A little about me

I have always known that I am a creative soul, so all my teachers have told me as I failed in every class but art. With a South African art teacher as a mother and a Norwegian photographer for a father there has always been a creative flow in our home. At the age of 19 I started studying photography at OsloFotoKunst skole in Oslo where I was free to develop my own scenes of style, after 2 years I went to BilderNordic school of photography to learn more about technique and studio work. In 2023 I started an internship at Heartbreak Management as an in-house photographer where I later got the title of head of «art department» 

In the autumn of 2025 I became a freelancer and have been working on my own since. I do a mix between commercial work and fine art. 

Two of my works were displayed in the old Deichman library for Oslo Negativ show in 2021, I had my project «Anti-Masculine», a series for photography shown in KOSK art gallery where I sold a work to The Royale House of Norway. My work is a contrast between beauty and pain, a hidden agenda. I started in a commercial setting but with the years have found joy in anti AI works like documentary photography, hand made work with vibrant colors and meaningful, lasting impact.
