It is extremely rare that we look over a portfolio and are completely lost for words. In our eyes, Camilla Åkrans is an artist in the purest form, her medium being photography and film, and her specialist subject – femininity.

Camilla captures images like nobody else. There is energy yet stillness in her work; poetry and colour; empowerment yet vulnerability; each executed to the highest level, and each image telling its own story.

In her own words: “I’m trying to depict a thought. I portray women the way that I myself would like to be perceived. I want to be seen in every aspect of my being. The beautiful as well as the thorny, and the rough. Women are a little like flowers.”

Her philosophy is articulated in her favourite quote from Anne Brontë.

“But he who dares not grasp the thorn should never crave the rose.”
