Astrid Hernholm is a Norwegian documentary photographer and visual storyteller working between Mexico and Norway. Her long-term projects unfold across the borderlands of Latin America, where she explores life at the margins—communities in transition, in struggle, and in deep connection. Her work often centers on Indigenous cultures, migration, and the complex circumstances that define daily experience.

Holding a photography education from Oslo Photoartschool and the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, along with a degree in social anthropology from the University of Oslo, Astrid brings an interdisciplinary approach to her practice. Her storytelling is slow and immersive, built on long periods of fieldwork and close collaboration with the communities she documents.

Her projects span from the sacred mountains of the Sierra Nevada in Colombia and the lush depths of the Amazon to the landscape of the Sonoran Desert. Through photography and text she tells layered stories of intergenerational knowledge, spiritual lineage, and the resilience of living in close relationship with nature—or within concrete landscapes
