Send us Fan Mail
Heidi is the founder of Women of Paris; the first Paris walking tour devoted entirely to women's history and influence. She is also a Londoner who loves the adventure of living in Paris. She is passionate about history, the arts, and women's empowerment and is inspired everyday living in such a culturally rich city. She has travelled to 6 different continents and lived in West Africa (where she says, the cheese is not as good as in Paris!) and taught English to some of the poorest children in the world, but now she is happy to call Paris her home. She has been a professional guide in Paris for nearly years and loves to meet people from all over the world and show them the best the city has to offer. In her spare time she likes to cycle, do yoga and hunt for the perfect tarte au citron.

May 17, 2023 EP 320: Photographer who loses her sight finds new creative vision: Tonje Thoresen
Send us Fan Mail
Tonje Thoresen
Photographer
Tonje is a storyteller. She has always explored ways to present multiple sides of objects or people, and photography naturally became her vocation.
'For me every moment has a value – and only a photo can immortalize that – it will tell you more about a person or a moment than a dozen words can. '
She was born and educated in Norway and moved to Berlin to study art and fashion at the Lette Verein. After completing her diploma Tonje moved to Paris, where she worked as an illustrator for the couture houses and young avant garde designers of the time. During this time Tonje also became a fashion model for Dior, Chanel, Carven and L’Oreal.
Her experience in the visual and aesthetic worlds of art and fashion sparked Tonje’s interest in photography, and her experience in front of the camera became a valuable asset. She specialized in portraiture, undertaking projects for public figures and individuals while establishing a recognisable personal style.
‘I love to take pictures of people - to show them what they can give, to bring out the character and natural attraction in every person and to tell their story’

As a photoreporter Tonje became a regular at the Paris Fashion weeks working both backstage and front of house for the Couture and Pret à Porter collections. She also covered political events and debates – as well as sporting events such as the French Open Roland Garros tennis tournament, where she shot both matches and interviews with the athletes.
Tonje Thoresen lives in Paris with her daughter.
