Karina Twiss is a photographer and filmmaker based between London, Paris and Norway.
Born and raised on the coast of Norway, Karina grew up close to nature, inspiring her early passion for visual arts and the environment. With a Visual Communication degree Karina worked as Sølve Sundsbø’s 1st assistant before embarking on her own career and now has over a decades worth of experience working with editorial and advertising clients. These include M & C Saatchi, Net a Porter, Refinery29, Space NK and Cartier and editorial stories in Elle, Le Figaro, Conde Nast Traveller, Porter and Y magazine.
With a passion for travel and close ties to South East Asia, Karina spent two years in Indonesia focusing on the natural beauty of the islands and a series of portraits featured in Dazed Beauty and Vogue Beauty. She is continuously working on personal projects which have been featured in editorial platforms such as French Vogue, Luxx Magazine and Atmos as well as a portrait series of artists and creatives such as Charles Jeffrey, Tim Blanks and Tracey Emin.
Karina uses her strong technical skills to create a spontaneous and expressive portrayal of her subjects. A distinctive, feminine and evocative focus on women defines much of her work, both personal and commercial. In addition to her photography practice, Karina is an Associate Lecturer at London College of Fashion UAL, where she shares her expertise and passion with emerging talents in the industry.
Karina supports EQUAL LENS a non-profit organisation that promotes women and non-binary photographers.
