Works

Andersen range of subjects was landscape, Portrait, architecture, Street photography and still life. Most of all, she photographed the landscape in Hardanger, with which she had a close relationship. She had an uncle who was a district doctor in Lofthus, and she lived in his house every summer. The way she photographed was similar to what was common for amateur photographers in the 1920s and 1930s.[2] The camera clubs had their own aesthetics where they drew inspiration from the art of painting, and left parts of the image blurred and diffused.[3][4]
