Studie 57

As a portrait photographer at Studio 57, I specialize in creating portraits that tell a story and reveal the person behind the surface. I am Christian Thøgersen, and my approach is built on calm, human contact and considered use of light — I work purposefully to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so authentic moments and expressions can emerge. My work takes place in a large, modern photo studio set in a quiet rural location near Odense. The studio offers a wide selection of backdrops, flexible lighting setups and space for creative compositions — here only imagination sets the limits. Whether you want a classic studio portrait, a personal series, atmospheric family images or portraits for special occasions, I tailor each session to your wishes. I prioritise naturalness and authenticity; the goal is images that engage and move those who see them. The process is simple and present: we begin with a conversation about your expectations and ideas, so I can understand the mood and look you want. During the session I guide you through poses and expressions, give practical direction and create a relaxed atmosphere that helps bring out genuine reactions. After the shoot I carefully select the best frames and perform retouching with a focus on tonal balance and emotional impact — retouching is subtle and aimed at preserving the character of the portrait. Studio 57 has experience across many approaches to portrait photography — from intimate black-and-white portraits to more constructed, stylised setups. I work with both natural light and studio strobes to achieve the desired mood, and I can advise on wardrobe, styling and small details that improve the final result. I emphasise a warm, reassuring atmosphere where even camera‑shy people feel seen and guided; sessions often become more relaxed, and the results consequently more honest. If you are looking for a portrait photographer in the Odense area who combines technical craft with a human, inclusive approach, I would be happy to have a no‑obligation conversation about your ideas. At Studio 57, portrait photography is about creating memories and images that last — photographs that both you and those who view them will feel moved by.
