Elsa Garmann Andersen (21 November 1891 – 12 September 1964), sometimes referred to as Elsa Garmann-Anderssen, was a Norwegian amateur photographer and active in Bergen's Camera Club in the late 1920s. She was a qualified architect from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology but never practiced her profession, probably due to health problems.[1][2]
Works
Andersen's 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]
