I’ve been holding onto this special moment for a while, waiting for just the right time to share it with you all. Back in April 2025, I met someone truly unique whose story stayed with me ever since. I knew this moment had to align with something bigger I’ve been preparing for all of you wonderful souls who’ve been supporting the D·Moment journey. Very soon, I’ll be launching something I’ve poured so much heart into, something to honor those beautiful souls who may seem ordinary on the outside, but carry extraordinary stories within. Stories that connect us, inspire us, and remind us of the raw beauty of simply being human 💛 Can you imagine what it might be? Drop your guesses in the comments 💬 Stay tuned... more details coming soon. 🌿 Crew: @Vanita #photography #purpose #people #dmoment

When she said “I’m too old to be photographed” my heart went like 💔😭 #photography #purpose #people #dmoment

Unusual? Yes. Epic? On a whole other level 😍 She was the fusion of a Norse legend and an African queen, a beauty of nature forged from two mighty worlds. BTS @Vanita @Sagastad #photography #purpose #portraitphotography #people

I can’t believe I met him, photographed him, and only realized who he was later when I got home and looked him up online 😱 This was D•Moment with Yuk JunSeo the Korean Actor 🤯 #photography #purpose #people #celebrity #dmoment

She is gorgeous and she is spreading just art with love 💛 This was D•Moment with Fereshteh 🙏🏻 #photography #purpose #people #story #dmoment

Having that humor and fun at the age of 92?! Simply beautiful 👏🏻💛 Thisbwas D•Moment with Oddny! #photography #purpose #people #story #dmoment

There’s something about this kind of style that always fascinates me 🔥 That 1800s vibe 🕰️ pipe, pocket watch, sailor hat, it’s rare and full of soul. I wish more people brought this kind of style back. This was D•Moment of Jim captured with 📸 Canon R5 Mark 2 + lens 35mm f1.4 Crew: @Vanita @canonusa #photography #purpose #people #dmoment #story

This was D•Moment with Tove in Svalbard 😍 #photography #purpose #people #dmoment #portrait

The moment I met Kristian, I instantly felt his bright, smiley attitude light up the space around him. There was this vibrant sense of adventure in the way he spoke, full of positive energy that made every part of his story so pleasant to hear. It quickly became clear why he runs such a cool company like Oslo Fjord Sightseeing, someone like him naturally passes that spark to the boats he shows and the experiences he creates. No wonder every passenger, whether tourist or local, steps on board and feels at ease, connecting, smiling, and sharing moments like old friends. His energy sets the perfect vibe for the sea adventures he offers 💛 Crew: @Vanita @VisitOSLO #photography #purpose #people #story #dmoment #norway

Martins blew my mind that day. After we wrapped the shoot, he went straight into pulling a 16-ton Viking ship. The strength, the focus, the pure power… insane stuff. You’re a beast, dude! 💪🏻🔥 @MARTINS LICIS BTS @Vanita @Sagastad #photography #purpose #portraitphotography #people #dmoment

I felt so bad I scared her approaching in that way 😅, she was probably full deep in her thoughts, but I really loved the interaction at the end and how she felt more comfortable to spend sometime with me 🙏🏻💛 This was D•Moment with Charlotte 📸 #photography #purpose #people #dmoment #story

One of those rare, once-in-a-lifetime moments I’ll never forget. Being invited backstage into the grand opera house and capturing photos right there on the big stage felt like pure magic. And the best part? Sharing this moment with Nae @Nae Nishimura , one of the kindest, most graceful ballerinas I’ve met on this photography journey. I’m so happy to see her dreams coming true… she truly shines like a star right here on earth 🩰✨ Crew: @Vanita @VisitOSLO #photography #purpose #people #story #dmoment #norway #ballerina

While I was strolling through the stunning park of Kistefos Museum, soaking in the art and the calm nature all around, I had the joy of meeting Ingrid. Her beautiful energy and warm smile instantly lit up the space and made the whole day feel special. Watching her move so gracefully with those silk fans, it was like she became part of the landscape, blending perfectly with the sculptures, the water, and the gentle breeze. There was such a natural synergy between her flow and the surroundings; it honestly felt magical. I truly recommend you guys to visit that park, and if you get the chance to meet Ingrid, don’t miss it. You definitely won’t regret it.

Sometimes your passion really can take you to the Top. And that’s exactly the case with Ahmad, who I literally met at The Top Restaurant in RadissonBlu Oslo Plaza, where the view was just breathtaking, but the chef was the real star. Our food was just as great as the good-looking chef who made it. Thank you, Ahmad, for the amazing experience and for the time you spent with us!

This was one of the sweetest moments I’ve ever captured. I met Mary, though I always called her the Lady in Red. She was this incredibly lovely older woman with the kindest manners and a colorful outfit that just lit up the scene. 💛 These photos take me right back to when I first picked up a camera and started my photography journey in Australia (in 2020) 🙏🏻 Sadly, Mary passed away in 2022 🥹, but this photo keeps her memory alive. She lives on through these moments we froze in time. We’ll love you forever, Mary, and never forget you ❤️ #photography #purpose #people #story #dmoment

In that moment, beauty wasn’t about makeup, it was just her being her. @tineandreaa How about you, do you feel more yourself with a touch of makeup, or do you love keeping it simple? Let me know in the comments! 💬 BTS: @Vanita #photography #purpose #people #dmoment

She was skeptical and yet beautiful to me 😍 I'm so glad she allowed me to show her how l portrayed her 💛 This was D• Moment with Catherine. Crew: @Vanita #photography #purpose #people #dmoment

This Holy Man in Kathmandu was on another level 🔥 So grateful I made it 😮‍💨🙏🏻 #photography #purpose #people #dmoment #nepal

Meet Matthias, a talented and incredibly professional chef 👨🏼‍🍳 I met in Oslo. He introduced me to a hidden gem of a restaurant where he works, an amazing spot with a tragic past. The place had burned down completely, but thanks to people like him who truly believed in its comeback, it was rebuilt and is now thriving again. The view from there? Absolutely unreal. 🙌🏻 Have you ever been here? Check out Festningen Restaurant and save the location for next time and you may meet lovely people like him around here. Crew: @Vanita @VisitOSLO

Felt so lucky and grateful, Kristina was really sweet to let me capture her and her husky, Tequila 💛 You’ve gotta check out their café if ever in Svalbard! #photography #purpose #people #dogs #dmoment
