Sweden, has produced a few studios -- "Stan of Sweden," "Sven Swede," and the more well-known (but sadly anonymous) "Foto Grafo." Little is known about any of these photographers, apart from their post office boxes. If there were some physique photographers from Norway, I'd love to find out about them!

(I did have a huge crush on Norway's Gunnar Rosbo back around 1980!)

A great big bruiser from Sweden!

Hans Olof P. by Foto Grafo

Foto Grafo was a studio based in Sweden and was fairly prolific in the early/mid-60s. The unknown man behind the camera had a thing for sailors (or, at least, men in sailor drag). The two best known models from the studio were Tore Lind and Per Taboldy. A hallmark of the Foto Grafo studio was that most of the photos were nudes -- remember, it was from Europe that the "nudist" craze (and magazines) came from, which would help to finally make nude images in the US legal...

The back of these two photos had the studio's address as well as the model's name stamped on it. Would any Swedish visitors know what the "P." would be short for?
