Tine shares how her career began through assisting photographer Robin Skjoldborg before finding her own artistic direction at Fatamorgana Fotoskole. Since then, she has built a practice that moves between portraiture, editorial work and personal art projects.

Rather than separating the commercial from the artistic, Tine sees the two as closely connected. Her work is driven by curiosity, long-term inspiration and the relationships she builds with the people she photographs.

The conversation also touches on creative process, trust in portrait photography and the value of working within a community while maintaining space for personal projects.
