Honorable Mention / 2017 / Portraiture / Culture

From the North

My photographs mirrors the expressive and beautiful. But also
fragility. As a nerve underlying the motive. I hold a certain ability
to give my photographs soul. To me, photographing is about
seeing – not only with the eyes but also with my heart. This is
when the real stories reveals. I can’t explain why my photos are as
they are: dark, expressive, full of emotion. I think it has to do with
the grandeur of what seems so clear, with everything we’ve seen
and experienced, and which imprint itself within us as small
images: a rich inner landscape.

International acclaimed art photographer, specialized in fineart and portraiture.
As an artist, Tina thinks of herself first and foremost as Nordic. From the beginning, clearly recognizable Nordic aesthetics have lived and breathed in her work. Her work contains and depends on elements of naturalism. Beyond the natural world, she finds particular inspiration from old master painters. Along with this, she often uses museums and historical houses from the 19th century as a ground for her mesmerizing portraits. At the same time her work is up to date in its simplicity and Minimalism.
