About

Josefine Amalie.

I dream of a world where we meet each other with respect, trust, and loving curiosity - a world where we celebrate our differences and care for one another, ourselves, and our planet.

A world where we dare to be ourselves, believe, dream, and feel. A world where there is room for the whole person and where our differences have equal value.

I want to help create that world through my pictures, words, and presence. Many of my projects focus on what connects us, where our differences lie, and how we can cultivate a more loving relationship with ourselves, each other, and the Earth.

I believe that when we encounter others, either in real life or through art, we have the chance to create dialogue, expand our perspectives, raise awareness, reflect inwardly, and build bridges with one another.

When I portray people, I intend to capture an authentic, honest, and loving representation of the individual in front of me. I achieve this by following my intuition, being present in the moment, and feeling the energy of the person and the surroundings.

I strive to create a space, both visually and emotionally, where the person I am portraying feels safe to lower their guard and reveal their true selves.

I work with individuals, groups, organizations, and companies that wish to use portraits to tell authentic, honest, and loving stories - stories that aim to bring more light, love, and community into the world.
