My Approach

more than portraits

I create more than portraits; I create experiences. Every session is designed to make you feel confident, comfortable, and celebrated. Before I lift my camera, I take time to understand who you are — your style, your energy, your essence. Then, with patience and creativity, I let your true self unfold in front of the lens.

I don’t chase perfection; I chase truth. Whether it’s the sparkle of laughter, the fire in your gaze, or the elegance of your silence, I capture the details that reveal the star within.

What You Can Expect

trust & authenticity

A personalized experience that truly honors your individuality awaits you. From the very beginning, you are welcomed into a supportive environment where you can feel comfortable, confident, and empowered to simply be yourself. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to reflect not just how you look, but who you are at your core.

Through a creative process built on trust and authenticity, we capture images that go beyond appearance—they reveal your essence. The result is more than just photographs. They are timeless works of art that tell your unique story, celebrate your inner light, and preserve moments you will treasure for a lifetime.

About Elin

Unveiling the Star Within You

My journey began in the world of fashion photography, where glamour, style, and surface beauty often took center stage. But as I worked with models and clients, I realized something deeper — what truly captivated me wasn’t just the clothes or the perfect pose, but the soul shining through the lens.

For me, photography is so much more than what we see on the surface. It’s about uncovering the depth within, the story in the eyes, the quiet strength in a presence, the authenticity in a smile. I believe every person carries a unique light — a brilliance that deserves to be celebrated and remembered. When you step in front of my camera, I don’t just see a client — I see a star. And my mission is to bring that hidden star to life.

Biography

I grew up in Tavelsjö, outside of Umeå in the North of Sweden, with my parents and three younger sisters. Since I was a child, I have always expressed myself through creative and artistic work.

I studied the Social Media Program at Mimerskolan in Umeå. At age 17, I went to New York to do a summer pre-college course in Fashion Design at Pratt Institute. In New York, I got a strong feeling that art is who I am and what I want in the world.

I learned photography at 19 on intuition, which led me to study photography at Parsons School of Design Paris. After two years of study, at age 21, I felt I had gotten the most out of my education, and I got a meeting with the editor-in-chief of French Vogue, who, in turn, hired me as a freelancer. As a photographer, my clients have included Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, Max Factor, Dunhill, and L’Oreal.

As a photographer, my focus has always been on the beauty of the subjects I capture. I love to portray people in their natural beauty and reveal their true selves. I enjoy bringing out the “beauty of the persona” of my subjects, and the energy in their eyes is often one of my signature traits in my photography. With the idea that we are all stars and highlighting each person’s star quality, regardless of their life’s endeavors, I enjoy capturing and showcasing the spirit of my subjects.

MY PHILOSOPHY

True beauty is not confined to appearance. It’s not only in the way you look, but in the way you exist. Every individual has a story, a spark, and a presence that makes them extraordinary. My philosophy is simple: photography should reflect not only how someone looks, but who they are. That’s why I strive to capture authenticity — the unspoken moments, the natural emotions, the quiet truths that reveal inner beauty.
