The Studio

A quiet room, full of light.

Northlight is a 60 m² daylight studio behind a courtyard in Kreuzberg — four-metre north-facing windows, nine seamless paper rolls, and a small strobe and tungsten kit for when the sky won’t cooperate.

It was founded in 2015 by Ines Halvorsen, a Norwegian photographer who started in reportage before settling into portraits. Her way of working is unhurried: few frames, real conversation, and light that does most of the talking.
