Henriette Sagfjord was born in Trondheim on January 23rd, 1997.
Suffering from depression at an early age, she found photography and self-portraiture to help express herself and be open about her mental health.
Playing with lighting and narratives, her photos are emblematic of a lonely dreamlike world.
She is an official Leica ambassador, making artwork and always seeking to find creative ways in portraying what’s in front of her. Looking for details and capturing more than the eye can see, especially when it comes to portraits, street, fashion and music photography.
Henriette has a way of seeing and always seeking to capture the obscure, unnatural moments that creates curiosity and eagerness to understand the whole picture.
She finds inspiration in nature and music, to reinterpret her surroundings and disconnect from the world.
She is currently based in Oslo, Norway.

On street photography
I've always loved shooting street, but since staged photography is my passion it's a real treat to combine them. In this video I explain how I think when I'm out shooting, while demonstrating with a model. The video was made as a teaser for my upcoming workshop on staged street photography.
