Copenhagen based fashion photographer Henrik Adamsen started out as a retoucher in the early 90s, before moving on to graphic design and art direction, and now photography. Henrik is inspired by the life around him, like colours and light, and when shooting he never plans poses as he likes to be inspired by the moment and the dialogue between him and the model.

Henrik is pretty much self-taught, but the experience from art direction and retouching gives him an advantage in knowing what he wants, what looks good, and what doesn’t look good.

I find Henrik’s photography highly interesting, and I can definitely see that he benefitted from his experience in image creation, because his work reflects the quality and creativity of a true pro. I simply love his photography, and I’m excited to see what the future has in store for him.

Here’s some of his work:
