Fotograf Rune Hansen

Photographer Rune Hansen specialises in portrait photography and has worked professionally with portraits since he became self-employed in 1990 after 13 years with Royal Court photographer Rigmor Mydtskov. His long experience gives a calm, confident presence in front of the camera, with the aim of capturing the genuine expression and the simplicity that make each portrait personal and memorable. Rune works with a clear portrait philosophy: respect for the subject, patience and a documentary sense for the moment. This means the images often favour naturalness over staged artifice. He seeks the authentic — the quiet smile, the nuances of the gaze and the small details that together tell a person’s story. His documentary background from assignments for church and humanitarian organisations has given him an eye for people’s dignity in all circumstances, which shapes both studio portraits and location shoots. The process and collaboration are straightforward and attentive. Before a session Rune takes time for a conversation about expectations and the purpose of the images, whether it is a personal portrait, a LinkedIn headshot or a professional corporate portrait. During the shoot he creates a calm atmosphere, guides gently and often lets the natural dynamic produce the best results. Afterwards the images are selected and carefully retouched with respect for the subject’s expression — focusing on timeless quality rather than fleeting trends. Although portraiture is his main focus, Rune also has experience with corporate and documentary assignments for organisations such as DanChurchAid (Folkekirkens Nødhjælp), Danmission and others. These projects confirm his ability to portray people in both private and professional contexts. If you live in Copenhagen and are looking for a portrait photographer who prioritises authenticity, professionalism and respect for the subject, Photographer Rune Hansen offers a calm, experienced and personal approach to portrait photography — from private headshots to professional corporate portraits and LinkedIn photos.
