Fotografen Michael Damsgaard

As a specialist portrait photographer in Herning, I focus on creating honest, professional portraits that reflect both personality and professionalism. My name is Michael Damsgaard and I have worked in photography since training as an advertising photographer in 1984. My experience gives me the calm and technical skill to guide you and your colleagues through a portrait session so the result is natural and highly usable in professional contexts. My approach is built on simplicity: I use the studio's natural north light and a calm, dialogue-based method to find the nuances that make a portrait unique. The studio is located in an old automobile workshop with a raw retro style, offering opportunities for both classic and more characterful images. I offer both studio sessions and mobile studio setups, so we can take corporate headshots at your workplace or in a controlled studio environment as needed. When businesses choose me for staff photos or LinkedIn images, they get a partner who understands how to create consistent, professional portraits that work across websites, internal communications and social media. I prioritise creating a relaxed atmosphere in front of the camera—my strength is talking to all kinds of people and building trust so even those unfamiliar with being photographed feel natural and confident. The process is simple and collaborative: before the session we discuss purpose, style and usage; on the day I create a calm atmosphere and guide posture and expression; afterwards I deliver professional files ready for both web and print. I care about details and quality and I don’t finish until you are satisfied. In addition to portrait and corporate photography, I occasionally produce product images, wedding photography and video recordings as a supplement to my main focus. However, my core competence is portrait photography—where I combine decades of experience, technical assurance and a warm, human approach to create portraits that work.
