Nicoline at Niloka is a portrait photographer in Aarhus, specialising in natural, timeless portraits and professional corporate images. Calm, secure settings, an unpolished style and personal guidance.
As a portrait photographer in Aarhus, I (Nicoline Lodahl Karlsen) focus on creating portraits that feel genuine and enduring. With more than 10 years of experience, I combine a calm, conversation-based approach with an unpolished photographic style, so both private clients and businesses receive portraits with a timeless, authentic expression. Why choose Niloka for portrait photography? Because I prioritise a safe, attentive atmosphere. I know the best portraits appear when the subject feels relaxed — so every collaboration begins with a conversation about expectations, style and intended use (for example LinkedIn, website or your family wall). My emphasis is on personal expression: not the forced smile, but the subtle moments and nuances that reveal who you are. Specialisation and applications I specialise in portraits for both private clients and businesses. For companies I deliver professional corporate images and employee headshots for use on LinkedIn, websites and internal profiles — images that communicate both competence and personality. At the same time I create natural individual and family photography, where presence and mood are central. Working method and process Sessions take place in calm, reassuring surroundings — either in my photo studio in the heart of Aarhus C or on location if you prefer natural environments. The studio is spacious (250 m²) and equipped with several backdrops, softboxes and flash units, allowing us to tailor light and environment precisely to the visual direction. During the session I guide gently so even those unused to being in front of the camera feel comfortable. Afterwards I edit the images with respect for the unpolished style — retouching where necessary, but always prioritising authenticity. My mission is simple: to deliver portraits that stand the test of time — both honest personal portraits and strong corporate images, created in Aarhus with warmth, professionalism and attention to detail. If you want to talk about a portrait photography project, I look forward to hearing about your wishes and finding the right approach together.
