PHOTOGRAPHER 
INGEBORG REFSNES 

Ingeborg Løvdal Refsnes (1975) is a talented Norwegian journalist with nearly two decades of experience, mostly in the genre of documentary. Transitioning into photography at 30, she added an independent visual language to her curiosity for human experience.

Closer to 40 she moved with her husband and young children from the vibrant city of Trondheim to, for them,  an unknown village placed along fjords and mountains at the rough coast of Norway.  She  established the innovative bureau  "REF." with the vision to transform anonymous interior landscapes into inspiring spaces bringing people together through visual storytelling.

Refsnes received great rewards for her aspiring entrepreneurship but this journey took a profound turn when she encountered a significant health challenge . This experience led not only to the loss of her great capacity for work, but also to her well-known ability to stay vividly present among others. 
She was cut off from her  rich recourses for years. In her later recovery she has found her camera essential and is entering the art scene with a  depth to be noticed . Her visual work seek to capture the essence of human existence, reflecting echos of  vulnerability, joy, and struggle.
