women intheir own light
An ongoing portrait project about women daring to dream. Each session starts with one question: if you zoom out, what would you truly dream of? Photographed across LA, Copenhagen, Oslo, Amsterdam and London since 2024.

I dream of a wild girls' trip with my closest friends to the most beautiful place in the world, full of laughter and feeling free.
Amy, Amsterdam 2025
Let everything happen to me, beauty and terror. Life, show me how good it can get — and let me learn Spanish.
Lola, London 2026
I dream of creating a life that feels completely like my own, where I can be creative, free and happy.
Alberte, Copenhagen
I dream of a life where I can fully stand in my power, without dimming myself, where I get to create and translate inspiring stories, and share my creativity on every stage, in every form that fits me.
Kai, Amsterdam 2025
Life is not a strawberry, it's not sweet and not easy. But you make it work
Mylena, Copenhagen 2025
Now I dream for my daughter, that she knows what she wants, what she stands for, and believes she can do anything.
Sanne, Amsterdam 2025
I dream of creating a life that’s outside the box. It may not look traditional, or ideal, but a beautiful one full of art, depth, vibrancy, and love
Alissa, Los Angeles 2024
My biggest dream would still be for the war in Ukraine to end, to know my family is safe, and to see them again.
Anastasiia, Copenhagen 2025
I dream of becoming the woman my younger self always believed I could be, a woman who leaves every place, and every person, with a little more light than she found them.
