Specialized portrait photographer in Ballerup. Mai Vanilli captures natural, personal portraits and professional business portraits with calm, presence and a focus on your story.
Photographer Mai Vanilli is a specialised portrait photographer based in Ballerup, focused on creating portraits that show the honest, recognisable version of you. With a calm and attentive approach, Mai seeks out small expressions and moments that feel genuine rather than staged — images that work just as well for private use as they do for professional profiles. Her portrait photography is built on simplicity of composition, careful attention to light, and a conversation-based working method. Mai creates a safe, relaxed atmosphere where even the most camera-shy people feel at ease. The result is natural portraits that prioritise personality over artificial posing — photographs that remain relevant and true over time. As a specialist in portrait work, Mai also offers business portraits and LinkedIn photos, emphasising a professional and credible impression. She knows how small adjustments in posture, gaze and lighting can change a portrait’s message so you appear both competent and approachable. The professional images are tailored to your industry and the impression you want to convey — from quiet authority to warm accessibility. The process is simple and personal: a short conversation to align expectations, guidance before and during the shoot, and a focus on creating a relaxed experience. Mai values dialogue and collaboration so you feel seen and understood, and the images reflect your personality. She works with care on details such as body language, clothing choices and background, so each portrait tells its own story. In addition to individual portraits, Mai offers family portraits as part of her core services — always with the same emphasis on authenticity and presence. Her driving motivation is to create timeless images that feel true to the people in front of the camera. Would you like a portrait that is both professional and personal?
