A Reflection on the Journey Between Soul and Science
Interview Featured in PARSFORTE Magazine
I’m honored to share that an in-depth interview with me has been published in the latest issue of the renowned art magazine PARSFORTE.
In this conversation, I reflect on my artistic journey, the emotions behind my lens, and the quiet philosophy that shapes my photographic work.
It’s a glimpse into the soul of my images and the stories they strive to tell.
A Cultural Portrait Project by Utāb Studio
Norge, innenfra
"Norge, innenfra" is an evolving portrait and storytelling project documenting the people whose knowledge, care, craft, creativity and commitment help shape Norway today. The first chapter begins in Hamar — through a series of intimate portraits and personal stories about identity, belonging and contribution.
The World Behind Utāb Studio
The Artist Behind the Utāb Studio was shaped through the meeting of two worlds — science and soul, precision and presence, ancient poetic sensitivity and Scandinavian stillness.
With a background in biotechnology and a deep connection to visual storytelling, Neda approaches portraiture as more than image-making alone. Light becomes a language for emotion, identity, memory, and human connection.
Inspired by both the quiet minimalism of the North and the timeless depth of ancient artistic traditions, each experience is created with intention, atmosphere, and emotional awareness — allowing portraiture to become something slower, softer, and more reflective.
At the heart of the portal is a simple belief:
that being truly seen can itself become a transformative experience...
Where Light Meets the Human Story
The Principles Behind Every Portrait
The quiet principles behind every portrait, every connection, and every story
Quiet Presence
We believe in showing up gently.
Before the lens, we listen. We hold space. Not everything asks to be posed—some things simply want to be seen.
Creativity
To create is not just to decorate. It’s to shape light into memory, stillness into truth. Every frame is a bridge between what’s felt and what’s found.
Thoughtful Quality
We take our time. Not to perfect—but to honor. The beauty is already there. We just make space for it to breathe.
Soul over Noise
We don’t chase attention. We follow resonance. If an image lingers quietly, we’ve done our work.
Connection
No two stories are alike. We approach each person as a world, not a subject. Care is not a feature—it’s the foundation.
Inner Innovation
We don’t invent to impress. We explore to understand. Innovation, for us, is not in chasing the new—but in finding honest ways to translate silence, light, and feeling into something that can be held. A new method. A new voice. A new way to remember.
Honest Making
We don’t create to impress. We create to reflect. Each image begins with truth—not perfection, but presence.
Life Is A Canvas, Paint It As You Want...
The philosophy of Utāb Studio
You Are Like An Entire Universe...
Three Perspectives on Light, Identity, and Presence
Live
You begin in stillness.
Before the image, before the light —
there is only presence.
A moment untouched,
where nothing is asked of you,
and everything already exists.
Light
Between what is felt
and what becomes visible,
there is a threshold.
A space where light opens,
and something within you
begins to unfold.
Legacy
What emerges is not accidental.
Light is guided,
form is refined,
and every detail is held with care.
So what is true
can finally be seen.
Guidance, Lightly Given

Absolutely. Every image we deliver is carefully edited — not to perfect you, but to honor the mood, the tone, and the quiet truth of the moment.
