Naina Helén Jåma is a South Sámi photojournalist, photographer and visual storyteller based in Oslo, Norway.

Working across documentary photography, journalism and long-form visual projects, she explores themes of heritage, belonging, identity and the relationship between people, culture and land.

Rooted in both contemporary documentation and Indigenous perspectives, her work often examines how knowledge, traditions and memory are carried forward between generations.

Through portraits, reportage and personal visual narratives, she seeks to understand how people navigate change while remaining connected to place and community.

Her photographs have been published by The New York Times, The Guardian, VG, Aftonbladet, Svenska Dagbladet, HuffPost and other Nordic and international publications.

She has worked as a photojournalist and photo editor for leading Scandinavian news organisations, received a working grant from the Saami Council, and is a member of the Sami Artist Association.

Currently, she is developing long-form projects investigating the concept of cultural heritage and the evolving legacy of Sámi culture, while continuing her editorial and documentary practice as a journalist in Norways largest newspaper, VG.
