Being a portrait photographer and making the perfect portrait photo is an art in itself. Capturing the essence of a person in your camera. Getting the personality to shine through is a masterpiece, regardless of whether you are the familiar face or a passer-by on the street who is not used to being in front of a camera.
When I shoot portraits, it is my most important task to capture the essence of the person in front of me, with aesthetics and grace.

My work process as a portrait photographer
We start with an initial conversation over the phone or email, where we clarify practical details such as wishes, time, place and clothing. The photo session takes place in my studio, but I can also come out to a desired address with studio setup for a separate agreement and additional cost.
On arrival at the studio, we go through the clothes you have brought and choose the best looks, while you can check your hair and makeup. During the photo session, I help you quickly relax so that your personality and energy shine through in the photos.
We review the images live on screen during the shoot so we can quickly see what works best and adjust as needed. You mark your favorites along the way, and based on these, you choose the final images to be edited from home. Your selected images are then sent to a professional retoucher who naturally refines details such as wounds, blemishes and stubble to create a perfect final result.
Next, I send the files to you in digital form, in both web and print resolution, but also in TIFF format, so that you always have the large files for graphic work

A professional portrait image has high value and can be used in many different situations where you want to show the best side of yourself. Regardless of whether it is in professional or private contexts, you can wish for a skilled photographer to take some great professional photos that can be used for years to come.
I can easily understand that it can feel intimidating and that you get out of your comfort zone by having to stand in front of a camera. In those situations, I help you to relax so that you get the best and most authentic photos of yourself that you can proudly show off.
Together we find out which expression and atmosphere you want your portrait photo to reflect, so we hit the nail on the head.
I do a lot of press work for well-known Denmark, such as Christiane Schaumburg-Müller, Martin Brygmann, Thure Lindhardt, Saseline, Cisilia, Maria Lucia, Szhirley, Paw Henriksen and many others. Every time I take pictures of one of the "famous faces" I see the person - not their celebrity.
The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is very telling, as we communicate more visually in the modern world. A good picture can therefore be worth its weight in gold when you want to get your message across.
When choosing your future photographer, choose based on taste and with your heart/gut. It is important that you like the work the photographer does, but it is AT LEAST equally important that you feel safe and in good hands, because that is reflected in the end result. So with the right choice of a professional portrait photographer where chemistry plays, you can be sure to end up with a portrait photo with soul and depth that you will want to use in numerous contexts.
I photograph in my own photo studio in Copenhagen, but also drive out by separate agreement.
