Studio Skadi

In the old tongue, Skadi is the goddess of the mountains, the winter, and the wilderness. She is a figure of fierce independence, a huntress who chooses her own path and thrives in the raw elements.

I chose the name Studio Skadi because it represents the spirit of our move from the flatlands of the Netherlands to the forests of Hadeland, Norway. It is a name that honors the "Old Ways": a time when humanity lived in rhythm with Mother Nature, and when "vision" meant more than just seeing, it meant understanding the landscape and the soul within it.

About the founder

Anna

Visual Communication Specialist | Bachelor of Arts

I'm a Dutch-born documentary and portrait photographer of 28 years old. My work is driven by a deep, human curiosity: I am fascinated by what moves people and how we connect with one another.

I specialize in capturing authentic, natural moments with an intuitive and observant style. Whether documenting a wedding, an event, or an outdoor portrait session, I focus on the genuine emotions that emerge when people feel free to move and be themselves. Aside from the fact that my work flourishes in the outdoors, I also have a portable studio. Here we can create professional business portraits, product photo's or other studio work.

Beyond my camera lens, I bring a strategic background in visual communication and employer branding from my experience with the Royal Netherlands Army. This allows me to help businesses create comprehensive visual libraries, editorial portraits, and creative strategies that translate their core values into a compelling narrative.

I live by the motto: "I have never tried that before, so I think I should definitely be able to do that". This energy defines my approach to every project, blending professional decisiveness with a positive, solution-oriented mindset. When I am not working, you will find me exploring the Norwegian wilderness with my husband and son, diving into a good -probably fantasy- book as a burrito blanked on the couch with our two cats, enjoying the local sports scene or create some made-from-scratch meals.
