We are herby happy to present an interview with our twin models Ingrid & Oda Hartmann Bjørndalen. Just turned 17, they both are already quite experienced. 
 

Name and age: Ingrid Hartmann Bjørndalen & Oda Hartmann Bjørndalen (16)

Born in: Copenhagen/ Roskilde, Denmark

Live in: Oslo, Norway

When and why did you decide to become a model?

Ingrid: I became a model about two years ago. It was one of my childhood dreams, so when I first got the opportunity, I couldn’t say no. Modeling seemed very exciting and fun!

Oda: I got the opportunity when I was 14, and it sounded fun, so I said yes.

How did you get discovered?

Ingrid: I sent some pictures of my bedroom to a teen magazine, TOPP. When they came home to me, they said I was very photogenic and that I should consider to become a model. The photographer invited me and my twin sister for a testshoot so we could send some pictures to Heartbreak. After they had received the pictures, we were invited to speak to one of their agents, and then the adventure began.

Oda: Haha that’s a funny story! My twinsister invited TOPP, a teen magazine, to take som pictures of her bedroom. Ida Bjørvik, the photagrapher, and the journalist asked us if we wanted to become models. Ida invited us to a photoshoot and later published one of the photos on her blog. Jonas noticed, and contacted us.

Does your parents or friends give you any advices about the industry?

Ingrid: When I need advice about the industry, I prefer to ask my agency rather than my parents or friends, as they are the experts. But of course my parents and friends give me a few advices as well.

The first time Heartbreak/Pholk called you about a job, how did you feel and react?

Ingrid: I was so excited! Of course I was a little nervous, because I was going to do something I had never done before, alone. 

Oda: I was so exited!! I remember I called my best friend and screamed out. But I was quite nervous as well.

What was your first job, and was it as you expected it to be?

Ingrid: My first job was scary and interesting! I didn’t knew anybody and I was much younger compared to the people I worked with. At that time I was a little bit shy, but now I’m a lot more confident. It took a lot longer time than I expected, but I still had fun because I met so many nice people.

Oda: My first job was the shoot with Ida Bjørvik. I didn’t know anything about the model industry, and expected it to be like ''Top Model''. Since I already had been on a photoshoot before I knew what was going to happen. But I was very exited about the team I was going to work with. I remember the photographer asked me to bring some clothes and I literally brought my whole wardrobe.

Which clients have you worked for?

StyleMag, Morris, Steen & Strøm, Ganni, Nina Jarebrink, Line of Oslo, TSH, Wow Supr, UP, Christina Ledang, Leila Hafzi, Intercoiffure, and Epilogue, to name a few.

What is your dream and goal in the future working as a model?

Ingrid: I want to work hard, so I can become a successful model living in New York. My dream is to travel all around the world. I love to travel and meet new people! 

Oda: My dream is to move to New York or London and work there as a model! It would have been so fun to do the Victoria Secret show, or to be in an Abercrombie and Fitch campaign. Also one of my biggest dreams is to be on the cover of Vogue of course.

Do you have any favorite city you want to visit?

Ingrid: I have seen a lot of the world already, but I haven’t been in New York yet. Cape Town and Buenos Aires sounds fun too!

Oda: I really want to visit Cape Town and New York! I´ve never been there before, but I fell in love with New York in the movies and have been i love with Africa since I was there in 2011.

Do you have any idols or people who inspires you?

Ingrid: I get inspired all the time by the people around me. If I had to choose one idol, it would be Kate Moss. She is herself all the way, and has a really cool style. Her career is amazing and inspiring.

Oda: I don’t have one specific person who inspires me, but I get inspired of the people I surround me with. But I must say that Kate Moss is such an inspiration!

How is your personal style?

Ingrid: I’m a social, energetic and free soul! My friends describes me as an open, weird and confident person.

Oda: That must be 'Into the Wild' and 'LOL'.
