about

Charlotte Sverdrup is a Norwegian-French photographer based in Oslo.

She has been working as a full-time professional photographer since 2007. With two bachelor degrees from Queensland College of Art in Australia, she specialises in environmental portraits and commercial imagery for print and digital media.

Charlotte`s clients range from advertising agencies to airlines. Over the years she has photographed famous actors, TV personalities, politicians, business leaders, movie directors and sportsmen including Mamma Mia actor Stellan Skarsgård, Norway`s former prime minister Erna Solberg and one of Norway’s best loved TV chefs Ingrid Espelid Hovig.

Charlotte`s images are often playful and influenced by natural light and her passion for design and architecture. Her award-winning series "Oslo by night" created for Norwegian outdoor furniture company Vestre, has been published in major architectural and design magazines throughout Europe. 

In addition to her commercial work, Charlotte has worked on fine art projects that have been exhibited in Oslo, London and New York and are sold as corporate and private collections in Norway, France, Belgium, UK and USA.

Fluent in English, French and Norwegian, Charlotte loves to travel and always finds inspiration in the places she visits and the people she meets.
