Morten Bjarnhof Copenhagen advertising photographers


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.
 

Dennis Stenild Copenhagen fashion photographers


Dennis Stenild is a playful soul with a soft spot for the energy in melancholic moods and timeless moments, people and places.

His clients include Fjords, Client Magazine, DV, German Playboy, SMUG, Squint Hommes, Euroman, Eurowoman, Costume, Arena, Qvest and DANSK.

 

Lukas Renlund Copenhagen advertising photographers


Lukas Renlund enjoys challenging the eye and first perceptions of his audience. He is inspired not only by the history of photography but equally by graphic elements, film, painting, and surrealistic art. In many ways, Lukas' work lies at the intersection of fashion and art photography. 

A number of his series first published in magazines have ended up on gallery walls. For Lukas, there is no clear distinction between his own art and commercial projects. His most recent joint exhibition 'Fashion Photography - Tradition or Invention' - hosted by Preus, the National Museum of Photography in Norway - opened in the spring. He currently lives in Copenhagen and works throughout Scandinavia.

 

Joshua Hodge Copenhagen advertising photographers


Josh Hodge is a people and lifestyle photographer based in Europe. He specialises in location photography, shooting regularly across Europe, Australia and South Africa. A former architect student and creative director at a leading image bureau, Josh landed on photography as a natural coming together of passions, following some strong mentorship from some of the most influential photographers in the world.

Mikkel Adsbol Copenhagen food & drink photographers


Mikkel Adsbol has been a photographer for 12 years. He has a great passion for food and living.

"Food is an amazing field to work in, because food speaks to several senses at once," he confirms. "The ultimate challenge is to shoot food in a way that almost brings the aromas out in the picture; after all, a food shot is never just a food shot. Food is about pleasure, social relations, mouth-watering delights and energy for the body. It's great to work within such a life-affirming area.

"Lifestyle is exciting because the challenge lies in creating rooms. Rooms the way they look. Rooms the way they might look. Rooms as rooms within a room. Lifestyle is so much more than white walls and four-legged chairs. It is also a mood. A composition that has to strike a balance through the dedicated teamwork of stylists, craftspeople and designers to achieve the best possible result. Lifestyle is about creating moods that inspire, provoke and take things to a new place."

 

Nicolai Alexander Copenhagen fashion photographers


Nicolai Alexander has been working primarily with fashion and editorial clients over the past year.

"Work and life moved me from the safety of home in Aarhus to a more dynamic role in the world that is Danish fashion," says Nicolai. "I have had the opportunity to make a massive impact on our editorial markets, and with about 20 scheduled productions around the world, this next year will be even more eventful than the last."

"I moved my main focus from a commercial perspective to a more balanced expression of aesthetics, and brought in the styling team much earlier in our productions. Our clients and viewers seem to really take on board our inspiration and ideas which makes this an amazing, energetic part of my career and personal life." 

 

Hanne Paludan Kristensen Copenhagen fashion photographers


"Even though I’ve been taking photographs since I was a young girl, it never really crossed my mind that I should be a photographer. I wanted to become a comedian, and actually I did, but I was really lazy when it came to writing the material so I quit.

"I became a firefighter instead, but I drew more and more attention to my photographs and realised I had to just 'try it out'. Before I knew it, 10 years had gone by.

"I get my inspiration everywhere I go. Hardly a day passes when I don’t come across someone, something, or some place I just have to shoot. When I get ideas or assignments I dream about them at night; I visualise the lighting, the colours, the mood and the feeling. I wake up eager to make it all happen, just the way I saw it in my dream.

"I like putting it this way: My images are my dreams coming true."

Hanne is currently seeking representation in London, Milan, Dubai, New York, Chicago, Beijing, Germany and Sweden.
