SHE HUNTS
«Before my very first moose hunt, I was nervous. In fact, I hoped to never even see a moose. Then I wouldn´t have to make the decision to pull the trigger. When I eventually shot my first one last fall, I was surprised by my own determination. I charged my weapon, found a good shooting position, aimed, and fired. Completely focused. But I totally lost it afterwards.»
This project started with me seeing a photograph of a friend on facebook. She stood widelegged over a large reindeer buck she just had shot and killed, on a mountain plateau several hours walk into the wilderness. She was heavily pregnant. This image prowerfully challenged my perception of women's identity. I therefore set off on an exploration to understand what it means to be a woman hunter.
She Hunts is a documentary photo project made according to photojournalist standard. It has been exhibited widely in Norway and abroad. Art prints are available for purchase, please email for inquiries.
