Morten Bjarnhof was born in 1951 north of Copenhagen into a family of Danish and Norwegian writers, painters and sculptors.

Morten creates rooms of presence. His photos are invitations to step inside, take part or lose oneself. There are no empty postulates, and in a world of purchased and paid for, this makes all the difference.

“I always try to keep the light as it is," he says. "If I must use artificial light, I will make it look as if it fell through a door or a window. It is an old journalistic habit of a kind, to add nothing and make a loyal account. Let your motif breathe, and give reality a chance to shine through.”

Early in his career, Morten became an established name in editorial and commercial fashion photography, which has led to a succession of jobs for international brands such as Diesel, Ecco, Gant and H&M. Simultaneously, he has completed advertising photography for clients including Bang & Olufsen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Egon Gade works out of Copenhagen for Danish and Scandinavian design companies. International design icons such as Bang & Olufsen, Fritz Hansen, Georg Jensen, Royal Copenhagen, Danfoss and Montana are among some of his clients.

Simplicity best describes Egon's pictures. For eight years he has been studying new concepts for portrait photography and came up with an idea to shoot portraits for the theatre.

Egon was commissioned by The Royal Danish Theatre to take 61 portraits of the entire cast and drama department in the theatre’s 2011-12 repertoire. It took a year to complete and the portraits were exhibited in the waterfront foyer at the The Royal Danish Playhouse.

With over 15 years experience, Anders Bergh combines a natural intuition and keen eye to create the substance of a picture. Bergh says the creative process is a journey from an inspired idea, to the creation of raw picture material to detailed refining work in post production.

Bergh's work extends from still life, landscapes and portraits, to both stylized and natural pictures taken in studios and on location. He works on individual assignments as well as with large brands.

With a background in art, Kenneth Øksnebjerg has developed a clear aesthetic in his fashion and beauty photography, ranging from strong studio shots to almost ethereal location stories. These are perfectly paired with a portfolio of architectural studies that show his eye for lines and compositions - a portfolio that keeps expanding, with shots from around the world.

One of Kenneth’s trademarks is his ability to achieve a perfect but natural looking finish, which is evident in every job he does - an outstanding talent.

His client list includes New York Magazine, Elle Denmark, Acne Production, Anne Vest, Costume and Apair, among others.

After 10 years in the fashion world working as a model and make-up artist, Anya Poulsen finally picked up the camera and something magical happened; all of her creative sides finally came together and a strong passion for photography was born.

With a love for the 70s era and fashion in general, Anya creates beautiful images with a distinctive notion of light, ease and sexiness. She dwells with the beauty of always getting a strong and powerful energy into her images.

Her inspiration comes from the Californian sun, the history and culture of Europe, art deco, the ocean and strong personalities.

Anya shoots for international fashion magazines as well as brands including Only, Object, Pandora, Provider, Sofie Schnoor, Vero Moda, Valencia and Shoemart.

In the past year she became Editor-in-Chief of her own creative fashion paper, BWatt Magazine. An international paper with photography, art, music, creative people and celebrities, the title is packed with eye candy for everyone to enjoy.

With inspiration from music, literature and movies, Max Rosborg's images contain their own unique poetry. From the understated and romantic to the tense and dramatic, there is a nerve in every image; a pulse that gives the viewer a feeling of being present in the scene.

Max has a background in the music industry but started assisting photographers around the world. Realising that the "language" in photography and music was the same, a creative playground developed.
