Colours of the moon The backdrop for this series is the beautiful moon-like landscape of Hardangervidda in Norway (the largest mountain plateau of its kind in Europe) which she began photographing after she started snow kiting. Charlotte´s interest in kiting and her relationship with nature has been a therapeutic journey which has been as much about fear as it has about joy. As a seven year old child, her first ever sailing trip turned into a terrifying experience after her boat capsized. It would take several years before she decided to venture out onto the water again. She experienced the same terrifying fear once more, this time attached to a kite. Stormy weather and a rookie error resulted in the wind grabbing the kite and pulling her along at high speed. This time she reacted differently and felt that she took back the control she once lost. Control against the forces of nature and the paralysing fear she had felt as a child on the boat. Her respect and humility for nature’s power is the starting point for this series that has been created over four years. As a photographer, she is no longer a participant, but an observer of the play from the outside. When she steps away from the scene and views it at a distance, the play along with the weather turns into a surreal observation of reality and the kites suddenly become little puppets merging into a colorful dance with nature.

As a visual storyteller, I approach photography with a deep reverence for the beauty and complexity of the world around us. Since 2007, I’ve had the privilege of capturing fleeting moments and preserving them in a way that allows others to see the world through my eyes—through both the intimacy of personal experience and the lens of broader social and environmental issues. With two bachelor’s degrees from the Queensland College of Art in Australia, my practice is grounded in a formal understanding of composition, light, and design. However, my true passion lies in exploring the emotional and narrative potential of each image. My work spans a wide spectrum, from commercial projects to intimate portrayals of Norwegian celebrities, yet it is the personal projects that resonate most deeply with me. These works have found their way into exhibitions in Oslo, London, and New York, where I aim to evoke a sense of reflection and connection in the viewer. At the heart of my photography is an exploration of the relationship between people and their environments. Whether capturing the quiet beauty of a shared moment between individuals or highlighting the fragile beauty of nature, I strive to bring attention to the often overlooked details of our daily lives. In a world that frequently leans into negativity, my work is a celebration of the positive—the subtle, fleeting moments that remind us of the beauty we must preserve, both within ourselves and in the world around us. In addition to the contemplative and serious aspects of my practice, I also seek out humor in everyday life. I believe that life, with all its challenges, is also filled with moments of joy and absurdity—if you know where to look. Finding humor in the ordinary is, for me, a way to appreciate life’s lighter side and remind us that, even in the most unexpected places, there is room for laughter. Through my work, I aim to inspire a renewed appreciation for the moments and spaces that shape our lives, whether they are poignant, humorous, or quietly beautiful. I hope to encourage a mindful reflection on the impact we have on the world and one another, while also celebrating the joy that comes from seeing the humor and lightness in the everyday.
