Kontrafej ApS

Kontrafej ApS is a portrait photographer in Roskilde with a clear mission: to create portraits that endure as memories. We position ourselves as specialists in portrait photography and prioritise honesty, personality and aesthetic sensibility in every shoot. Our approach is calm and respectful — we aim to capture the true look, the small curl of a smile and the unique features that make a portrait come alive. Why choose Kontrafej as your portrait photographer? Because we have a signature style that combines depth of field, considered perspective and a natural portrait aesthetic that places face and gaze at the centre. We don’t artificially enhance in post-production; instead we celebrate authentic moments and small details like a gap tooth or a scar — elements that make a portrait genuine and memorable. How do we work? We create a safe and relaxed atmosphere so both children and adults can be themselves in front of the camera. The process is simple and professional: we listen to your needs, guide poses with a steady hand and capture multiple variations so you have choices in the final selection. Clear communication and a streamlined process are central to our approach, ensuring the collaboration feels effortless. Although portraits are our primary speciality, we also provide family photography and straightforward corporate portraits for businesses that want a natural, trustworthy image of their staff for LinkedIn or company materials. For these assignments we transfer the same honest style: professional yet lively images without excessive retouching. Based in Roskilde, Kontrafej is committed to delivering portraits in a class of their own. We want to make images you’ll be proud to display and share — photographs that tell a story and become indispensable memories. Contact us if you want a portrait that feels right and personal.
