Eli Johanne Steen

Eli Johanne Stene’s connection to photography began in childhood, shaped by the glow of her father’s darkroom and the influence of an uncle who worked as a professional fashion photographer. Although a camera was always close at hand, it was during the pandemic years that her interest blossomed into a true passion. Today, as a member of Bekkalokket Photographic Club, she explores a wide range of subjects through her lens. Drawn especially to people and animals, she seeks to capture fleeting expressions, untold stories and the subtle moods that give a moment its character. Her inspiration is found everywhere, from the familiar beauty of her own garden to the lives and quiet stories of people and animals she encounters on her travels.
