STUDIO / 2018 — PRESENT

One photographer.
One natural-light room.

Ava Nørgaard founded the studio in 2018 after seven years at Nordic publications and a year of running away from them.

— APPROACH

Slow shoots. Few frames. Black coffee. Everything you see was made on film or on a Phase One in a quiet room. Retouching is minimal. Post is not where the picture is made.

— EQUIPMENT

Mamiya RZ67, Phase One XF IQ4, Leica M11. Profoto B10X strobes when we need them. Most of the time, we don't.

— ROOM

A north-facing 80 m² loft in Holešovice. Available for editorial and portrait bookings by the half-day or day. Daylight, neutral walls, two backdrops, a kettle.
