There is so much to say about Ellen, it is hard to know where to start.

JUST TURNING 30, she has traveled the world teaching yoga at retreat centers, and spends as much time in India and Australia as she does at home in her native Norway. She has been collaborating with numerous photographers for a number of years and is always pushing at the boundaries trying to achieve something extra, something beyond the ordinary.

Petter Hegre managed to catch up with her last time he was in Oslo and she went up to Stavanger for two sessions. Ellen is super strong, yoga slim and delicately muscled. More than any other model, she likes to find the most surreal and abstract positions and, needless to say, when she's not teaching and practicing yoga, her hobby is painting.

What does she paint? Abstract nudes usually.
