Wilfred

Professional Photographer

Jun 2010 - Present • 16 yrs

For more than 15 years, I have worked as a professional photographer based in Copenhagen, collaborating with everyone from multinational companies and public institutions to artists, entrepreneurs, families and individuals from all walks of life. Photography has taken me into boardrooms, workshops, schools, galleries, construction sites, private homes and communities across Denmark and beyond. While cameras and images are part of my profession, people have always been at the heart of my work. Much of what I do involves building trust, listening carefully, understanding different perspectives and helping people feel comfortable enough to be themselves. Alongside my commercial work, I created The Uplift Sessions, a personal photography project in which I donate portrait sessions to people who are going through, or have overcome, difficult periods in their lives. The aim is simple: to help people see themselves in a new and more positive light. Through this work, I have had the privilege of hearing many extraordinary stories of resilience, loss, hope and personal transformation. I am also currently developing a new social photography project focused on men, identity, self-worth and personal challenges, continuing my long-standing interest in how people navigate life's difficult chapters. Alongside my photography career, I have started and operated creative businesses, organised events, worked with clients from many different cultural backgrounds and navigated both the rewards and challenges of entrepreneurship. Over the years I have learned that almost everyone carries a story, a challenge, a dream, a worry or a question they are trying to make sense of. My work has given me the opportunity to meet thousands of people and hear many of those stories. I remain endlessly curious about people, ideas, creativity, relationships, culture and the strange twists and turns life tends to throw our way.
