editorial portrait photography | reimagined

in Älmhult, Sweden & Copenhagen, Denmark

“I booked the shoot for a practical reason: I needed new images to accompany my meditations on Insight Timer. But what happened that day was more than a photoshoot.

This year held a lot of change.  Stepping in front of a camera in the middle of that felt… tender. Like standing in daylight without armour.

What made it not only possible but genuinely beautiful was Sissela’s presence.
She has a rare gift for holding space - calm, grounded, deeply respectful. With her, I could soften. I could breathe. I could stop performing and simply be. I didn’t feel “posed.” I felt seen.

So if you’re in a new chapter - or if you’re longing for photos that capture not just how you look, but something true about who you are - I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Sissela."

“I had my photos taken as part of her water pictures. She made me feel safe and secure in a bold setting, her instructions were precise, and the result was amazing. Women in water often end up as Ophelia in pictures - weak and suffering - she made me strong."

Inge-Mette

“Sissela photographs like a mirror of the soul — capturing how I feel when I am alone, without worrying about how I appear or what others might think.

I have never thought of myself as beautiful in the conventional sense. What Sissela sees, and what she makes visible, is something else entirely: the strength, the intensity, the wildness. She doesn’t try to soften it, tame it, or make it more palatable. She allows it to exist fully, honestly, and with dignity.

From the very first time Sissela photographed me, she truly saw me. She has an extraordinary ability to tune into the way I look at the world, and she made me feel so calm in front of the camera that I completely forgot it was even there.

I don’t consider myself photogenic, but in her images, I feel the love I have for myself. What she creates is truly unique. She sees the human being and highlights the beauty that exists simply in being who we are.

Heidi

“The photos that Sissela took of me are exactly what I wanted. I am so happy with them, every single one.

She is just incredibly talented and professional. It was a pleasure to have the photos taken. She was also really good at challenging me in an interesting way. It was absolutely fantastic to receive the photos afterwards.
It has been a really good experience from start to finish. I would really recommend her to others”

Ida

“Having photos taking of Sissela was an amazing experience. She created at very professional and safe environment.

She was able to make me express the emotions I wanted for the photos and I was very pleased with the beautiful photos she made.

Sissela is a true artist whom I for sure will use again and also recommend for others.”

Anna

“I was apprehensive and excited to do a portrait session. Sissela put me instantly at ease from our 1st communication. She took the time to coach me through the process, including choosing clothing that would photograph well. She was patient and gave lots of positioning instructions so she could show my best self and personality. Posing for the most flattering angles is not easy!

It was a very empowering, self-affirming, and soul-filling day. She really connects with her subjects in a way you might not be expecting, and that was a pleasant bonus of the experience. Reviewing the photos blew me away.”

Michelle

“I wish I could give more stars. A joyful experience that resulted in the best images of my life! I started off adult life as an actor, and I've worked with a lot of wonderful photographers in the 20 years since. I've never had images that captured me so fully and phenomenally. My friends and loved ones are freaking out, my partner can't stop peeking at the pics. I came into this session really needing to feel beautiful again, and Sissela absolutely worked with me to make it happen.

The shoot itself was a fun, wonderful experience, and a gift in and of itself. I felt so well looked after, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment. Sissela is a true artist, I'm so glad I spent my birthday shooting with her!”

Rebecca

“A portrait session with Sissela is a must for anyone looking for genuine authenticity in their photos. She is a magician behind the camera and makes you feel safe and comfortable so she can capture the real you without worrying about being over photoshopped. She spends the time to get to know you and understand the image you want to convey. I’ve done multiple shoots with her, and each time she’s captured a different side of me. You will never regret investing in beautiful portraits by Sissela.”

Angela

"Sissela is kind of a holistic photographer with a natural talent to see her clients’ potential and meet their wishes.
She makes you feel relaxed and uplifted, and she knows how to encourage you to let you feel your beauty and inner strength.
Her instructions are clear, and she takes her time to capture that special moment.
As a singer, I have had many different photo shoots, but my session with Sissela was one of my favourites, and the result was perfect, so I can highly recommend her for all occasions."

Nanna

“I discovered Sissela through a friend, and I was so thrilled that I did!
Her artistic eye and natural charm were everything I was looking for in a photographer for my portrait session. After looking through her gallery of images, I just knew that she could capture my personality through her lens. She keeps a sense of realism in her finished product, which I appreciate, and her images tell a story. Every step of her process was professional and thoroughly explained, yet the day was relaxed, exciting and lots of fun!

My images are exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you, Sissela, for your magic touch! I am beyond satisfied!”

Jenn

“Sissela is an awesome photographer. Her professionalism and know-how really makes a wonderful experience especially for the first timer. She is calm and cool and that makes you feel right at home. Just by getting to know you, discussing expectations and walking you through every step of the way puts you at ease and makes it fun!

Her flexibility with location, timing, etc. puts you in the best situation for optimum results.

My portraits came out better than I could have imagined and everyone that sees them calls it my "GQ" collection.”
