Specialist portrait photographer in Frederiksberg. I deliver authentic portraits and professional LinkedIn headshots, focusing on visual concepts and natural presence to bring out genuine expressions.
I am Amanda Hjernø — a portrait photographer and visual concept developer based in Frederiksberg. With a degree in Visual Communication from DMJX and years of experience across fashion, editorial and commercial projects, I specialise in portrait photography that looks professional and feels honest. Why choose me as your portrait photographer? I combine a sharp aesthetic eye with a practical focus on how the images will be used. Whether you need a strong LinkedIn photo, a classic portrait for editorial use, or corporate and staff portraits, I work purposefully to create images that tell the right story about you and your organisation. My approach is calm, collaborative and concept-driven. I prioritise creating a relaxed atmosphere in front of the camera — this produces natural expressions and genuine presence in the images. Before the shoot we take time for a preshoot and briefing so we agree on tone, wardrobe and context. On set I emphasise clear, fast communication, a safe and spacious environment, and concrete direction so even those nervous about the camera can feel at ease. Technically and creatively, I deliver the full package: from visual concepts and casting to photography, post-production and delivery of files in the formats you need. My core tools are photographic experience, a sensitive understanding of light and colour, and the ability to turn a visual idea into images that perform across digital and print media. Portrait photography is my primary focus, and I also offer consultancy on visual concepts and light video supplements when required.
