director & photographer
now: Tromsø, Norway │ available: worldwide
I tell stories through images. Sometimes they move at 24 frames per second. Sometimes they just hold still.
Hey, I'm Andie. I'm a film director and photographer now based in Tromsø, Norway. I call this city home now, but my journey started way before the polar nights and midnight suns. I started getting invested in filmmaking in the early years of high school with a handycam, my grandparents, and no real plan. I got my first Best Film award at 18, then my European debut came in Paris in 2017, and a few years later my short film swapID screened at the Marché du Film at Cannes, won Best Film in the Netherlands, and picked up Best Production Design at Filmapalooza in Lisbon.
Between my own projects I've worked on some of the bigger productions of the last decade: DUNE: Part Two with Legendary Pictures, Shadow and Bone seasons 1 and 2 and The King with Netflix, HALO with Amblin and Microsoft, and FBI: International with Universal Content Productions. I've assisted BAFTA and Emmy nominated director Jeremy Webb, known for The Last of Us and Downton Abbey. I've worked alongside Bola Ogun and Otto Bathurst too.
Large productions teach you something film school doesn't. Storytelling at scale is mostly about making the right call fast, with half the information you'd want and no room to second-guess it. Less about inspiration, but more about precision.
That's in everything I make now.
Photography stayed with me through all of it, quietly. Film needs money, crew, schedules, a hundred decisions made by people other than you. Photography needs a camera and something to say. That simplicity is why I kept coming back to it: a creative outlet that was entirely mine. I was also shortlisted as a personal photographer for the Abu Dhabi royal family, which is either the most glamorous thing on my CV or the most surreal, depending on the day.
Over the years I've shot in Morocco, Abu Dhabi, New York, Switzerland, Croatia, and across the Arctic. Some of those trips were work. Most were deliberate. I began travelling for two reasons: to widen my life and understand myself better outside the contexts that shaped me, and to widen the pool of experiences I can actually draw from in my creative work. I have been, and will remain available worldwide. In 2023 I photographed Borrowed Bodies with the DOPEA Collective, an exhibition about what happens to identity when a body becomes a surface for other people's expectations. It ran at FUGA Budapest in 2024 and ended up in the Hungarian edition of the GLAMOUR book in 2025.
The medium has never been the point. Film and photography are just two different ways of answering the same question:
how can we make the invisible visible?

Since returning seriously to photography in 2022 I've worked across portrait, editorial, lifestyle, event, and commercial photography, from the Sahara to the Arctic Circle. The range is not accidental. I travel the way I work: looking for what only exists in that specific place, under those specific conditions, with that specific person in front of me.
Sometimes I direct, sometimes I document. The distinction matters less than people think. What I am always doing though, is paying attention fully, with wide-eyed curiosity, to whoever or whatever is in front of me. Years of crossing borders, not as a tourist but as someone building a wider vocabulary of human experience, sharpened that instinct considerably. After all, you can only meaningfully photograph what you understand.
I have yet to understand everything, so I keep going.
